History
The coaster first ran at Six Flags New Orleans as Road Runner's Express. It was moved to Magic Mountain and opened there on May 28, 2011. Since June 2026 it has been part of the Road Runner Ridge section of Looney Tunes Land, which replaced the park's Bugs Bunny World.
The ride is 28 feet tall with 679 feet of track and reaches up to 21 mph on a winding desert-themed course with a small drop. RCDB gives a ride time of 44 seconds. A booster-wheel lift raises its single eight-car train, which seats 16. The park lists a minimum rider height of 36 inches.
