On my final ride, I actually dropped a hand down to the buzz bar to lessen the blow to my thighs. My thighs were constantly hitting the bar, especially on the airtime hill finale. Phoenix was throwing you into those buzz bars harder than I’ve ever experienced before. ![]() I’m used to being lifted into almost a stand position on Phoenix, but not in quite the same manner as it was doing on Tuesday. Phoenix felt like it was running a little bit faster than normal, especially at the end of the day. On Tuesday though… It was hitting different. It was in the front row ride too.Īs for how Phoenix was running… Wow! Seriously, wow! It’s always run like a well-oiled machine and I’ve never had a bad ride. While I was shopping, Sam and Kaylee managed to get one last ride to give them four on the day. We got in three rides together before I ran off to buy some merchandise at the nearby gift shop. Of course there was no way we were visiting Knoebels without several rides on Phoenix. Here are some of the highlights of 2021’s first Knoebels visit for We Were Inverted. Now it’s responsible for some in 2021 too. It goes without saying that Knoebels was responsible for some great memories last year. We timed both to happen on Phoenix on the same exact ride. So this park was new to both and would result in something very special for both Sam and Greg – Sam’s 50th coaster credit and Greg’s 75th. The only coaster she rode that day was Flying Turns. Sam, who had been once before during our 60-plus person work trip that I arranged in 2019, had yet to really experience the park as an enthusiast. ![]() ![]() I was joined by both Sam and Greg – his first-ever visit. In the beginning of October, I made the trip back up to Elysburg, Pa. That first visit of 2020 was indeed special, but so was our second. I am forever grateful to Knoebels and Yutko for helping We Were Inverted so early on. Last August I was able to sit down with the Knoebels Public Relations Director, Stacy Yutko, for the feature, “ Phoenix & the Path it Blazed for Wooden Coaster Relocation.” With her help and numerous enthusiasts from all over the country, that piece has been responsible for more views on this site than any other blog, interview, or feature to date.
