 Review of Phoenix @ Knoebels
0 Rating Posted by: cucumber on 3/1/2006 3:22:00 PM
This, my friend, is the greatest ride that was EVER BUILT!! Usually, these days, newer, more high-tech rides are being built with theming, extreme height, and cool machinery. Take DisneyWorld for example. That place is so popular (unfortunately, I havent visited there), probably because of its 21st century-like attractions. But its always good to scream the old fashioned way. Phoenix is a classic which was built in 1947 at some other park. The great, non-racheting lapbars provide the extraordinary airtime. You get to see people get flung above their seats because of the lack of headrests. Even the beggining of the ride is excellent. You know, going through the pitch black tunnel. Theres always screaming in there. Every drop after the lift is an experience, especially the extreme bunny hops. Relax on the ride, because its very smooth for a 40s coaster.Thats kind of odd. I dont know what Id do without this. Knoebels, NEVER tear this down, period. If you dont ride this, go to the helicopter ride, Ill be eating popcorn. Nice phrase, jdale.

Yeah! That thing is fun! It was my first coaster with the exception of the High Speed Thrill Coaster. And probably the reason that we never heard about it until it was moved is because it was one of the first modern coaster relocations.

And also the fact that it ran as the Rocket and was moved back in the 1980s in the days BEFORE the internet. News spread rather slowly back then... if at all.
