PKIDelirium Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 You're right, maybe they just got bored and said HEY MAYBE WE'LL DISMANTLE SOME OF CHILLER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 How mutch proof is that of anything? Well its photographed evidence of them dismantling the coaster, I'd say thats pretty much definitive proof that SFGAdv is removing it. What more proof do you need? What are their reasons for removing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Some things are not posted until evidence thereof becomes public. This be one of them. Enough said. As for why they are removing it, the new Six Flags believes all rides should run virtually all the time. The park has made clear that despite its best efforts, Chiller could not be made compatible with that standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Wait a second, why would they be starting in the middle where the track was just redone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Because the coaster is being removed. Both sides. Forever. This is not a redo; nor a remodelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorial Day, 2206--July 9, 2006; 7/4/2007--??? I see your point. In actual operating time the Chiller had much more up time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
