Opening Memorial Day Weekend 2008!
Named after the famous Pony Express which
promised a faster mail service on the North
American continent, Knott's Pony Express
promises a horseback relay at speeds never
imagined in the Old West!
While sitting astride one of the team's 16
horses, riders will leave their post with their
stead launching them at a speed of 0-38
mph in less than 3 seconds. The terrain for
the mounted riders will be rugged as they
navigate an ascending banked turn to a
height of over 44 ft. then through a series
of heart-pounding 60 degree banked turns,
camel backs and tight maneuvers. The
team will cover a 1,300 foot route which will
take them past Boot Hill and Big Foot Rapids
resulting in an exhilerating runaway adventure!
