Getting off the history of Mr. Freeze for a moment I knew we had my sister-in-law Beth hooked on being a coaster enthusiast when she started taking as many pictures of Mr. Freeze as I was during the behind the scenes tour.

The four shuttle coasters that Premier Rides built for 1997 were the two Mr. Freeze's and the twin tracked Batman & Robin: The Chiller at Six Flags Great Adventure.

The Chiller was the only of the Premier Rides shuttle coasters that opened in 1997. It opened briefly and then went down when problems emerged. Those coasters were not long for the world as after reliably opening in 1998 they lasted barely a decade with long down times, massive modifications to the track and several malfunctions that led to Six Flags completely removing the coaster in 2007. It has been sold to a park in Brazil but as of 2015 is has yet to be erected.

The two Mr. Freeze coasters on the other hand have been a complete success that have really gotten better with age mostly do to Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Over Texas not giving up on these rides.

The first modification that Six Flags did to Mr. Freeze turned what was a coaster that was full of head banging and pain into a smooth and extremely fun ride. That was removing the over the shoulder restraints and replacing them with lap bars. That happened in 2002 and since then Mr. Freeze has been giving his nemesis Batman the run for his money for which one is the best coaster in the park.
