Pony Express


Knott's Berry Farm

The first Zamperla Motocoaster to be built in the United States. Knott's Pony Express roller coaster has two 16-passenger trains that have a custom theme to resemble a team of horses. Riding horseback, passengers will saddle up to be launched from zero to 40 mph in just three seconds. The trains then ascend a banked turn rising to 47 feet before braving a series of 60-degree banked turns, camel backs, low-to-the-ground maneuvers steep banks. The Pony Express roller coaster is being added to the Ghost Town section of Knott's Berry Farm and will cover a 381-meter "out and back" course that will take you past Boot Hill and Big Foot Rapids.
