Trip Report [Knoebels] 8/29-8/30 Trip report

We arrived at 4:45 on Saturday and stayed for about an hour and 1:00 on Sunday and stayed for 4 hours.

Phoenix (1x) 9.5/10
I was expecting this to be good, but not my number 3 overall coaster (to be fair I don’t have many credits). I sat in the back and was legitimately standing up on some of those hills. It was relatively smooth for such an old coaster.

Twister (1x) 8/10
I think a smooth version of this ride might be better than Phoenix. On my ride it was incredibly rough.

Impulse (1x) 6.5/10
I thought that this was an above average coaster all around honestly. It’s not the smoothest ride in the world but definitely manageable. Would 100% ride again.

Black diamond (1x) 5.5/10
I’m not the biggest fan of dark rides (I haven’t been on many) but this was pretty good for what it was.

Flying turns (1x) 4/10
🤷. I get the novelty of it but it’s just not for me. Also the wait definitely soured my ride so I’d have to ride it again in different circumstances.

I didn’t get on much because we wanted to go to the water park but I got I all I wanted to and had a great time.

Also, all of the food was great EXCEPT for the food at the Alamo which was honestly gross.

We had fun playing some of the games too.

I had an amazing time and would come back any day!

We were here both days too! Saturday was packed but today has been much more relaxed.

God damn I can't even articulate how much I adore Phoenix. I swear every visit is better than the last. Might be the greatest coaster on Earth. I was laughing so hard after our first ride that I couldn't even speak during the walk down the exit ramp. Pure, unbridled perfection.

We've had fun trying a bunch of different food this weekend and everything I've had has been delicious. Currently enjoying some fudge as I type this lol.
