Wile E. Coyote's Grand Canyon Blaster, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, United States.
Wile E. Coyote's Grand Canyon Blaster is a compact roller coaster in the Big Dipper style made by Chance Rides, standing 16 feet tall with a curved lift system powered by tires instead of chains. The track features small hills and turns surrounded by Looney Tunes theming throughout the ride experience.
The coaster opened in 2001 within the Bugs Bunny Boomtown section of the park. Its introduction reflected efforts to expand family-friendly options for younger guests.
The ride displays characters from Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons through props and scenes featuring Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Children recognize the colorful designs and funny moments they know from the animated series.
Riders between 36 and 54 inches tall can board with an adult companion, while solo riders must be at least 42 inches. The coaster sits in the Bugs Bunny Boomtown section, making it easy to locate when visiting other family attractions.
Adults taller than 54 inches cannot ride this coaster alone and must be accompanied by a child. This unusual rule makes the experience a fun family adventure rather than a typical solo thrill ride.
