Road Runner Railway has a single 6-car train, the shortest in the park. Each car seats two riders in a single row for a total of 12 riders. Because the track is so short, the train is sent through the circuit twice. Road Runner Railway's station is not divided into rows with an individual entrance gate for each row, as most coasters are. Instead, once guests pass the entrance gate, they may choose whichever seat they desire. There is no additional line for the front row.

The ride for this coaster tends to be rough; and can be uncomfortable for adults. Adults need to accompany children under 42 inches (1,100 mm) tall.
