Hey guys, I've got some news for you...

The Chiller is still waiting for his rebuild... The park is concentrated on Dreamwork's new areas. So this will take some months , and Chiller will be build next year...

Don't know if you saw this.. but:

At the time of the ride's removal at our park the train running on the Robin side (Red side) had 5 cars. Each car had silver circles in the center of the cars. On the blue Batman side, there were 3 red cars for the train on the track. They each had black circles in the center of the cars. It was rumored that one of the cars from the Robin train was going to be added to the Batman train, making two 4-car trains. Sadly this never happened before the ride was removed. So in total at the end of things, The Chiller had 8 functioning cars.When the ride opened it had 10 functioning cars (Two five car trains) The ride always ran 5 car trains, BUT it was planned at the end of the last season to run two 4 car trains. When the ride opened it had and ran two five car trains. In 2006 two cars were damaged in an incident and put permanently out of service. The trains had a lot of changes so it's all a bit confusing. The ride can and did (although only in tests) run with a four car train though. However it seems like all the cars are at your park, 8 red cars. You may be confused with maybe pictures of a blue train on the chiller's tracks. That is in reality the red train now (the one with silver circles) It was painted red for the last season of operation.

Thank you... I knew about the red train (that was blue) ,but it's really a little bit confused...

I thought that there was only one train at the park, but they have confirmed 2 trains with 4 cars; all red.

I hope to see it running with 5 cars trains in each side....

IgetAround Could you answer one question?... How many cars are in Chiller's trains?

There're 2 trains with 4 cars in each side in the park... Both are red.

I've heard about a "new" train that nobody saw... Do you know something about it?

Sorry to double post but a thought just occurred to me; does anyone think it might be possible they are just restoring / refurbishing the ride? I was looking into the history of the park and it appears they have done this twice in the past. As in, brought a coaster onto the property, fixed it up, then sold it again. And given the status of the park, I find it hard to believe they would have adequate funding to run the ride. It's a small park with coasters no where near being on this level. If a park like Great Adventure could not keep up with the costs of such a ride, I'd imagine a smaller park might have lots more trouble with it.

I'm sure that the chiller will run again here, unfortunately it'll take some time until we'll be able to see the tracks on their place. According to the project the area where The Chiller will be assemble is going to be used at a festival in november, until there only the track will be refurbish...

**** rumors about new trains

Someone asked for the trains' photos..... At least the red one.... it looks great!

Taken by a randon visitor at the park.... Thanks!

Chiller's pieces arrived this morning at the park

Thanks to : http://www.tabloidedosparques.com (check other photos there)

I am personally THRILLED to see that this ride will be rising again. I thought it was going to rot in that field forever. I used to operate this coaster back in it's final seasons, I was quite close to it. I believe the problems can be fixed, but it will be tough. An entire team of six flags engineers couldn't figure it out, but granted they probably had a limited budget to work with... and add that to all the modifications they did to the ride in the prior off season it would not have been wise to invest more into it. I heard they are bringing in an outside company to do some modifications, not Premier. I expect they will modify the trains, purchase new LIMs, weld up the track some, paint it, and look into rewiring and reprogramming/updating the computer system. I wish it all the best of luck in its new home, I'll be visiting Brazil shortly after its opening...

The park has a vekoma's engineer with direct contact with the company.... maybe Vekoma can help( but I'm sure that Premier wants to see the ride perfect...) . I hope they modify the trains too.

These aren't Chiller's containers...

. The Chiller is still on the port waiting the transport to another area where the track will be painted. Sad to say, but The Chiller will be operating only in 2013....

Hey guys!

After some delays, The Chiller is in Brazil! Later (today)some photos will appear...

so is it confirmed that the chiller was actually sold? who says six flags is not moving the parts of the ride to another storage area? if it has not been confirmed yet if the ride was sold or not, who knows really where it is or where it is going...?

This may answer your questions:

Randon guy: "I remember hearing that this ride was purchased, but when was it announced that it was heading to Brazil? If someone has an article or something, I'd love to read it."

The guy who take some photos of the Chiller being removed: "The truck driver showed me the paperwork, i don't know if it was announced publicly,..."

Hey guys, sorry about the confusion!
