Batman & Robin: The Chiller
Linear Induction Motors (LIM) launched trains through a mock-up of the observatory shown in the "Batman and Robin" film, the fourth Batman movie from Warner Bros. The 1997 DC Comics movie starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, and Uma Thurman. The name of the ride, the Batman and Robin symbols on the Top Hat tower, and the observatory were the only real references to the movie or the comic book characters as the coaster really lacked any significant theming.
The "Batman and Robin" movie was a commercial flop and received much derision from critics and fans. It holds the record for the lowest grossing Batman movie and has made it to several lists of the worst movies ever made.
