Road Runner Rollercoaster, Steel roller coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World, Gold Coast, Australia.
Road Runner Rollercoaster is a steel coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The track runs through gentle turns, helices, and dips, designed for young riders and families.
The coaster opened on December 26, 2000, as a Vekoma Junior model, following a similar installation at the German Warner Bros. Movie World in 1996. It was part of a planned rollout of this ride type into the Australian market.
The cars are styled as ACME fireworks rockets, with Wile E. Coyote at the front and Road Runner at the back. Fans of the old cartoons will recognize the familiar chase played out on rails.
Children need to be at least 100 cm (39 in) tall to ride. Queues tend to be shorter early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
Instead of the traditional chain lift, the ride uses a friction wheel system to bring the train up to its starting height. This makes the ascent noticeably smoother than on most comparable rides.
