Erik Johnson Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Nooo. Now theres two credits I won't get when I go there on the East Coast trip next year. I hope they move it to another park. Even if they were standing there next year, it would have been doubtful that they would have been running. They have been pretty much closed for most of the last 2 years.

vjgx Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Pretty disappointing, seeing as Chiller was one of the closed rides that I REALLY wanted to ride when I went to GADV this summer. Now if only they would move the pieces and rebuild it where Psyclone used to be at SFMM... But that's just wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyml Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Shame I'll never get the blue side though, guess I gotta go ride a Freeze to get top hat experience i didnt get the robin credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If anybody else follow the A Walk In The Park podcast, the episodes show how often Chiller was working and how noisy it was, both before and after the retracking. The host even menitoned that with Freefall gone, Chiller gone, and the idle Batman stunt show stadium gone, there's a lot of room on that side of the park for growth. He also expressed it was just and observation at the time the video was shot and that he wasn't attempting to spread rumors. Admin note: No advertising attempts here, but mentioning a relevant source to the topic. Besides, I know which side my bread's buttered on.

Rider117 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 The worst part is that the Batman side never even ran on the new "humps". I'll miss Chiller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerC Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 That ride looked sweet with the zero g rolls. I liked to watch them launch the ride seperatly(Like Robin would be in the middle of the cobra roll while Batman was at the top of the TopHat).

alpengeist04 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 So wait a minute. They just wasted money on replacing the Zero-G-Roll, and now it's getting chopped? How dumb. They made one last attempt to get this darn coaster(s) to operate. It didn't work out for many reasons, oh well, time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_Smith Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 So wait a minute. They just wasted money on replacing the Zero-G-Roll, and now it's getting chopped? How dumb. How much do you think they spent on it?(The retracking that is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenA07 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I bet the retracking of the ride was an expensive endeavor. Remember it's not just stick new track in there, they had to pay for designers to redesign that section of the ride, production of the track, construction costs. I am a bit surprised that the park has decided to take this ride, not really one I would have pegged to be on the chopping block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 There are some more photos posted onto my site http://www.greatadventurenet.com/chillerdeconstruction.htm There will probably be more by tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matttty Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 This was one of my favorite rides! but the time has come for it to leave us. I have been on this ride in all of its phases (Except Batman humps obivously) Batman- OTSR, Rolls Lapbars, Rolls Robin- OTSR, Rolls Lapbars, Rolls Lapbars, Humps This just makes 2008 look better seeing as movietown is now a ghost town.

sfmmrules! Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Looked like an awsome coster. I've never even been to SFGA. I hope it goes to another park so I'll get to ride it! But is it a copy of Mr. Freeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 That's sad...it was an awesome ride. Well the park is making the right move though, and for all we know, maybe something better will go in it's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme102 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 With Chiller gone now they need to put something in the Movietown area of the park. It seemed dead already with Freefall gone. The only thing left there is Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude28 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I just got back from the park. It is sad to see Chiller coming down. I will definately miss it. I have some pictures from the day, including Chiller Deconstruction. Say goodbye. I was bored. Obligatory KK shot. More Chiller...or would that be less Chiller? Nitro was running GREAT today. Happy Stuff Back to the sad stuff. Happy ET riders. Alright, enough of the sad stuff. I hope these rides don't go anywhere for a long time. Technical difficulties: Note the lack of track in the background. would that be considered "technical"? Reminds me of last off season. That blue piece of track never had a train with riders go over it. Next piece to go? Valley is gone. The crane, doing its thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LcHg5265 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I believe KK will always have the possibility of being taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I started to cry looking at those pictures....goodbye chiller I will miss you soo much! for all the neck pains and near black outs you gave me...as well as the mild headache from the sound of the train launch over me when I didn't expect it.

matttty Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I believe KK will always have the possibility of being taken out. What does that have to do with the topic and KK has really picked itself up this year, all four trains working with minimum downtime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm sorry, but I find it quite funny that you are crying over a roller coaster. There are those of us here how hold parks and rides very dear, and yes, some do cry when you've had great times with either and then they're gone. One day friend, you'll understand.
