The Mr. Freeze Roller Coaster Behind the scenes tour during Daredevil Daze 2015 at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

Todd who is also known as "the mouth from the south" was having such a good time hanging out under Mr. Freeze that he was quiet for a little bit.

Here is Amanda "Coasterjedi" and her husband John posing for a picture.  They weren't posing for me but I figured I would snag a shot.

What goes up must come down with the assistance of a bunch of linear induction motors to give Mr. Freeze enough speed to get back around and into the station.

It was great getting to get close to the coaster and really see the expressions on the faces of everyone riding Mr. Freeze as they sped past.

Here is a nice photo to get all technical about.  The fins that stick out from the car slide through the linear induction motor and are pushed/pulled down the track from the electromagnets as they are fired off.  The LIM's are used to launch Mr. Freeze as well as being used as brakes to slow it when the train heads back into the station.
