Canyon Blaster opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California on May 27, 1999, as the centerpiece of a refreshed Bugs Bunny World. Built by E&F Miler Industries, the steel family coaster gave the park’s youngest guests their first real taste of a roller coaster, with a chain lift hill and a series of gentle bunny hills wrapped in Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote theming.
The ride measures about 416 feet of track, reaches a modest height of about 16 feet, and tops out around 10 mph, all without a single inversion. In June 2026, as part of the transformation of Bugs Bunny World into Looney Tunes Land, the ride was rethemed and renamed Canyon Cruiser, now sitting inside the newly built Camp Duck Amuck area themed to a High Sierra mountain lodge.

The Ride Experience
Riders board a single train of six cars, seated two across, for a total capacity of 12 guests per cycle. After a short chain lift, the train coasts through a compact layout of bunny hills and a helix, staying low and slow enough for first-time coaster riders while still delivering the rhythm and airtime feel of a full-size ride.
The minimum height to ride is 33 inches, with 36 inches required for unaccompanied riders, making it one of the most accessible coasters in the park for families with small children.
From Canyon Blaster to Canyon Cruiser
For over two decades, the coaster ran as Canyon Blaster inside Bugs Bunny World, themed around the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote’s Looney Tunes chases.
When Six Flags Magic Mountain overhauled the area into Looney Tunes Land for the 2026 season, the attraction was rebranded Canyon Cruiser and relocated thematically into Camp Duck Amuck, keeping the same track layout and E&F Miler Industries hardware guests have ridden since 1999.
