Six Flags Great Adventure Rollercoaster Introduction: Part 12

Once again next up is one of the slower rollercoaster of the park… Or actually the slowest of them all. Built in 1999, Road Runner Railway is a slow family coaster designed mostly for children, so adults are not allowed to ride unless they’re accompanied by a child less than 54 inches tall. So if I or any of my friends want to ride it, we’ll have to lure a shorty to accompany us, perhaps with some treats :D! The end result will probably lead to the park jail for at least questioning, so I don’t recommend it unless one of us wants to get to know the US justice system up close and personal :D!

Road Runner Railway is such a low intensity ride, that info on its top speed isn’t available, but fortunately some other statistics can be found. It has the shortest train of all the rollercoasters in the park with only six cars. The train rises up to an astonishing height of ten feet and goes around the 280 feet long track twice in 40 seconds, whoop-di-doo. Still Road Runner Railway has been described as a particularly rough ride, especially for adults, which probably has something to do with its limited leg room. Anyways we’ll probably pass up on this ride, but hey, at least that’ll leave more time for other fun stuff! On the other hand, no on-ride video exists on YouTube or Google, so maybe that could be a suitable challenge for us :D?
