The roller coaster Road Runner Express is located in Bugs Bunny World, and was designed as a family coaster, giving the 8- to 12-year-old “tween” crowd a chance to experience pint-sized thrills. The ride travels up a 28-foot lift hill and races around a 368-foot track at speeds reaching 20 mph.
The grand opening comes as the theme park is gearing up for its 40th anniversary celebration with the opening of the roller coaster Green Lantern: First Flight in June, along with the addition of a number of other new shows and performances.
“This 40th season is really going to be one of the most memorable in our history,” Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President Bonnie Rabjohn said. A group of 10 kids from the Boys & Girls Club of SCV were among the first to experience the coaster themed around cartoon character Wile E. Coyote and his battle to catch Road Runner.
“It was good,” 10-year-old Joana Gil said, with a smile. “It was fast. It was awesome!” And while Joana isn’t tall enough to ride roller coasters like Goliath and Viper, she is looking forward to the day when she’s ready. “I can take them,” she said.
