I don't really have fond memories of the park... When I was there I had to watch them tearing down chiller.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Yeah, the Chiller thing really sucks as it was an awesome ride, but you have to realize how much effort they put into that ride. They knew it had 1+ hour lines consistently when open, but it was just too much of a pain. Much as I hate to see it go, I completely understand.

Random little facts: A friend I met in college ended up working at GAdv the summer after I met him. He was the one who suggested slowing the end of the lift on El Toro, and he was the last to launch Chiller when they were testing it. He really is a nice guy, but in this case...what a jerk! haha

rcking04, I'm saying Chang wouldn't be all that unique, because most of what it does can be found on Bizarro, with almost difference at all besides the standing train. First loop, dive loop, and corks are all almost exactly the same in shaping and pacing, meaning Chang wouldn't add all that much variety other than the difference in "seating" configuration.

I vote send it to SFA (where I can ride it anyways...and a park that needs a good quality looping ride...or just another good quality ride in general lol). Then, GAdv, a park that can afford to get a really expensive ride, can get themselves an Intamin giga that people will really love and come to ride. Everybody's happy (especially me!). lol
