Chaos was an enclosed steel roller coaster at Opryland USA in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Built by Vekoma, it opened on March 25, 1989 at a cost of $7,000,000 USD. The ride used numerous audio and visual effects, supplied by New York-based R/Greenberg Associates, to enhance the experience.[2][3]
History
Chaos opened on March 25, 1989. It was located in the Grizzly River Country area adjacant to Grizzly River Rampage.
After the closure of Opryland USA in 1997, many of the park's rides, including Chaos, were purchased by Six Flags (then known as Premier Parks) and placed at the site of Old Indiana Fun-n-Water Park in Thorntown, Indiana, USA, a property Six Flags planned to develop.[4] In July 2002, the property was sold off with most of the rides scrapped and removed from the site in 2003, but a deal allowed Six Flags to keep both Chaos and Screamin' Delta Demon on the property until 2006 so that Six Flags would relocate them to other properties.
In early 2006, the train from Chaos (which was the longest in the world) was offered for sale. By this time, the track had been scrapped around April 2005.
