It is one of the best rides there I think it’s fast but not to fast to make me throw up

It is my all time favorite ride at Knotts, maybe anywhere! Happiness is the rare chance that it is walk on and hubby humors you and rides it 7 times in a row with you.

My 3 men went in and rode it like champs me Im more of a coward so I stayed under it by the West entrance where all the smokers section was (found out the hard way) , now why would they put a bunch of benches for the chimneys but not a shady nice place for the ones waiting around that dont smoke? Anywho... It seemed all right except the more then 45 minute wait in line for a fast 3 minute trill.....

Pony Express is a very fun ride..Although it is a short ride it is definitely fun and a must in my opinion

Review №5

Was pretty fun! It feels less of a crazy thrill and more of an easy going, albeit fast, ride. You dont feel like your insides are jumbling up and youre gonna die, you feel more like oh cool, this is actually going pretty fast

Pony Express is one of the best rides at Knotts. It also is a good ride for someone to overcome their fear of roller coasters. I mean I know because it was the first roller coaster my friend (has fear of roller coasters) rode.. And she actually likes them now.

Fun novel roller coaster. You ride forward like a Japanese designed motor cycle. Not to fast, so kids can enjoy it. The ride is short but so are the lines.

Other than the Sidewinder, this was my 3 kids (ages 6, 7 & 8) first adrenaline filled rollercoaster ride. And they had a blast, literally! After the initial blast off they couldnt stop laughing saying how scary and fun it was. My 6 year old, in kindergarten told me, Dad, I almost cried, can we ride it again?. That was enough for me to know that they enjoyed this ride.

Its different than any other ride Ive ever been on. Love that it makes you sit like youre actually riding a horse. I just wish it lasted longer..

Short and sweet. This ride launches you fast through quick turns. Theres also a photo op.

This ride is one of the worst rollercoasters I have been on in my life. I had more fun on Timberine Twister.

Review №17

A short ride with a horse theme. Riders mount the carts more like a motorcycle instead of a regular seat. Theres no loops or inversions and the ride goes pretty fast. Line usually lasts 20 minutes average.

Review №18

The kids always have fun on this ride! There is always a line but it is a fast ride so the thrill seekers know to come to this ride. If you have a back or neck problem you might not enjoy this ride because of the position you have to ride in. It isnt too jerking but you ride bending over the horse with a bar that has a cushion bracing your back. The ride is over quite quickly so be prepared. There are photos taken and they are usually quite hilarious to view. We go everytime we are at the park. We are season ticket holders so we have been several times. Have fun and enjoy the ride

Wanna know what this reminds me of?The old Soapbox Racers ride from yesteryears.Attending Knotts Scary Farm, I tried my best to fit in as many mazes & rides I possibly could. Pony Express was one ride that I havent been on. It seemed interesting enough. A coaster with seats shaped like horses, with riders leaning forward, clutching handlebars to mimic reins on a horse, and where back & leg supports lock into place to keep the riders secure.At a standstill, the coaster shoots off, going through various banked turns providing those lateral Gs. The ride had good speed throughout the brief, though memorable, 36 seconds. Will it satisfy the adrenaline junkies? No. However, as a middle of the road ride, I find it quite enjoyable.So, if youre a scaredy cat or not into more intense amusement park rides, Pony Express is a nice wade from the shallow towards the deeper end of the excitement pool. I had an absolute blast riding it & will keep the Pony Express on my must ride list whenever I visit Knotts Berry/Scary Farm.Highly recommend!

It’s kind of a painful coaster and it’s hard to breath but it’s fun, I like it but not as much as their other rides. This ride is closed a lot unfortunately

I like roller coasters and this one is fun. I like the concept of the horses, and the track. One of the best roller coasters at Knotts Berry Farm.

Review №26

They made me take off my professional glasses so I didnt really see clearly but the ride was amazing. Even though its only like 30 seconds the turn toward the end makes it worthwhile. Recommend going here before trying ghost rider.

Best roller coaster ride ever

Review №28

Its a unique experience. Like riding a motorcycle, but its a catapult rollercoaster. Really long wait time and pretty short track length, but it is a fun ride.

JO
Review №29

The ride is really worth it besides the wait time.Be prepared for the staff to let the fast pass people first.My favorite part is the launch.

If theres a long line dont wait.. this ride starts and ends in about 10 seconds. Definitely worth riding if there isnt a line.

Review №37

Unique ride design allows riders to ride on horseback secured at the thighs and waste. However, ride is too short to fully enjoy, just a quick out and back with very few twists or turns. Would be improved by sending around twice. Plus the wait to get unloaded was longer than the ride itself.

Review №42

I wouldnt wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for this ride. Lines can get long because it takes a long time for people to get off and on. And on top of that, the length of the ride seems shorter than the others.

Its a fun coaster and one that fits so well into Knotts Berry Farm. The story of the Pony Express can we learned and experienced. No loops, no inverts, and is more of a Steeplechase type ride. It is very

The restraints hurt, but that is really just the nature of the ride. However, the line is way too long for a 25 second ride in where the only really cool part is the launch. The ride is kind of fun though and it is pretty smooth

You can’t do this. You can’t do that. You gotta take off that GoPro strapped on your wrist. Do you also want me to take off my Apple Watch strapped to my wrist, and my shoes too? Because god forbid I lose one of those too. Yet I wonder how other people manage to record on the rides. And to the snitch who went ahead and asked if he should say something, PINCHE METIDO.
