History
The Road Runner Rollercoaster opened on 26 December 2000. The ride's opening forced the relocation of the Looney Tunes Musical Revue to a location in Main Street near the Movie Magic Special Effects Show. The ride cost AU$1.69 million.
Trains
Riders are seated in one of two themed trains. The trains are themed to Acme fireworks with Wile E. Coyote on the front and the Road Runner on the back. Each train features 8 cars which seat 2 people each. Riders are restrained by lap bars. These trains cater for approximately 1000 riders per hour.
Queue
Riders join the queue from the Kids' WB Fun Zone. The queue weaves its way under the lift hill before looping around an area within the ride's footprint.
Ride experience
After exiting the station, the train turns right and is taken up a friction wheel lift hill to a height of 13 metres (43 ft). A small drop follows the lift hill that then leads into two downward helices. The train then dips diagonally under the lift hill before elevating and approaching the back end of the station and passing over top. The train then runs back parallel with the lift hill before entering two separate helices and entering the brake run. The train then returns to the station where riders dismount and exit back into the Kids' WB Fun Zone.
