Requesting the Front Row Ride successfully works on this attraction as well, could be my first ever ride on the front of this thing since I don’t ride it as much as the thrill coasters but still a unique feature. Also the last coaster POV prior to my first Six Flags Magic Mountain visit. Anyways speaking of the ride it’s the Zamperla Motocoaster with a Flywheel system that still operates today when Montezoomas Revenges OG form is gone, Pony Express with its completely brown color scheme. On how Hyperview affects this ride is that you can see more of the horse style vehicles in front of you the most and you can see the upper part more without having to lift the camera up for some reason. Either finish the Pony express POV without worrying the seasons before the pass expires in 2024 as my dad may not decide to renew since Magic Mountain claims to fill in the coaster park spot, or if renew can be converted into a 2025 one. Either way be as careful as making POVs on Magic Mountain coasters, as well as adding in more accessible off-ride shots if confirmed, finish off with the horizon-locked ones in the same seats.
Im lucky to have a POV of this ride before the repaint so be sure to check that out: https://youtu.be/ibHvELEMu-Q

Pony Express is a steel motorbike roller coaster at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. It is the first Zamperla-manufactured motocoaster to be placed in the United States, beginning operations on May 22, 2008. The ride features motorbike-style seating and a flywheel launch system.
Pony Express was a $9 million project that was added to the Ghost Town section of the park. The theme of the attraction is based on the historic Pony Express mail service. The attraction is designed to give riders the experience of being part of this delivery system, zooming over hills and around turns. Its out-and-back course shows riders views of Boot Hill and Big Foot Rapids, two popular attractions also located in Ghost Town. Knotts Berry Farm has given it a thrill rating of high thrill (4 out of 5) and is enjoyable for people for all ages.
Design
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. Each train has 8 rows, with 2 seats in each row and the ride can accommodate up to 900 passengers per hour. Each riders seat is shaped like a horse, and the rider straddles the saddle seat to create the feeling that they are riding on a horse. An automated restraint system secures the rider in their seat, pressing against his/her lower back, allowing the upper body to move fairly freely.
Mechanics
The Pony Express was one of the first of its kind to be built in the United States. It is based on a new design called a Motocoaster. This model was manufactured by Zamperla, a roller coaster and attraction company centered in Vicenza, Italy. Riders straddle the seats like a motorcycle or horse, hence the name Motocoaster. Unlike most coasters, the ride doesnt use potential energy attained from ascending a hill via chain lift.
