Chance Chaos

[Josh73]

Hey fools,

I've been wanting to ride a Chance Chaos ever since I was 7 and I saw it on RCT3. They look pretty fun, and I am just wondering are they? And are there any left in existance in North America?

Thanks in advance!

I pretty sure there is some left, but( I think) most parks removed them after an incident at Michigan's Adventure.

Ya an accident did happen... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidents_ ... Fair_parks
(Go down to Michigan's Adventure)

I was lucky enough to get on the one at lightwater, It was awesome - if you like topscans, you'd love it!

There's one in Vegas.

And one somewhere in California cause that's where I rode one.

Cedar Point kept theirs for ageesss, dunno if it's still there. Google it.

They're alright. I quite like them, but, they're nothing overly special. Newer rides are loads better, loads.

And um, don't say fools again. This isn't the A-Team.

Doesn't look like it's entirely the ride's fault...

An investigation put the blame on both poor maintenance which allowed bolts to loosen, twist, and break, and on structural fatigue fractures that were discovered afterward.

The one in California is at Belmont Park in San Diego.

Or, at least it was in 2009...

There's still a photo of the Chaos on the site, and it's a bit of a dump, so I can't see them spiting it anytime soon.

The Points is gone as of 2010 I believe? It was bomb and awesome. Reminded me of a Zipper and a Casino mix. Hurt like a bitch though cause I am large tho...

^ I believe it wasnt there when I went in March of this year...then again, I wasnt looking for it.

Overall, your best bet would be Adventuredome in Vegas.

Switching between the hideouts'...

The one at Belmont was definitely there (but down on the day I went) in August of last year.

Cedar Points was removed last year due to awful load times, downtime, and the availability of parts.

They are fun, but I still like power surges WAY better.

 

[Ben]

Belmont's isn't on the ride list or anything other than the main page, so I'm guessing it has been spited.

Meh.

So, yeah, Vegas then. Perfect place for a twelve year old.

 

[Josh73]

I probably never will go to Vegas, but is there any other worthwhile rides there?

 

[Hyde]

^ And you call yourself a roller coaster fan. :roll:

Manhattan Express, Stratosphere Tower rides, Circus Circus' Adventuredome, etc.

 

[Josh73]

I mean in the Adventuredome. I know about Strotosphere, and Manhattan Express, don't get me wrong. But at Adventuredome

^^ Outside of bens intelligent post, I actually suggest not going there unless you honestly feel like being mobbed by screaming mexican kids in the dome, and the "clappers" on every fuccking streetcorner.

I meant had anyone been, and liked it, thank you very much, Ben.
