Road Runner Express was a family roller coaster at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Aurora, Ohio. It operated from 2000 to 2007.

History[]

Road Runner Express opened in 2000, and was one of three identical coasters installed in Six Flags parks that year. The other two are at Six Flags New England and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

In March 2004, Six Flags sold Geauga Lake (then named Six Flags Worlds of Adventure) to Cedar Fair for $145 million. Any references to Looney Tunes and DC Comics characters had to be removed from the park before opening day. This change affected several rides and attractions, including Roadrunner Express. Cedar Fair renamed the coaster to Beaver Land Mine Ride.

On September 21, 2007, Cedar Fair announced that Geauga Lake would no longer operate as a traditional amusement park, and instead become solely a waterpark, Wildwater Kingdom. As a result, September 16, 2007 was the last day the ride would operate at Geauga Lake. With that announcement, the rides from the amusement park side began to be relocated to other theme parks.

In 2009, Beaver Land Mine Ride was relocated to Papea Parc in France, where it is still operating.
