Just for those who don't read quest text like me the first time:
"... Mount a Rocketway Rat..."
When not mounted on a rat you move very slowly (takes about 3 minutes to get to the giant which is about 20 metres). It was frustrating, then I actually read the quest properly. D:
Quest
Azsharite Experiment Number Two
A World of Warcraft quest in Azshara. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Here's a MUST DO for anyone doing these quests at a higher level just for fun:
1) Talk to Greely and ask her to shrink you
2) Mount up your Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
3) ...
4) Profit
Although you and your Traveler's Tundra Mammoth will be shrunken super-small, the vendors who ride on the back of the mammoth with you are apparently unaffected and remain normal size.
It's absolutely hilarious to see these two full-sized 'toons riding around on the back of your super-shrunken mammoth.
If you approach him shrunken but unmounted, he'll just say "<Name>, have you changed your hair?"
Apparently he can't tell the difference. Everyone's pretty tiny to this guy.

What to do
Description
Okay, new plan. We'll SCARE it out of 'em! In my experience most large creatures are terrified of tiny ones - like rats. Hmm. This place is crawling with rats, but how do we coax them over to the giant? Hey! You don't mind having your cellular matrix broken down and reassembled do you? It's only painful while it's happening. I can shrink you down to rat-sized and you can ride one of these brutes over there like a horse. It's so crazy it's got to work! Speak with me when you're ready for shrinkage...
