It's Batman movie
magic chilled to perfection! Take the ride of a lifetime at spine-chilling
speeds on the tallest, fastest, most technologically advanced roller coaster in
Texas. Take on the Dynamic Duo's arch rival, Mr. Freeze, in a thrilling and
chilling adventure. The ride will launch Guests through a 190-foot tunnel,
reaching speeds of 70 mph in 3.78 seconds, to create a
"cold-fashioned" thrill. Powered by unique, linear induction motors,
Guests are sent streaking out of the tunnel and into a totally vertical climb,
eventually twisting until the car is completely upside down. Frozen with
excitement, Guests then plummet back to Earth and into a wraparound turn before
eventually rocketing 218 breath-taking feet, straight up. Mr. Freeze gets his
revenge by launching his victims through the entire coaster again - in reverse!
It's a perfect 10... below zero!

Technology:
The ride's linear induction
technology allows the design of a roller coaster that does not contain the
traditional "lift hill." With this state-of-the-art technology,
instantaneous speed can be engineered by creating a system of magnetic waves
that launch the vehicle forward (or backward). There are 228 linear induction
motors (LIMs) imbedded in the track to create the magnetic waves necessary to
propel the coaster car at speeds up to 70mph. These motors unleash 5,000
horsepower, more powerful than a pair of dragsters. This technology is similar
to that used in other highly scientific processes and is being studies by the
U.S. Navy as a means to propel jets from aircraft carriers. NASA also is
studying the technology as a new way to propel the space shuttle.
