Phoenix Reviews & Ratings
The Coaster Critic’s Blog
Phoenix was such a highly touted coaster that I was curious how much I would enjoy it. Especially after looking at pictures and viewing its unimpressive stats. After boarding the Philadelphia Toboggan trains I noticed that the lap bar stopped way above my lap. Rating: 9.0/10 “Excellent”
