People waited 8 hours for Ka on its opening day. That is insanity!!

Well, it was 8 hrs with all the break downs.

After the KK incident with the changed line, wait times decreased significantly because people thought the queue was full.

Back on topic - Chiller is an awesome ride and I really hope they can be up and running for 2006.

I have never been on it but i would love to see them "dual". Just seeing robin go up and back doesnt really look cool. Both going at the same time does though. Imagine the noise.

I have been on both sides and personally I like Robin better because it makes you feel like you are going to fall out if you go slow through the cobra roll, but Batman is awesome because its a totally different sensation which is awesome on its own. A must ride for anyone who hasn't yet.

That's strange because I've never felt like I'm going to fall out on the cobra roll, but do everytime I go through the top hat and so I like Batman better. I always feel the cobra roll goes too quickly.

My first post :oops:

My speculations are Batman rox my sox Its soo much better because the tophat makes me feel like im gona fall out and splat into a billion pieces. Robin is just a boring old cobra roll, and its too slow on the barrel roll or corkscrew or whatever the heck it is.

Welcome Chillerdude! I to love the Hangtime on Chiller B

Sitting in front seat of B:TC with the hangtime along with looking straight down is why I like Batman over Robin. The cobra roll just goes too fast while the top hat is more unique and fun.

A little weird thing I do is that i look at the person sitting next to me, or just out the side of the car during the entire launch and watch the scenery fly by.

I have to admit it....I've NEVER been on either side of the Chiller :shock: This year at the park we just never had time for it, I guess. My friends aren't the biggest fans of it either, so they didn't mind not riding it. The season went on and finish, with me Chiller-less.

Next season, I really hope I can sneak a ride. I may decide to go on it opening day if there is no line

Hopefully I can get on both sides of Chiller next season!

I really miss the Batman side, I wish they would have put more time into fixing it during the season, before the El Toro, PDC, BBNP construction began. I usually don't get as many rides on Chiller as I'd like because the lines are always way too long, and the loading times are generally pretty bad.

ChillerDude · « **Reply #37 on:** December 31, 2005, 09:34:00 AM »

I agree. They should take the time to actually FIX ther rides before they put up new ones. Don't get me wrong i love the fact that we are getting two record breakers in a row and all, but id rather ride coasters that should be getting more attention, but its not. I kept on seeing batmans LIM's on the ground(probally gathering dust :lol: ) I say there should be at least one season for mantnece anoly. not a monstrus coasters, even though i love them. But to me its starting to get annoying. :roll:

On a positive note, if you exclude Kingda Ka, Batman Chiller was really the only major problem ride in 2005. Chaos doesn't really count because that was more of a safety concern.

I think 2006 will be even better in terms of uptime. I know for a fact that its a priority.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #39 on:** December 31, 2005, 10:40:03 AM »

This is a good point you bring up Wade. He is right in saying no other coaster had downtime or severe problems only Kingda Ka and Chiller: Batman. I think that is pretty impressive to have only one coaster down for the entire season, but no problems with any other coasters. Of course you have your small breakdowns, but those happen in everypark and there is nothing you can do about it.

I say that in 2006 and 2007 we will see no rides down and everything will be operating to its full potential for the entire season. Something that will make the GP really, really happy.

How long, does anyone know, was Batman: The Ride was down for?

innervision · « **Reply #41 on:** December 31, 2005, 04:19:30 PM »

I believe it was a couple of days.

Steve · « **Reply #42 on:** December 31, 2005, 04:32:35 PM »

Yes, B:TR was only down for a week at best.

WadeJ · « **Reply #43 on:** December 31, 2005, 05:51:29 PM »

That ride is actually very reliable. The down time was caused by the chain breaking.
