The Backyardigans: Mission To Mars is a Vekoma roller coaster located at Movie Park Germany in Bottrop, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The ride is themed after the television series The Backyardigans from Nickelodeon. It is part of the Nickland section of the park.
The attraction opened with Warner Bros. Movie World Germany as Coyote und Roadrunner's Actherbahn in 1996, and rebranded as the Rocket Rider Rollercoaster in 2005 following the park's rebranding prior to its 2008 retheme.
