Phoenix Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Knoebels > Roller Coasters > Phoenix Pictures

Ready to roll.

Phoenix has quite a unique history. It was originally known as the Rocket at Playland Park in San Antonio. In 1980 the Rocket quit operating. In 1985 Knoebels decided to move the whole damn coaster to their park. It cost $1.5 million and since no blueprints were available, every board was numbered for reassembly. Today Phoenix consistently ranks as one of the best wooden coasters in the world. Not too bad an investment!

Oh yeah, this thing moves! And it delivers a ridiculous amount of airtime.

Phoenix begins with a trip through this tunnel.

Phoenix stands at 78 feet tall with a 3200 foot long layout full of delicious airtime.

At the top of the lift hill.

This great sign and model reside at the entrance of the ride.
