Percy the Small Engine is a small steel roller coaster made by Bradley and Kaye that opened in 1971. The coaster is located in the Bugs Bunny World area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.
Percy the Small Engine originally was located at Beverly Park in the 1940s before coming to Magic Mountain in 1971. The ride was named Clown Coaster from 1971 to 1984, Wile E. Coyote Coaster from 1985 to 1998, Goliath Jr. from 2001 to 2007, and Percy the Small Engine since 2008.
Percy the Small Engine was rebuilt and customized to look like the Goliath from the former Wile E. Coyote Coaster. The old supports were replaced with supports that resembled those found on the Goliath. The trains were rebuilt from the chassis up. And it was repainted with Goliath's color scheme.
