Get ready for some fun thrillseekers. Six Flags Over Texas is just about ready to debut the next generation of cool thrills with an all-new ride experience, Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast. Launching in spring 2012, the coolest coaster on the planet is even cooler -- in reverse!
Yes, it's a new spin on an existing ride and it's sure to be a rush. Brave riders will travel backwards through a 190-foot tunnel, into a 180-degree inversion before climbing more than 200-feet in the air where they will find themselves suspended, dangling in the air, before repeating the entire chilling experience.
You lost me at the dangling in the air part. Oh sure it's a fun twist on the ride that's guaranteed to thrill riders. I may have to claim that I'm not tall enough for this ride. I'm five foot, five inches. Ok, I'll start looking for another excuse.
Villain of Chillin
The ride will maintain the original Mr. Freeze theme, patterned after Batman’s cold-hearted arch rival in the DC Comics Batman series. The adventure begins with a chilling walk through “Snowy’s Cones,” an old abandoned ice cream warehouse that secretly doubles as the favorite hideout of this “Villain of Chillin.” By the time riders discover that “Snowy’s Cones” isn’t an ordinary ice cream factory, it’s too late! Mr. Freeze is behind the controls of his iciest revenge—the coolest coaster on the planet. Riders strap into one of the 20-passenger seats and take off on the reverse ride-of-a-lifetime, covering nearly 1,500-feet of track at spine-chilling speeds of up to 70 mph—making it the fastest reverse roller coaster ride in Texas.
Missouri will also debut the same ride.
Everyone loves it -- except chickens like me. "The reverse launch is sure to be dramatic," said Tim Baldwin, editor of RollerCoaster! Magazine. Of course the upward vertical climb and 200-foot dive straight down to earth will blow people away. But chickens like me will just have to watch everyone else have fun. I do volunteer to take photos of my friends on the ride. I just won't ride it.
But Mom, When Can We Ride It?!
The ride is scheduled to open to the public at both parks in May. Six Flags Over Texas opened for the 2012 season on Saturday, March 3. For more information on the parks, visit www.SixFlags.com. It was not available for Spring Break in 2012.
