Voice-wise, Daws Butler and Don Messick reprised their respective roles. The new stage design was only tested at three restaurants located in Omaha, Nebraska, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Augusta, Georgia. It was discontinued after the one-year test period.

Billy Bob's stage was retrofitted as Jellystone Park, with pine trees, and a picnic basket. Billy Bob was removed from the stage, Looney Bird became Boo-Boo with his oil barrel being repainted green, and Rolfe was moved to stage left and were retrofitted to become Yogi Bear with Earl being completely removed. Oddly enough, the Curtain Valance Artwork for Billy Bob and Looney Bird was left in place. Voice-wise, Daws Butler and Don Messick reprised their respective roles. The new stage design was only tested at three restaurants located in Omaha, Nebraska, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Augusta, Georgia. It was discontinued after the one-year test period.
