 Review of Phoenix @ Knoebels

Best wooden coaster that I have ridden. Simply a great ride. It is a slight bit rough, but I like rough and its not the kind of rough that you are used to. It is the kind of rough that only no seatbelts and insane airtime can bring. If you like wooden coasters, you will love this. If you know someone that does not love wooden coasters, they will learn to like them if you get them to go on this. You leave the station wondering what all the hype is about. You make your journey into the pitch black tunnel and make it to the lift hill, rising from the ashes to the light. The chain lift clanks you up the unimpressive 78 foot hill. You sit up and take a look back at the layout of the ride, factor in the fact that it is such a small drop and you wonder what is so great about the thing; what is all the greatness that is spoken of this heap of wood about. Then you are off, flying out of your seat, bouncing around like there is someone shocking your butt and you cant help but lift out of the seat. The ride does not look overly great, nor is it visually appealing, but it is definately an amazing design and run to perfection. The only complaint that I have about the ride is the fact that the cars have dividers in them. Im not sure if they are needed or what, but sometimes over the last few hills my thigh decides to take a leap up over the divider and land on it, sometimes making my leg go into the other seat. Nothing wrong with that though from my end, but Im sure that some people are not up for that kind of pain. All in good fun though and adds to it all. This ride proves that there is no need for racing a train 128 mph up an over 450 foot high hill. Height and speed dont necessarily have to be present to make a great ride, and a great ride this is.

My feelings almost exactly. My wife actually landed on the seat divider also.
