[medusa99What's with the donkeys anyway?]

The hart-line rolls were removed do to fatigue cracking in the trains bogies. The cracking did result in an incident in 2006 that put the robin train out of operation. The batman train was then painted red and used on the robin side with the modified track but the cracking still occurred, and with the high cost of maintance the ride already has due to the lims it was removed. they did get a new train for batman side in 2007 but never bothered putting it on the track because to many lims had to be repaired.

I'm unclear to why the heart line rolls were removed... I read somewhere that they feared the train stalling if the LIMs failed, but to me it looks like the train would stall after the roll. Was it an issue with forces? Were the rolls uncomfortable?

It getting stuck upside down was never an issue there was always a man lift under the ride to push the train if it happen. most of the time the train would stop down by water effects station. There was a platform to remove guest there as well as a spot in the track where the rails would come off to take the train apart.

It looks like whoever bought Chiller before backed out of the deal. I guess that it was pretty obvious sense its been sitting in storage down the street from the park since it was taken down.

Could they spilt the sides apart? Like could Robin be sold somewhere and Batman sold to another park? Because I think that would be the best bet for any park looking into it.

The company that removed the ride is who bought it they have been trying to sell it ever since they removed it.

I wonder if the odd shaping of the rolls were what caused the excess stress on the trains. One thing I remember when riding was that the rolls "pumped" in that they were not one fluid rolling motion but felt like half a roll and then another half back to back.

HAHAHA, I live right near this place!! I actually have a pic of me in front of it!

Last night I was watching a coupe of Chiller videos for the heck of it and though about what B&R might have looked life if it had been build today...
