Named after the famous Pony Express mail service, this coaster rides at speeds never imagined in the Old West! While sitting astride one of the team's 16 horses, riders leave their post with their steed launching them at a speed of 0-38 mph in less than 3 seconds. The team covers a 1,300 foot route which takes them past Boot Hill and Big Foot Rapids resulting in an exhilarating runaway adventure!
