Opening Delays, Restraint Upgrades

Mr. Freeze was originally scheduled to open for the 1997 season with the release of the Batman & Robin movie. Arnold Schwarzenneger and George Clooney were even slated to be Mr. Freeze’s first riders. Unfortunately, do to issues with the LIM launch system, Mr. Freeze did not open until the 1998 season. In 2002, the over-the-shoulder restraints were replaced with a lapbar/seatbelt restraint system, drastically improving the comfort of riders.

Mr. Freeze’s main entrance takes guests into Snowy’s Cones factory.

Mr. Freeze launches riders 0 to 70 miles per hour in a matter of seconds.

Mr. Freeze features two high-thrill inversions.

Rider Experience

Mr. Freeze was the first major addition to the park’s present-day Gotham City area. Riders are guided through an extensively-themed queue, featuring the interior of Snowy’s Cones factory. Once in the station, riders are greeted by an animatronic Mr. Freeze who looks to be “operating” the ride. Once boarded, train tables are transferred into the launch position. Riders are launched through a tunnel, traveling from 0 to 70 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds. Once reaching the 218-foot spike, riders are then launched back towards the ground backwards to finish the ride circuit in reverse.

Mr. Freeze travels both forwards and backwards during the ride cycle.

Mr. Freeze uses a table system in its station, allowing for two-train operations.

Mr. Freeze’s vertical spike stands 218 feet tall.

Mr. Freeze was the first attraction in the park’s Gotham City section.

Mr. Freeze lives in close proximity to the park’s Batman: The Ride coaster.

Mr. Freeze was repainted during the park’s 2021 season.

Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast Six Flags Over Texas

Looking in the Mirror, Reverse Blast

Mr. Freeze at Six Flags Over Texas isn't the only Mr. Freeze roller coaster in existence. Six Flags St. Louis, located in Eureka, Missouri, has a near-exact model of the ride. The Mr. Freeze at Six Flags St. Louis, however, is a mirrored version of the one at Six Flags Over Texas and does sport its own paint scheme.

From 2012 to 2022, both Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Over Texas decided to add a new twist to their Mr. Freeze attractions by flipping the trains backwards. On May 12, 2012, with the help of Vanilla Ice, Six Flags Over Texas officially opened Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast. In the fall of 2022, Six Flags Over Texas reverted Mr. Freeze back to its original forward-facing direction.
