Let me start by seeing it is better at night but i tried to rate it based on both day and evening rides. APPEARANCE -10 it still looks amazing the tress around it are amazing especially during the fall. the trains have a classic look. i really like the old school signs that still habg in the lines and the documentary is nice. the staion looks a little to mine ridey and i miss real concession stands in the line like the old days. RIDE QUALITY -8.5 the last time i went i noticed the trim brakes more than in the past. maybe its because ive rode 80 new coasters since my last visit, but i cant overlook a trim brake on the first hill. airtime is non existent especially with the seat belts but the long ground level straightaways make up for that. CAPACITY-10 still loads very quick and with three trains the line hardly ever stands still. it is also better since they dont line you up have way down the midway like the old days. FUN-10 still exciting, still fast, still orginal even after all this time. just a fun ride for all levels of coaster riders. RERIDE 10- still the number 1 reason to go to this park. still one of the best coaster anywhere. no matter the wait this is the one thing you have to do when you are at PKI. OVERALL 48.5 AVG 9.7 so give it the 10 the use of trim brakes cost it 2 points and moved it behind shivering timbers to my # 3 ride. phoenix still the unprecendented #1. its amazing when you think of all the advancements and all the new wood coasters how well this one stands the test of time. i would love some park to try and make something similar.
