Pony Express, sometimes called Cowboy Express was a Bayern Kurve ride built by Schwarzkopf. It opened in 1976, and closed in 1996. The ride was located near wervelwind, close to where Sledge Hammer is now. The building over this ride still exists.
The ride has been rethemed multiple times, it was once without roof, and the cars had different colors trough the years. During the ride the passengers will go around with at least 64 kilometres per hour.
