A California man filed a lawsuit against Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington after experiencing smoke inhalation due to a malfunction on the Mr. Freeze ride in April 2022. The rollercoaster came to a sudden stop in a dark tunnel, leaving the riders helpless.
The Mr. Freeze ride launches passengers at 70 mph, going both forward and backward on the track before entering a dark tunnel ahead of the exit.
While Spitzig was riding, the rollercoaster came to a stop in the tunnel as the ride malfunctioned, and “there was nothing the riders could do,” the suit says. Seat restraints remained locked, leaving riders unable to get out as smoke began filling the tunnel.The lawsuit references a 911 call between a woman on the ride and a dispatcher while the riders were in the tunnel. The call lasted about 10 minutes, the lawsuit states.
The length of the call reflects the failure of employees to help riders in a timely manner, exacerbating their injuries and trauma, the lawsuit argues. Riders eventually were helped off the ride, and Spitzig was among seven people taken to the hospital for injuries including smoke inhalation, the lawsuit says.that all guests and employees exited the ride “in minutes” and that employees put out the fire using portable extinguishers before firefighters arrived.The lawsuit also alleges Six Flags “failed to properly inspect, repair and maintain” the ride before the incident occurred, which “created an unreasonably dangerous condition.
A Six Flags Entertainment Corporation spokesperson declined to comment Tuesday, referencing pending litigation.
