I was at Great Adventure 4 times between the 1997 and 1999 seasons. I remember when the Chiller opened, both sides were launched at the same time.

After scouring Google, I was only able to find the following sources covering this ride in some detail beyond a passing mention:
If there are any others you know about, post them here. In the next few days, I'll be removing anything that's unsourced and cleaning up the article. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 19:16, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
The recent changes here are a mix of unsourced and poorly sourced claims. Some of these rely on YouTube or online forums, and others are simply unsourced. The phrasing used is also unencyclopedic. This is a request to discuss the proposed change by the IP that keeps inserting these problematic claims. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 14:41, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
Ultimately, the ride became too expensive and problematic to maintain, and another incident in June 2007 sealed its fate. The park permanently closed the ride following the incident and began demolition in October 2007."This statement is properly sourced, but you removed it without explanation. You then inserted some details that rely on a website chat forum and greatadventurehistory.com, both of which are not reliable sources.
The intention was to open the Batman side of the coaster with the remaining 4 un-damaged cars from the Robin side once they were brought back to operating capacity."There is no source for this cited in the article.
The following year, the remaining foundation caps under the observatory and the former exit ramp were removed."There is no source for this cited in the article.
Removal was limited by the park's operating hours"There is no source for this cited in the article.
Curiously, the iconic emblem of the Batman and Robin logo featured on the front of the ride's main elements lives on. It is erected at the farm formerly used as a storage lot for the coaster following its removal."Curiously? This is the "unencyclopedic" language I was talking about that you seem to be defending. Even if this is true, it requires a source. If no one is writing about it, then we shouldn't be either.
...issues constantly made themselves present"This is poor grammar structure. Grates very harsh on the ears. Another example of what I'm talking about.
The Chiller faced excessive amounts of downtime due to a number of reoccurring issues". Says the same thing in fewer words.
This is a niche subject, and you are not going to find many "scholarly" sources ... A photo may be the best source we have."
