Judge Roy Scream is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. It opened in 1980 and is named after Judge Roy Bean, a Texas justice of the peace and saloon owner. It was the park's first wooden coaster, and the park now calls it its only fully wooden roller coaster. RCDB credits the design to Don Rosser and William Cobb, and the park names Marvin M. Black Co. as the builder.
The ride climbs a 71-foot chain lift hill, drops 65 feet and reaches 45 mph. Its 2,670 feet of track have no inversions, and RCDB gives a ride time of 1 minute 30 seconds. Trains have four cars, each seating two riders across in three rows, for 24 riders per train.
The park describes its rough, old-school ride as part of the thrill. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
