There is a track that runs around the Goblin areas of Azshara. You can talk to a goblin at one of four towers along this track for quick travel around the area via rocket, and this Achievement is earned by riding from one end to the other. Tested this on the PTR.

Simply go from one end to the other. South Terminus to North, or the other way around. It's the places where you can see the little red boot with wings indicating a flight path.

Walk/take rocket to here (If you walk, walk on the track cus otherwise u have to run throw cliffs and so on, btw were im located on that map is were you take the first rocket)

When ur there talk to the goblin and choose this one

After done that the rocket will take u through the whole track and you will get the achievement

Well sems that I got it from southern terminus to northern one and it is not broken. I was simply too eager to get it and was jumping off the rocket at the platform. If you stay on the rocket from southern to northern terminus **UNTIL IT LANDS ON THE GROUND** you will get the achievement =)

So what is Alliance version of this achievment? (Just asking, because I will change fractions after Cata...)

Comment by omnom

Here's how to do this achievement:

Go to the tower at ~66, 20. You can use an elevator on the side of the tower to get up there.
Talk to Bilgewater Rocket-jockey next to the goblin selling Engineering Supplies
Pick the 4th choice: "Southern Rocketway Terminus, please."
Wait until the rocket has taken you to ~51, 75. Once you land, you'll get the achievement.

Or if you're at the southern side of Azshara, talk to Bilgewater Rocket-jockey and pick the 4th choice, "Northern Rocketway Terminus, please."
Note: I didn't get a chance to try it from south to north but since the achievement doesn't specify that you should go to either south or north, I'm assuming you get the achievement both ways.

This was definitely enjoyable to do. If Blizz put this in during vanilla WoW, I probably would have enjoyed questing in this zone a lot more.

Comment by Neuf

Make sure you're going to the Northern Terminus. NOT the Northern Exchange.

Comment by xmanii

That was a blast! Goblin engineering at it's finest! Especially when you take the corners.

Comment by JoKyR

With so many people posting that they got the achievement from going one direction, but not the other, I'm guessing that, perhaps, you only get the achievement by going the entire track in both directions.

Me, I started at the Orgrimmar Exchange, went to the Southern Terminus, then to the Northern Terminus, and then back to the Southern Terminus before I got this acheivement.

Comment by Murcia

I went from Southern Terminus to Northern and I got credit. Just stay on the rocket until it kicks you off of it, don't jump off yourself. Make sure you go from Terminus to Terminus. And hold on tight!

Comment by kcz421

Worked only from northern to southern for me. Waited til it was about to crash on the ground and was put back on the platform and waited a couple of seconds.

Did try southern to northern, waited, didn't get it.

what category is this in?

Comment by Krusader

Hello, you fool, I love you

Comment by LFheals09

really fun achievement.
Ride it from south to north didn't get achievement, but worth taking the ride back again lol.

Comment by 642053

Gotta fly from north to south for it to register.

Comment by 758177

Didn't get this going from north to south, but immediately after when doing south to north. Maybe you have to do both?

Comment by Mydge

Bugged for me South to North. Worked fine North to South.

However, I think that you should only get the achievement for N-S, as this is clearly the super-fun-happy-slide version of it! XD

Comment by 727068

There seems to be a issue with which direction you take but when I took it starting North to South the first time I didn't get credit. I took it again from South to North and got it.

Comment by ShadowHunter7

Ride the rocket, play "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts and you're all set.

Comment by 773508

I just got it going from South to North. I didn't get it right away. But as soon as I stepped near the NPC's there they said, "Welcome to the Northern Rocketway Terminus! You probably took a wrong turn, but we're happy to have you anyway!" Then I got the achiev. Hope this helps.

Comment by Talvias

When goblins rule Azeroth, this is what transportation is gonna be like. None of those old fashioned wind riders.

Comment by LatinLegend

To play it safe, just go both ways. It did not work for me going North to South. I simply talked to the NPC at the south tower & went back to the north. Once I got off of the rocket, I took a few steps forward & the achievement triggered.

Comment by r8dj

This achievement still appears to be buggy or you must ride the circuit to both termini. Going from south terminus to north did not work for me, but the achievement registered on the return trip.

Comment by 597835

Worked for me - I rode both ways South to North Tenamus, then right back from the North Tenamus to the South Tenamus. After it dismounted me the ach took about 3 secs to pop up

Comment by Yurpally

I did the south to north ride and when he hopped off the end I got the achieve just fine right away.....

Comment by 692839

Just go north to south trust me. Its the way to go folks. Obviously South to north has some problems sometimes... who knows. Jam to some music/alt tab to wowhead and enjoy the ride. :]

Comment by bleakraven

Me and my friends take bets and make rocket races, we all jump on a rocket at the same time and hope ours is the one that arrives first :P

Comment by 805656

Same story today, South to North didn't work, rode it from North to South for the achievement. Fun ride might as well do it twice.

Comment by helmates

Likewise, I tried South Terminus to North on my lvl 85 Paladin and got no Achievement. I promptly turned around and went from North Terminus to South and got the Achievement, but there was about a 4 second delay in the achi popping up.

I guess there is something going on inthe background which might occasionally mess up? Just a guess.

Comment by 810957

gone both ways several times. no achievement :(

Comment by 813268

not sure how relevant this is to most people but the jockeys are red for me. i can't talk to them i just wind up auto attacking. pretty sure this may have something to do with me being hated by various goblin factions since attempting the insane title requirements. but i haven't done any questing out here either. =/

Comment by 798203

LIke wise with many other people that have posted. I did not receive the achievement for riding it south -> north but did receive it when I went back going north -> south

I would strongly advise just going north to south and not bother attempting south to north.

Comment by 785496

I went the south to north and I got it the first time. I did have to wait for the rocket to crash before it actually gave me credit. Maybe you can't move until after it crashes?

Comment by gizmohawk69

Notice that the rocket is targetable... it's name is Redhound Projectile Transit. Obvious play on the Greyhound buses.

Comment by Damonra

I took it on my goblin rogue from the Southern Terminas to the Northern one, then had to walk a few feet to get the achievement. It's one helluva long ride. No wonder they made it an achievement.

If you're going to do this, make sure you're going to the Terminus, not the Exchange.

Comment by Neutralis

I had fun with this one. Went from South to North got to the platform and waited until it kicked me off. Then I walked 2 steps and got the achievement. I should've recorded it. lol

Comment by 974267

4/8/2012 -- I went from the Southern Rocketway Terminus to the Northern Rocketway Terminus and got the achievement. I think the people that were having trouble with the Southern way were selecting Northern Exchange instead of Terminus. Make sure you read the options before you click.

Comment by 973188

And no, when you earn it you still have your virginity.

Comment by nsonger

Am I the only one who actually enjoys going from South Terminus to North Terminus, then going from North to South and doing that over and over again?
