History
Judge Roy Scream was built at a cost of $2.1 million and opened on March 1, 1980.[1]
In 1994, Judge Roy Scream was running backwards, initially for 10 weeks. However, due to high demand, it ran backwards for the remainder of the season.[2][3]

4 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 3 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train.
Etymology
The name Judge Roy Scream refers to Judge Roy Bean, as inferred by a sign in the queue line describing the 19th century Justice of the Peace, and of course the similarity of the two names. The top of the lift hill features a sign stating Appeal denied! to tie in with this theme.
