Six Flags Magic Mountain Announces 19th Coaster

Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is home to more roller coasters than any other park in the world, announced today details about its 19th coaster.

Yes, 19th.

The coaster, named Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers, will anchor the revitalized Bugs Bunny World, becoming the fourth roller coaster in the children’s area.

In a press release, the park revealed more details about the family-friendly coaster:

Sitting in miniature hot rod race cars, riders will enjoy an action-packed adventure with plenty of drops and thrills on a roadster-themed racetrack. Kids and parents can ride together as they take a sprint around the grand prix track. Joining 11 other rides and attractions, from flying airplanes to pint-sized trucks and trains, Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers will debut in early summer.

“We are excited to introduce Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers to our coaster collection at Six Flags Magic Mountain,” said Bonnie Rabjohn, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor park president. “This time it’s a fun adventure for our littlest guests. The mini-coasters in Bugs Bunny World are the perfect training ground for aspiring thrill seekers at the ‘Thrill Capital of the World.’ No doubt we will be creating lots of magical memories for them this year.”

According to RCDB, the coaster is a Zamperla “Family Gravity Coaster 80STD” model, copies of which are found at Six Flags America, Discovery Kingdom and Great Adventure.

It certainly isn’t the park’s biggest coaster. It stands just over 13 feet tall and is about 260 feet long. But it is a coaster.

Now we wait for the 20th.
