News & Notes:  The 1997 season brought the second Batman themed coaster to the park, Batman & Robin: The Chiller.    The dueling launched coasters debuted and only operated for a few day, then remained closed for the rest of the season due to problems with its LIM propulsion system. 

Looping Starship was relocated to the Boardwalk area, and was renamed Space Shuttle, and the Scrambler was moved to the Boardwalk, where it re-opened as Centrifuge G-Force.

A new "Sky Coaster" up-charge attraction known as Dare Devil Dive was added to the park on the former site of Shockwave.
