Last night I was reading one of my roller coaster books, particularly, The Roller Coaster Lover's Companion (revised and updated 2002 edition) by Steven J. Urbanowicz. Not only was it sad to read a book written by Steve, but, I came across a section written about the now defunct Batman And Robin: The Chiller. In Chapter 6, The World's Best Steel Roller Coasters, you will find about 20 coasters which Steve has listed as "Five Star Steel Coasters." The second coaster on the list is Batman and Robin: The Chiller. Here is what Steve has to say about The Chiller:

"Not one, but two different track profiles, in a similar basic layout, this linear induction motor launch shuttle catapults riders from 0-70 mph in 4 seconds, flips them through inversions (two on Batman, three on Robin), and soars them up a 200-foot tower, at which time the train rockets backward through the same course. The train was retrofitted with lap-bars only in 2001-2002, making the experience of flying with total freedom and smoothness quite exceptional, and truly making this ride one of the most intense, if not the most intense, coaster on the planet." (Quoted from The Roller Coaster Lover's Companion (revised and updated 2002 edition) by Steven J. Urbanowicz page 49)

Noticed on screamscape that Chiller is up for sale.

who has the biggest yard?

How awesome would that be lol. This is awesome news though because it opens the possibility that we may on day get to ride it again. Even if only one side was sold, I'd be fine as long as it's batman

I'll bid a dollar.

Maybe that track is still available.

I place my bets on a park in a place that has no concerns with liability. Think Korea, China, etc. I'd be really surprised, but excited, to see it open again in the states. I'm also surprised Six Flags didn't already ship off the trains and lims to the other parks with premier launch coasters just for spare parts.

Once they removed the OTSR, Robin was great.  But, the Batman side was still always better.  That tophat was far more compact that the Freeze tophat and IMO that overall forces were far greater.

Fail Shoe...fail!

If the Batman side was open while I was in the park, that's where I was. Definitely the best element on a roller coaster.

They had problems early on as well but at this point are extremely reliable.

Freeze pwns all the spaghetti bowls (Fligh of Fear) and every other launched coaster in the world IMO. I never got the Chiller credit though.

Both chillers rank higher in my ballot than every other launcher I've been on (except maverick).

It's like this with me for launchers:

1) Maverick
2) Batman Side
3) Robin Side
4) Stormrunner
5) Incredible Hulk

Mind you I have been on 8-9 launchers so far, I don't really like TTD or Ka and I don't exactly recall what rock n' rollercoaster was like.
