Beto Carrero: The chiller comes on this Friday afternoon (29)

Silently, the Beto Carrero World begins to receive today what will be one of the biggest attractions of the park.

According to unofficial information, this is a new roller coaster called The Chiller and being brought into the United States. The toy would have been purchased from the Six Flags in New Jersey, where he worked for 10 years. The roller coaster gained fame in the land of Uncle Sam for being the official attraction of superheroes Batman and Robin and reach speeds of 110 km / h.

About 60 containers arrive in the early afternoon to the Port of Itapoá with pieces of the toy. A spokesperson for the port could not tell if the charge carries a roller coaster full or part, but has confirmed that the United States and the recipient is the Park of Penha.

Officially, the Park Beto Carrero World chose not to speak. Just said that several attractions should arrive by the end of the year.

I do wish this park the best with the ride, and it will be great to see it up and running again.

Thanks for finding this information Austin!

I do have to say it looks a little worse for wear. I guess that's what happens when it sits in a farm for years.

Post by: WadeJ on July 16, 2012, 01:04:38 PM: Didn't it just get painted before being taken down as well? Regardless, I'm sure overall it's fine. I'm really curious how they make out operating it being that it will need all new computers, LIM's and trains.

I'm glad Chiller got a new home, definitely deserved a legitimate second chance instead of the paperweight treatment it got back here. Will I go to Brazil to ride it? HELLLLLLLLL NO!

Post by: Robert T Ackerman on July 20, 2012, 09:25:09 PM: I guess that doesn't suck about Chiller anymore. We won't have to see it all messed up like that. (only a few of you will understand this post)
