vacoaster09 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think this one of the projects I am most excited about for 2013... I think I definitely want to visit Brazil for the first time... I growing interest in the country and being able to ride Chiller would be great as well... though likely would try and make a trip to coincide with the 2016 summer olympics.

biker7766 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I just checked RCDB, and I noticed a few new pictures on the Chillers page! Looks like all of the pieces are on-site! Great news for this park and us enthusieasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Ah, now we have three reasons to visit Brazil: 2014 World's Cup, 2016 Summer Olympics, and the newly built and much more improve Chiller. But I was fortunate to ride my one and only ride on the Chiller ( Batman side ) when I visited Six Flags Great Adventure. This was the first coaster that I ever got to experience the top hat inversion, the same inversion that I will be riding again and again with Mr. Freeze. So if Brazil didn't buy this coaster so they could use the extra metal for their Olympic stadium, I hope they can get this coaster running again, and once again become a cool ride ( if you pardon the pun ).

lucazferrazCBMR Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I worked at the Chiller back in 2002 during a work experience program and I worked with company that sold the coaster to Beto Carrero World. I spent 45 days in NJ puting the pieces in containers to ship them to Brazil. Sorry to say this, but the in-line twists are gonne. I would have brouht them if I could. About the LIM motors: we did not test them yet, but most of them are supposed to be working, since they were stored in a warehouse, protected from the weather. But it is gonna take some time before you see the coaster running again. There is a looooot of work to be done on the electric panels and power station, besides, Beto Carrero World is focusing on their Madasgascar and Shrek new areas right now. I'm guessing we'll only be able to ride the Chiller again by late 2013, but still in time for the FIFA World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucazferrazCBMR Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I spent 45 days at NJ preparing the Chiller to be sent to Brazil. Hopefully we'll see it running again soon. It was a fun job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the update. Although most of us on TPR will never ride it in its new home, we are still interested in the progress. Edited October 13, 2012 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How did I miss this! Well this is amazing news! Super glad to hear about it! Is it just me or is premier way overlooked? I mean a lot of their rides are flat out awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker7766 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Any new news about the rides current status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucazferrazCBMR Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The ride remains OTG for now. The park is under a major refurbishment since they signed a contract with DreamWorks. A new Madagascar area will open in october 2013, then a Shrek area will open on march 2014 and the Chiller is scheduled to open by the end of 2014.

Jason Maier Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 1. What if the Chiller had used LSM launches instead of LIM launches? 2. Did the two sides EVER duel like they were supposed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 ^ (To the 2nd question) Yes. It was rare, but if you look on YouTube there is some footage of both sides dueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The ride would not have used LSM launches till years after its opening and numerous problems. Remember, it was the FIRST LIM launched coaster, a technology that is a predecessor to LSMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me: this is this paint. The steel is pretty thick and can be easily repainted. The controls, motors and trains are stored in a wearhouse. The cost to rebuild the coaster including refurb, repaint and electrical is estimated in 5M USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
