Ahhh of course it ran after we left! Thanks for the update though Tom, maybe I will swing by tomorrow to finally ride it after 2 years or waiting.

And to think, we waited unti labout 4:30 to catch a ride on it..

They must have figured out what was wrong with it.... I mean where to get more staff

It did run solid most of the day yesterday which was impressive to see. It still does get very high on that spike though.

Wasnt that the whole problem to begin with which is why it was closed?

I went on B:TC for the first time on Monday. I have to say that the tophat is great.

The launch is pretty forceful, and the zero-g roll was lots of fun. Glad to see that it's finally open!

Actually today (wednesday) both tracks were open Robin and Batman!
I saw the two actually going at the same time not launching at the same time but Robin was on the way back when Batman was launching, both in their loops. Too bad my camera is slow and cant take pictures fast, it missed it :[ although i did get some cool pictures of eltoro testing today!!!! it was great

Dubya91 · « **Reply #59 on:** May 31, 2006, 08:44:08 PM »

Alright now lets just hope they can stay running together!

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #60 on:** June 02, 2006, 03:14:22 PM »

When did this happen? When I was there on Tuesday and Wednesday, it looked to be going really slow and only making it half way up the spike... hate to say I told you so.

Anybody got any pictures of the valley? Haha isnt it suppose to be Batman that valleys?

ChuckR · « **Reply #62 on:** June 02, 2006, 04:16:28 PM »

All I gotta say is that they better keep the Batman side going and they don't take any of its LIM's for Robin...

Dubya91 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 02, 2006, 05:45:47 PM »

Well it seems Chiller just cannot run smoothly for more then a month, lets just hope this is nothing too serious and that it can be fixed easily! Like chuck said, they better not take LIMS from Batman, cause then its De Ja Vu all over again!

WadeJ · « **Reply #64 on:** June 03, 2006, 10:35:15 AM »

/\ Apparantly not. Both sides are closed until further notice.

GADVwow · « **Reply #65 on:** June 03, 2006, 11:02:18 AM »

Lovely. Just lovely.

I finally get close to getting back to my beloved park...and...!

Next you will tell me Rolling Thunder has termites, and they discovered them while building El Toro!

KingdakaRoxmysox · « **Reply #66 on:** June 03, 2006, 11:21:57 AM »

Oh man i got one ride on batman on wednesday and now both are closed what happened!! i cant even believe that this happened they both worked fine like two days ago!!!

Every single Premier launch coaster is shut down for various reasons right now. This isn't "Just" because Robin vallied.

Other parks, too?

What about the Flights of Fear? Ooops, THE Flight of Fear?

SilverBullet · « **Reply #69 on:** June 03, 2006, 12:31:16 PM »

^Yep. Closed. Something happened with Freeze in Stl. with hitting a wire and all LIM launches are down til further notice for inspections.

Nothing really anyone could've done to prevent this valley honestly.

Here is some additional information I located: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_&_Robin:_The_Chiller

Quote

"On June 2, 2006, there was an accident on the ride in which one of the tires on the last car of the roller coaster fell off while it was being pulled up. The worst injury occurred in the last car, in which someone broke their arm."

That cannot be good...

WadeJ · « **Reply #72 on:** June 03, 2006, 06:39:35 PM »

Wow, thats interesting. I wonder where they got that info? Not good at all if its true.

SilverBullet · « **Reply #73 on:** June 03, 2006, 06:47:09 PM »

I could edit Wikipedia right now. I don't trust that at all.
