Mr. Freeze reviews

Written by James Rao
Posted: June 23, 2010

The ride catapults guests from 0 to 70 mph in 3.8 seconds through a 190' tunnel and up into a 180 degree inversion that flips riders completely upside-down. This "Top Hat" element is followed by an over-banked turn and a vertical spike. As the train nears the top of this spike, it loses momentum and is pushed up the rest of the 200+ feet by another set of LIMs. The train then stops moving forward and falls backwards, running the entire course in reverse.

Duration of the ride is approximately 55 seconds.

Mr. Freeze is a Flashpass attraction.

Readers' rating:

My favorite roller coaster I've ever been on! It's short, but very fun and thrilling! - Ben Pope

Great ride -- Nice and smooth! Would have given a ten, except it is a bit short. Luckily we went on a weekday and the crowd was thin. - Mary Ann Nowak

A Premier Rides launched coaster that inverts and climbs, then does it all in reverse. One minute of adrenalin rush. It is a fun ride, but short and filled with unrealized potential. It is better than a Vekoma Boomerang, but still just a variation on that all-too-short theme. And while the track itself was recently painted and looks swell, the queuing area and the grounds are still dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Six Flags really needs to hire a grounds crew. - James Rao

This is one of my favorite LIM launch coasters in the world. Mr. Freeze launches you to 71mph in about 5 seconds. The overall comfort level in this ride is decent. The track comfortable is smooth but the seats still are very uncomfortable especially for taller people. The backwards portion features the best backwards motion in any roller coaster I have ever rode on including rivaling Revenge of the Mummy and Expedition Everest. The launch isn't quite as exciting as the Incredible Hulk Coaster but is quite up there with it. My favorite coaster at Six Flags St. Louis. - Jason Campbell
