Batman & Robin: The Chiller

[batmanrobinchiller]

ill try to find out where its going , i have some friends in freight brokerage...

 

Apparently, its going to Brazil? There are rumors that its been shipped to Brazil?

[Up_Up_and_Away]

Wherever you go, I will find you and ride you once again!

 

Apparently, its going to Brazil? There are rumors that its been shipped to Brazil?

 

Yeah have fun with that

[GAcoaster]

The funny thing is if the rumor is true and it's going to Brazil, the other half of the rumor is it's going to Beto Carrero World which is the park that copied several things from Great Adventure:

 

 

[Andrew M]

woah deja vu batman!

[batmanrobinchiller]

Yeah have fun with that

 

lol I will! You do not know how far I will go to ride Chiller once again. Its almost frightening how obsessed I'm with this one of a kind coaster.

 

 

 

[GAcoaster]

It's a strange park with a 1st gen Freefall:

 

 

A ripoff of "It's a Small World" with an entrance that looks like Mythos at Islands of Adventure:

 

 

 

Ripoffs of Seuss Landing:

 

 

And other weirdness all around:

 

Chiller will fit right in if the rumors are true, and I'm sure it will be themed to a superhero named Bortman and his sidekick Ribbon.

hahaha. Excuse my language, but what the **** is this place? I'm actually concerned if Chiller goes there.

[GAcoaster]

There's a ton of pictures and info about it on TPR. Check it out!

[batmanrobinchiller]

^Thanks! My fears have been confirmed...this Brazilian park looks CREEPY! Its making me sick...

[Andrew M]

i kinda wana go. road trip anyone?

[DiveMachine]

There's a ton of pictures and info about it on TPR. Check it out!

I think its funny that they have so many similarities to our park, and now they have chiller too

[The Master]

Pretty bizarre looking park, it would be sad if Chiller leaves the country bu it's still better than being scrapped.

[gafreak]

foe some reason it just says posted image on GAcoasters posts, and link doesnt work, anyone else have that issue?

[chillerrocked]

i know the ride is going to brazil but is it confirmed to be this place? i really hope not...

[gafreak]

heres some proof that chillers been sold,this was taken on the NJ Turnpike around 9 am on 5-21-2012, getting of exit fourteen heading towards the ship yards

 

[batmanrobinchiller]

^Yeah the park its relocating to, has been confirmed.

[Thunderbolt]

I wonder what the sale price was? Considering how long its been sitting idle in a field, I guess it went cheaply. It would need to. Otherwise, why pay to ship a failed ride overseas, and incur the cost of re-assembly? I wonder if Premier Rides will handle the refurbishment. Will they reinstall the heart-line rolls or the humps? I'm far more curious to see what is done to the coaster, than in actually ride it.

Hi

I'm participating in the CBMR (Clube Brasileiro de Montanhas-Russas) and I live very close to the park.

 

I would like to inform you that we are very happy if the park to confirm the purchase, in case, the 25th of this month will be announced in the new BNT park attractions. There is suspicion of an alliance between the Beto Carrero World, and two of the largest and most important film companies and the entertainment world. Still unknown.

I affirm that the park is safe and of high level. Its attractions are fully taken care and maintenance is done weekly.

 

 

I know there's some strange things in the park... but some users do not like very much the comments, never criticize any international park, and we will not make it.

Theme Areas (Áreas Temáticas)

With 10 thousand square meters, it holds booking-offices, banks and shops. After going through this grand castle, the visitor will find the Event Square, Cine MadEmotion, the Chairlift, the Palace of Ice Creams and other great attractions that integrate the Nation Avenue.

The Park's Zoo is one of the biggest and most beautiful of the world, with more than 700 animals from 171 different species, settled in an environment that reproduces their own habitat. There are zebras, elephants, tigers, lions, jaguars, llamas, bears, alligators, deers, baboons, hippopotamus, chimps, camels, tamanduas, ostriches, peacocks, swans and a lot more. In the Snake-pit (Serpentário) the native snakes have a special spot, a mini rain forest environment reproduction and a meadow, with pit vipers, venomous pit vipers, boa constrictors and rattlesnakes, show the species' exoticism and mysticism.

 

The Primate Science Center (Centro de Primatologia) is a highlight at the Zoo, because Beto Carrero's team gives the primates special attention. Concerned with their safety, welfare and entertainment, an 11 island archipelago was built, being always monitored by the park's veterinarian and biologist. A maternity hospital and a clinic are also part of the primates' complex. Another distinguishable attraction is the Island of Baboons (Ilha dos Babuínos).

 

The World of Horses (Mundo dos Cavalos) is another Beto Carrero World's innovation. It's a 5 thousand square meter visiting area and almost a two thousand square meter backstage (for equine nursing). The attraction offers horse, pony and carriage rides through wonderful gardens and imperial palm trees, the seniors may watch it in an air-conditioned waiting-room. At World of Horses, homage was paid to 'Faísca` by giving him a specially decorated new bay.

 

The Moms and Puppies (Mamães e Filhotes) spot enchant the children that feed animals like goats and lambs with milk bottles straight from the park's farm. The puppies' feeding time is between 3h30 and 4h pm.

A long suspension bridge is the Island of Pirates (Ilha dos Piratas) entrance; animatronic puppets present the tradition and behavior of the "sea robbers" to the visitors. The constructions and the boats are inspired in the Captain Flick and his crew stories that lived in the sea hunting for treasures. In this place, the visitor can find attractions like the Great Cave (Grande Caverna), the Stranded Boat (Barco Encalhado), the Pirates' Cave (Caverna dos Piratas), place where they hid their gold, the Galleon (Galeão) and the Pirate Bar (Bar Pirata), the fun House of Mirrors (Casa dos Espelhos), the Lighthouse (Farol) and the Pirate Boat (Barco Pirata) are some of Beto Carrero World's extreme rides.

 

The Far West (Velho Oeste) reproduces a typical 19th century North American city, when the territory was colonized towards Pacific Ocean. Peculiar constructions, like the Fort Alamo (Forte Álamo), the Saloon and all the characters (the sheriff, cowboys, prospectors, showgirls, gunmen) the Gold-Mine (Mina de Ouro), notable characteristic of that time and the Indian Tribe (Aldeia Indígena) show the visitants their habits.

 

A long stop at the Fantasy Land (Terra da Fantasia) is inevitable, the adventure starts at the boarding station, the imposing João Alves de Queiroz, where visitors are properly warned: "If you are afraid of the dark and giants you better stay at the station". With an 11 million reais initial investment, the Dinomagic Railroad (Ferrovia Dinomagic) offers a ride through out the world of magic filled with giant animals and frightening dinosaurs. On the way, oriented by the locomotive engineer that explains the attractions, visitors find the Hope Village (Vila Esperança) (typical Azorean place), the Land of Giants (Terra dos Gigantes) where, besides watching animals in a size never seen before, they are swallowed by an enormous snake. Trough the journey there is a chance to check the Rain Forest, where the visitor can breathe fresh air enclosed by native vegetation carefully preserved by Beto Carrero World. Also sees Beto Carrero's House, faces a Train Robbery (Assalto ao Trem) - staged by actors and one of the most amazing moments of the ride. Passes through the Model Vegetable Garden (Horta Modelo) cultivated by the Park and the Arabian Tent (Tenda Árabe), where a sultan lives with his wives. But the strongest point of the ride is the Dinosaurs Cave (Caverna dos Dinossauros), a huge theater where visitors watch, from inside the train, a fantastic light and sound show with dinosaurs in their real size and natural movements facing hostile situations in their wild life in the Jurassic period.

 

There is a part of Germany at the German Village (Vila Germânica). A German style house complex is the perfect replica of a typical village. The spot pays homage to the immigrants that helped Santa Catarina build its wealth. And of course, it couldn't work without a typical restaurant: the Bier Haus that offers Beto Carrero World's visitors a typical German gastronomy.

 

Safety

When it comes to safety, there is no playing around at Beto Carrero World! All efforts are made to assure the visitors' welfare. The Park strictly follows the rules given by the ride's manufacturer, exhaustively tests each equipment before releasing it to the public and carries on with regular preventive maintenance. The day starts with a very detailed safety check list, called start up, without it, nothing operates.

There are also written safety procedures and oral orientation given by the monitors in each attraction, regarding on how the rides work, proper age and to whom is suitable, in case of extreme rides. Besides, these equipments structurally have a device that inhibits its function if the person hasn't buckled the safety-belt properly. Parents with small kids get especial information in each attraction.

 

This binomial - prevention and attention - is essential and it has been keeping the park away from serious accidents, between visitors and staff, for over 16 years.

 

Services

1.100 people work in the Park, they are collaborators and third party services providers - these last ones in 45 small businesses, distributed in 78 selling spots. There are 22 snack bars, seven restaurants, eight bombonieres and six ice cream parlors. Most of the entrepreneurs live in the coast near the Park, many of them used to be fishermen.

Wow! Thank you for all this info!

[mariarenatafranca]

I'm so sorry for the mess the brazilians are making here. Please keep in mind that not all the brazilians are like that, and there are some brazilians that speak a decent english.

 

I live in Brazil, but I travel a lot around the world, and BCW is indeed, a weird park. At the same time it has some "major" rides like an Intamin Drop Tower (two, in fact), and a SLC coaster, it lacks themeing, accessbility, landscaping and originality.

 

The sad fact is that some brazilian's don't know how to take criticism, and most of them don't get american humour. It's low self esteem + lack of money to travel abroad, I guess... But I can assure you that not all brazilians are close minded like that.

 

I don't agree with our parks policy of buying old, unwanted stuff, like the Chiller and Deja Vu (whitch is rotting away in Recife). I think a decent, large mine train would be a better addition to BCW right now.

[29yrswithaGApass]

No offense taken and we don't mean to criticize the park in Brazil. It offers a lot of different things that are just a little strange compared to things here in the U.S. We just hope that Chiller operates a little more reliably in South America than it did at Great Adventure. We will be curious to see how it goes!

 

Welcome everyone to our site!

[pp.amorim]

Sorry Maria Renata, you only know to criticize our Brazilian parks, so that was banned by an administrator to cause confusion.

At no time demand the opnion of Americans, and yes, we tried to show in fact how the park is.

I come on behalf of multiple users, I ask that is most consistent with your comments.

 

 

Changing the subject, someone possesses something new?

 

Thank you.

Edited May 23, 2012 by pp.amorim

[mariarenatafranca]

Was that english that you tried to use? I couldn't tell, could be armenian!

 

 

Please brazilians, stop embarassing the rest of us!
