Hence being one of the reasons why Chiller was sold off.

It could.  If I recall correctly, it was purchased by a holding company.

Last I heard about Chiller, it was sitting in the field of an abandoned farm doing nothing but rusting. If it was purchased by a holding company, do not count on it coming back as the rumor I heard was that it was going to be recycled steel.

NO! They can't do that. That's terrible. What they should let you do is buy a piece on E-bay!

I guess that's good.  You can pretend you're the park and use it as a lawn ornament. Or maybe a paper weight, lol.

Or an endless money pit? All three options were tested. :)

It got plenty of chances to live. Plus the fates have been dealt already. Haven't you guys been reading?

Yes, considering it outlasted Spinnaker, Time Warp, Jump, and a countless number of older rides, which had more uptime in their final season than Batman Chiller had in its entire life span, I'd say Chiller had enough chances to the point where one could be drawn to the conclusion that fixing Chiller was someone's sexual fetish. It even had two redesigns!
Prepare to weather the storm!

 I know this sounds wierd, but the coaster can't help that its a lemon. Its not the chiller's fault. It's GA's for not fixing what needed to be fixed int the first place: Trains, brakes, lims, and track. They waited too long. And closing it doesn't do much.

Waited too long?  They spent TEN YEARS doing nothing BUT fixing it!  Let's not forget that it opened for literally hours in 97 before it went down for the rest of that season.

I see nothing...

Nevermind, fixed.  And that doesn't erase 10 years of unreliability. Sorry!

Two? Are you referring to the G-Rolls and the restraint designs?
