Both Mr. Freeze Coasters to Run Backwards

Mr. Freeze at both Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags over Texas will run backwards this year. Six Flags announced that the trains of both coasters would be reverse to provide a totally new experience:

“The new reverse launch begins with an upward vertical climb into the sky staring face forward to the ground. Travel backwards through a 190-foot tunnel, into a 180-degree inversion before climbing more than 200 feet in the air where you’ll find yourself suspended, dangling in the air. Then dive straight down back to earth face-down!”

Luckily, the rest of the “ride experience,” mainly the queue, will remain untouched:

“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 you 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.”

Below is a video of the reversed coaster:
