Road Runner Express

Road Runner Express is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain with red and black track spanning 679 feet. The ride features gentle curves and no inversions, designed to accommodate families and younger riders comfortably.

The ride began as Rex's Rail Runner at Jazzland New Orleans in 2000 and moved to Six Flags New Orleans in 2002. After Hurricane Katrina, the coaster was relocated to its current home at Magic Mountain.

The ride features characters and elements from Warner Bros Looney Tunes throughout its station and track, with Road Runner and Wile E Coyote themes creating a playful atmosphere. These cartoon touches make the experience fun for families and younger guests.

Riders must be at least 36 inches tall to experience this coaster. The journey lasts around 44 seconds with speeds reaching 21 miles per hour, making it a quick and manageable ride for families.

This coaster uses drive tires on the lift hill instead of a traditional chain mechanism. The system carries 16 passengers through the course in eight two-person cars, making it an interesting engineering choice for this family-friendly ride.
