Located alongside Six Flags Over Texas' entrance lake, Judge Roy Scream is reached via a tunnel from the Goodtimes Square area. Named after 19th century Justice of the Peace Judge Roy Bean, it was the first wooden coaster to open at the park.

After climbing to the top of a 71-foot lift hill, riders plummet down a 65-foot drop, hitting a top speed of 53 miles per hour. The remainder of the circuit is an out-and-back design, featuring a number of small drops.
