CycloneMan Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Well, this is not all my footage. It's mine, Dan Lockward's, and Chris Chavan's. This was a group NEC video, so we even had some help from Josh Davidson and Amanda Gagnon, though I did all the editing and what not. Anyway, this is our tribute to Batman and Robin: The Chiller. I hope you like it! -Dainan "Feedback encouraged" Rafferty
kraxleRIDAH Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Great rare footage of both tracks operating simultaneously. Absolutely horrible music.
saxman47 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I personally think the music fit the video perfectly, nice job! and btw, watching this brings a tear to my eye......Chiller was always a favorite of mine. So unique, so intense...........and that roar I'm just sad that I didn't get to ride Batman during those couple weeks in 2006 when it operated. I think it was open for Coasters after Dark (or Coaster Celebration?) which I couldn't attend, so I went the very next day and it was closed again Little did I know that would be my last chance......
Coasterlvr_nc Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I wish i could have ridden it this year T_T My first visit to GADV was in late June and it was closed. It looked like so much fun too.
bobafett Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I never got the chance to ride either side of this coaster even though I visit this park a few times a year. Oh well, it's my own fault. Maybe in my next life I will.
bgeguy Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Nice vid. I've been wanting to go to GADV but have never had the chance. Batman looked awesome.
PURE Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I went on Speed in Vegas and after riding that I knew both of these rides had to be legit. Batman with that huge tophat had to be fun. And those Zero-G rolls before turned hills look smooth transitioning. Many thanks for the video. But the audio, is that Pink?
californiascreamer1 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 So Sad... I Really Wanted To Get That Credit. It Looked Really Fun.
coastercrazed49 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 To bad that looked like such an awesome ride. It looked pretty intense to, through the barrel roll. To bad to see it go.
CycloneMan Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 I'm really gratefull you all liked the video. I really worked on hard on it. And those rolls were NOT smooth -Dainan "I will miss my ride though" Rafferty
missingmusician Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 i never got to ride it. It was a nice video. It looked like so much fun. I love going backwards. I think the song fit perfectly, actually.
joedonuts1011 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 It was a great ride. It was VERY hard to get the Batman credit. I never got to ride the Batman side with the lapbar restraint. I do remember the top hat was incredibly intense going backwards. The headbanging sucked with the OTSR's. Shame they couldn't get it to work. It's too bad it couldn't be completely modified to be a full circuit coaster. Well....look on the bright side. We're getting a Wild Mouse in the dark in its place. Go figure.
KrakenKing Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I went there over the summer twice. I luckily got the Robin credit... but missed out on the Batman side. Robin was excellent, it was really intense both forwards and backwards through the Cobra Roll, also the turns that replaced the Zero-G rolls were fun as well.
bgwfreak Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Now that makes me even more depressed about never getting to ride these. I rode St Louis' Mr Freeze last year and loved it.
coasterdude28 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I was fortunate enough to ride both sides with both the lapbars and OTSR's. They both were great rides. Batmans' tophat going backwards was an incredible sensation.
Coasterlvr_nc Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 T_T still havent been on a single Premier shuttle, they all look soo much fun too!
IwantRevenge Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Great video I will miss you chiller we all will.
Manny In England Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Good song choice, it really went well. Great video, looked like a good ride.
deguy123 Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Great job on the video and the song goes great with it. I wouldn't have thought it would really be getting the ax. I so wanted to get the credit on Batman with just the lap bars. I mean this wild mouse crap is ok but it sucks since its replacing a different and great coaster, plus its one of a kind. Oh well....watch it work when its placed somewhere else.
