Pony Express, Steel roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California

Pony Express is a steel motorbike coaster in the Ghost Town area of Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, California. Its 1,300-foot (400 m) orange track rises to 44 feet (13 m) and is held up by thick dark brown columns. Riders straddle horse-shaped seats in trains of eight rows, two abreast, and the ride lasts 36 seconds.

Pony Express opened on May 22, 2008, as part of a $9 million addition to Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town section. It was the first Moto Coaster model built by Zamperla, a company based in Vicenza, Italy, in the United States. On October 7, 2010, during Knott's Scary Farm, a train failed to clear the first hill and rolled back into the loading station, colliding with a stationary train and injuring 10 people; the ride reopened a few days later.

The ride is themed on the Pony Express mail service, and each seat is shaped like a horse that riders straddle like a saddle. The train's front car is sculpted as a running horse with a black mane and hooves, followed by a white cloud-like section. Riders pass views of Boot Hill and Calico River Rapids in the Ghost Town area.

Pony Express sits in the Ghost Town section of Knott's Berry Farm, and its track passes close to Boot Hill and Calico River Rapids, so riders get a look at both. Each train holds 16 riders in eight rows of two, and the park rates the ride four out of five for thrills. The launch takes the train from 0 to 38 mph in under three seconds.

The ride uses a flywheel launch system that pushes you to full speed in just a few seconds. This type of rapid acceleration was relatively new for American parks when the ride opened.
