MR. FREEZE has some terribly fun plans for you. Using cutting edge electromagnetic technology, you’ll be launched from the station, hitting 0-70 miles per hour in a mind-crunching 3.8 seconds! And as the name of this ride indicates, you’ll be doing it in reverse. You’ll slam out of the station at 70 miles per hour, backwards!

You’ll immediately be shot into a 150-foot “top hat” loop. That means while you’re hurtling up and down the 90 degree slopes of this loop, backwards, your train will twist around the track as you flip, remaining upright the whole time. Then you’re immediately hustled right into a 120-degree overbanked turn, a big glorious arch as wide as the sky. And FREEZE has saved the best element for last: a ridiculously fast straight launch up a 218-foot tower, still riding backwards, which means you’ll be watching the ground disappear as you blast to the top. Then you’ll see that ground rapidly approaching again as you free-fall straight down.

Feeling the chill yet? That’s just the gale force wind blasting you as you prepare to do this entire trio a second time – this time facing forward!
