Pony Express (roller coaster)

Pony Express is a steel motorbike roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.

Its "out-and-back" course shows riders views of Boot Hill and Calico River Rapids, two popular attractions also located in Ghost Town.

[5] The ride lasts for 36 seconds and is made up of a 1,300 foot-long steel track that reaches speeds of up to 38 miles per hour and heights of up to 44 feet.

An automated restraint system secures the rider in their seat, pressing against his/her lower back, allowing the upper body to move fairly freely.

[2] Unlike most coasters, the ride doesn't use potential energy attained from ascending a hill via chain lift.
