MattJackson Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, the hills will be slightly banked to the left, then a little to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ^^Please, like the ride will actually ever be opened! Another 3 years they'll probably remove the whole thing and throw in one of them spinning family coasters. Exactly what I think, but everybody calls be looney.

Rider117 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well, Robin's side has the hump but Batman does not. http://www.flyinphilsphotos.com/amuse/nj/sfga/2007-03-25/album0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darien Laker Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 That's hardly even a hump. For some reason, I imagined it going down a bit, then coming up, like a typical bunny hop. That is basically straight track, although you will still definitely get some air-time on it. I'm sure there were good reasons for making this modification though, they wouldn't just to it to be jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 It could look that way because the pic was taking overhead but well...I dont know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 You guys aren't looking closely enough. It's not a linear path of track...it has a bit of a sidewinding kick to it --- where the track banks rapidly to the left then immediately to the right before climbing the 200-foot tower. Go back and look at the images again...closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCs221 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I wouldn't say rapidly... that's a VERY drawn out transition. With the lack of banking, and the drawn out hill shaping/banking transitions, I don't think it'll be that great, and I'm about as sure as I can be without having ridden that it won't be anywhere close to as exciting as the rolls that were there previously. They were absolutely amazing IMO, especially with lapbars as opposed to OTSRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxhershey818xX Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Dude Chiller is going to suck !!!!! That doesnt even look like a hill. Its more of just like a bump but a very long smooth bump. Man I sure miss those 03-05 rides. They had to be the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 To me, it just looks like an incline with a leveling-out at the end that may produce a bit of airtime... The banking to left looked a bit strange in those pictures, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I would have preferred more of a hill, but I'll wait to ride the new Chiller before having an official opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisterbret Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The Chiller was testing yesterday 4/6 http://www.coasterreview.com/twister/view.php?album=D70%202007/April%202007/GA%20Opening%20Week&mode=&start=30&pic=DSC_6650.jpg&picindex=35 http://www.coasterreview.com/twister/view.php?album=D70%202007/April%202007/GA%20Opening%20Week&mode=&start=30&pic=DSC_6651.jpg&picindex=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I know that people have made sure that there is not that much "whiping of the head", but this just looks painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakizle Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I would imagine they would like to see how the hill works on one coaster before they update the other side. As for there being any headbanging...I would bet there's not going to be much. First of all, the transition is very drawn out, as DCS said. Also, I believe the ride has lab bars. Poltergeist (which has the same lap bars) has some of the fastest transitions I've ever experienced on a coaster, but there is no pain at all!

coasterrider1998 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey everyone I was there yesterday and I have top say with the transitions the train looks really smooth going through them. I sadly have to say no airtime may be induced but who knows. If you can...go to Gadv Source and look for Mysterio's Video of the day...I was the one in the DC sweatshirt. /Cr98\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVE SFKK Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 You know what,.......to be honest..............WTF IS THAT!

IwantRevenge Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 It was actually more fun than it looks, it was very fast and smooth, and sorry no airtime . oh and going up it looks really cool from the front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baclueless Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I have to agree with "IwantRevenge"......it was so anti-climatic! I would have to say that I preferred the corkscrew. But, hey....it was open today! With walk on conditions, Im not going to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
