       For Six Flags twentieth season a traditional wooden roller coaster, the Judge Roy Scream \u201cAwe West of the Pecos\u201d, was installed next to entry Lake on property south of Good Times Square. This property had previously been totally outside of the park proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       To create the Judge Roy Scream the park hired William \u201cBill\u201d Cobb, a man who had practically a legend in his own time and his firm William Cobb & Associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Since the ride is outside of what had always been the park proper, it is only accessible through a tunnel which travels under the park\u2019s entry driveway. The eight acre ride runs parallel to the large lake located outside the front gate. It was billed as the \u201cbiggest addition\u201d in the park\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The ride handles two trains of four cars each, for a total of 24 riders per train. The trains travel up to 53 mph. The ride\u2019s main lift is 65 feet, with a 50 degree, 60 foot drop. The trains travel a total of 2500 feet of track in approximately two minutes. The ride is designed to handle 1,200 passengers an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       For a time in 1994, some variety was created by turning the trains around, allowing the riders to ride backwards as they traveled around the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While not as large as its sister \u201cscream\u201d coasters at Georgia and Mid-America, the Judge Roy Scream is highly popular and brought the park\u2019s operating coaster count to five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
