Lucky I experienced it during coaster celebration, it's first year with lap bars. It was a blast especially in reverse. If I had a choice I would take B&RTC over KK any day.

By far my favorite ride ever at Gadv. Was extremely sad to see it go, but at least someone is trying to resurrect it.

I really liked that coaster and that's only based on the Robin side. Hopefully they'll be able to keep it running.

Good news even though I'll most likely never ride it in Brazil. This is most likely one of my favorite launched coaster but never got to ride the Batman side with just the lapbars. Hopefully they can keep this thing running better then at Great Adventure.

Nice to see the Chiller being relocated. Although I never got to ride it, it did look really cool and intense. I do wonder how much of the sturcture needs to be replaced as I'm pretty sure sitting in a field in New Jersey for years has not been kind to the structure, track, and LIMs. All I hope is that it doesn't become as jerky as the Canyon Blaster at the Great Escape which had some of its track replaced after sitting in Old Indiana Fun Park for 4 years :lol:

Glad to see Chiller saved. Though I only got to ride the Robin side in 2005 I was quite impressed with the ride. Though I hope the inline twists come back I highly doubt they will.

I never got to ride it but it looks like it was a lot of fun and intense. Nice to see that the ride is going to be used again instead of sitting in a junkyard.

Piraten is *the* roller coaster (after finally riding Expedition Geforce, I'll admit, it was pretty freaking awesome to!) .
