I cannot imagine any appreciable wait for this ride. However long the line is get in it. The ride ops set the standard for efficiency. This coaster is as perfect a woodie as can be found. Heres why. The turns are done at a fairly slow speed reducing the lateral G-forces. This is done by putting the turns at the top of the hills. Because of this I can take my 5 year olds on with me and they dont get knocked around. A dads elbow to the head is not good. Phoenix is basically a double out-and-back in a figure 8. In between the turns the hills use the potential energy to maximum effect. Bunny hops litter the ride giving generous amounts of positive and negative Gs. My favorite part is after the third drop, there is an unexpected bump in the track that gives incredible air. There isnt another coaster I am aware of that gives a good adult ride and yet is comfortable for small tikes. I have taken my girls on Twister but I had to watch that they did not bang their chins on the lap bar at the bottom of the drops. This is a family ride. If a kid can make the height requirement go for it.
