I live close to Knoebel's and it is a park we visit alot. I absolutely love coasters, and Phoenix is incredible. Twister and Flying Turns are amazing and I love Impulse. I am also in love with Stratosphere and those hamster wheels. Great family park!!!
Fun fact, Pheonix was actually built in 1947. They purchased and transplanted it from Texas in 1985. Every wooden piece was numbered and labeled. Also, Black Diamond originally was in New Jersey built in 1960. They moved it here in 2011 with a re-theme. Twister and Flying Turns were built in house If you ever go again, make sure to ride Kosmo's Kurves...it may be a kiddie coaster, but it's a wild one! Thing has airtime in the back lol.
😲 So you missed the ERT on Flying Turns ? Didn't any ACE member tell you it was running for ACEr's only . It was closed all year due to lack of staffing. And the 2 ACE events were the only time they ran it . Did you get a chance to ride any of the other "Must Do" rides there? : Flyer, Haunted Mansion, Bumper cars etc.
I did unfortunately. The line from the looks of it was about an hour plus long since everyone was waiting in line. And we only had so much time for ERT. So I decided a Phoenix marathon was a better use of the limited time. I didn’t get to do Flyer, Haunted Mansion, Bumper Cars either. It’s amazing how quickly time flies in one day. My first trip I mainly focus on the coasters and the on my return trip I try to make sure I hit up everything else.

This is my home park, I live about 10 mins away! I would like to know what coaster you would like to see knoebels build next.
Knoebels is such a hard one to predict too!
I’m joining aces because of this vid
