The steel coasters feature a linear induction motor (LIM) launch system that accelerate riders from 0–70 mph (0–113 km/h) in 3.8 seconds.

[4][5] The two installations are mirror images of one another and are themed to the famous Batman villain Mr.

Originally, they were themed after the 1997 film Batman & Robin prior to a conversion in 2012 to operate backward.

[7] Premier Rides was hired to build a new shuttle coaster that would be powered by a linear induction motor (LIM).

Freeze would be the second highest attraction at Six Flags Over Texas, with the tallest being the park's Oil Derrick observation tower.

[7] Just a month later in January 1997, it was confirmed that Six Flags St. Louis would be receiving a mirror clone of the ride.

[10] During testing, the LIM motors had issues with overheating and Six Flags officials could not provide the full thrust necessary to operate the ride consistently at high speeds.

Freeze used over-the-shoulder restraints (commonly called OTSRs), which were replaced with individual ratcheting lap bars in 2002 at both locations.

[4][5] In June 2006, all Premier Rides' LIM roller coasters were closed as they underwent emergency inspection after an accident on the now-defunct Batman & Robin: The Chiller where a wheel fell off on the lowest part of the track.

Freeze is able to simultaneously operate two five-car (20 passengers total) trains because of an innovative sliding platform in the station.

These trains are launched by 116 linear induction motors that help them achieve a top speed of 70 mph (110 km/h) in 3.8 seconds.

The main launch requires 2.4 megawatts (5,000 amps x 480 volts) of electric power for three seconds to propel a single train.

[13] Based on the 1997 film Batman & Robin, riders enter an old, abandoned ice cream factory that has now become the hideout of Mr.

Inside the factory, guests make a left turn and start on the lower level, where they approach some paths.

This area features switchbacks that run next to the Six Flags & Texas Railroad train tracks.

After making a left turn, guests walk down a long pathway where they can get views of the ride.

As the train climbs this spike and slows, it is gently pushed up almost all the way to the top by another set of LIMs.

Freeze opened in 1998, it was the fourth tallest, longest and second fastest shuttle coaster.

In 2000, the records were taken by Speed – The Ride at the NASCAR Café at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[31][32] On April 10, 2022, about 15 minutes before the park's closure for the night, an electrical motor in the launch track had malfunctioned and caught fire on the Texas version of the ride.
