Phoenix

From the big drops delivering floater to the epic bunny hill finale that will guarantee some slamming into the buzz bar then to the seat!

I typically like the back seat on traditional coasters, but the Phoenix has such REALLY GREAT airtime in the front it’s hilarious.

The Reverend

The airtime this ride provides is unlike any other coaster mainly because of the restraints the ride has.

Keystone Coasters

The aforementioned high lap bars combined with Phoenix’s pedestrian, but air-time packed layout added up to 20-some people floating out of their seats 8 or 9 times.

I was in my seat for a few of the hills and the ones with airtime it was just a quick pop.

The ride itself was easily the smoothest wooden coaster I’ve ever been on, and that’s shocking considering it is over half a century old!

Pidge Lintner

The seats are comfortable, the tunnel starting off the ride is mad dark and kinda funny, the pacing is excellent, the operations were perfect almost all day leading to minimal waits, and the airtime,...

The next turnaround is the one rough spot on Phoenix, but it is astonishingly smooth considering the sheer age of this coaster.

It’s surprisingly comfortable for how fast it goes.

On the final stretch you leave your seat so many times that on consecutive rides your rear end starts to hurt.

The Reverend

there are actually bruises on my thighs...

It’s not as intense as most of my faves, but it’s quite enjoyable.

Phoenix is a great ride for all ages and the average park-goers.

Best part of this ride is getting lifted from your seat while going mach 15, all the while only having a lap bar.

Robert Miller

i rode it today and i think knoebels did something there is airtime on ever drop or hill theres also vicious laterals it was hauling!

@Coasters_cut

I love airtime (Specifically ejector), but there are a couple of dead spots in the ride, most notably the turnarounds.

Samuel Stone

It gives some of the best ejector in the northeast, only challenged by skyrush, my 1, it is amazing that a coaster this old can be this good, the only con is the trim break.

On top of that absurd ride experience, the operations on this ride are the fastest I’ve ever seen.

EDIT: I wanted to add, it took less than a minute to dispatch and load the cars!!!!

Jake The coaster dude

During the post ACE convention ERT in June, Twister was a walk-on while Phoenix had a 3-4 train wait all evening.

Riverview Mike

Capacity was horrible with one train running on a busy August weekend.
