Hold on tight — the ultimate ride is returning to the Benton County Fair for 2026! Our mechanical bull is a must-try attraction for thrill seekers of all ages. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or it’s your first time in the saddle, this bull is designed to deliver high-energy fun in a safe and controlled environment.

What makes our bull different?
We use a patented system that mimics a real bull’s movement — not just bucking and spinning, but also tilting and hopping for a truly authentic experience. It’s tough enough to challenge professional bull riders, yet gentle enough for little cowboys and cowgirls to give it a whirl.
