Phoenix is the best wooden coaster I've ridden to this day. It has relentless airtime and speed that only gets better as the ride goes on. Definitely ride this coaster in Seat 1.3.

This is the best wooden coaster! The airtime is amazing, and it feels like the train is just going to lift up off the rails. Definetly worth the trip to Knoebel's from anywhere.

Amazing classic Schmeck woodie with great air and an overall wonderful ride. Among the top woodies in existence and easily worth a 5.

The last 4 hills on the ride is what makes it so great. But the odd thing is sitting in the front gave way more air then in the back.

Great airtime. I started going down the hills with my hands up and then slammed out of my seat and into the lap bar. I had to hold on with at least one hand for the rest of the ride.

This is one heck of a ride, the airtime is crazy, my trick is a lift my feet off the floor and the airtime feels even crazier. I also love how this ride has the traditional wood coaster air brakes.

Great air-time...by the looks, this coaster seems tame.
