Chaos was Opryland's only indoor coaster. It went through several changes in terms of theming inside over the years, but remained one of the best and most popular attractions Opryland ever had. I never really cared for the last set of changes to it (reactor scenes) as I didn't feel they measured up to the original 3-d enhanced effects. Overall this was a GREAT coaster as it was fun and very smooth riding. That's a trait not many coasters anymore can claim. Actor Cory Feldman was there opening day signing autographs.

Here are 4 shots from Jimmy Wall.
These are some great shots of the testing of the MK 700. From what I've learned, the building and track belong to Chaos,
but the trains are from Chaos's sister ride Revolution which you can see below. My thanks to Jimmy for sharing these.
Here's shots from Chaos's only sister ride. It's name is Revolution at Bobbejaanland in Belguim.
Pictures are from Benoît De Groote and Kenneth Colpaert. My thanks to both of them for submitting these shots. You can

**Note** The background sound of the ride starting up is from my friend Harrie's website www.revocoasters.com . My
BIG thanks to him for allowing to use this sound to bring yet another memory to life. The sound is from Chaos' sister ride
Revolution which is virtually identical to Chaos in operation.
