Eureka, MO - The Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis has reopened after stalling at a low point in the track late last week. The park stated that due to a brief power surge, the train failed to gain enough speed to make it all the way through the course.

The ride consists of a backwards launch into a “top hat” inversion followed by an overbanked turn before going up a large spike and returning to the station with the train traveling forwards. The park says the train made it to the spike and started the return trip, but the train stalled in the low point between the “top hat” and the overbanked turn.

Officials said that in a case such as this, the coaster is designed to valley where it did so that riders may be evacuated safely using standard safety equipment without needing to go high off the ground. The safety systems worked perfectly, and all guests were safely evacuated from the ride in a little over fifteen minutes. No guests were put in danger during this malfunction, and the park has also stated that this is not an uncommon issue, which is why they planned for it.

The train has since been disassembled from the low point of the track, and reassembled back in the station. The park has conducted standard safety checks to ensure the ride is operating properly, and has safely re-opened the ride to it guests. Six Flags Over Texas also has a Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast coaster, but it has yet to experience any recent issues such as this.
