This ride is just too popular and with recent paintwork being done in 2021 to transform it back to its original light blue color, it makes absolutely no sense at all to close this roller coaster permanently.
MR. FREEZE opened at Six Flags Over Texas in 1998 and it was in 2012 that the trains were reversed meaning the ride now launches backwards, hence the Reverse Blast name. We assume that Six Flags has now made the decision to turn the ride back to its original form which first debuted in 1998.
We will keep you posted on this as further news is announced but for now if you fancy a last ride on MR FREEZE: Reverse Blast you need to head to Six Flags Over Texas by September 11. Do you want MR FREEZE: Reverse Blast to return to its original form? Let us know by voting in our poll below.
