mtavenger55 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 With the Labor Day holiday approaching, some friends & I decided to take a trip to Knoebels while the park was still opened during the week. I'm off work on Tuesdays & Wednesdays so it was a perfect opportunity. Knoebels is about 3 1/2 hours away from my house. We left at around 10 am & arrived at 1:30pm. Pretty good timing! We couldn't have asked for a better day at the park. Most schools in the area have started so the park was pretty much dead! The longest we waited for a ride was 5 minutes. This was my first trip to Knoebels since July 31, 2014 so I was pretty excited to be going back. We got on 21 rides today! On to the photos! First up the iconic Flying Turns! Very enjoyable ride. One of my favorite coasters of all time! Time for a new credit! Impulse was intense! & my 319th credit! Rode it 2x today. Once in the front row & once in the back. After Impulse we got some food & took an arcade break. Just in time for Halloween season! Also another favorite of mine. Straight from the Jersey Shore! Also a perfect fit for Knoebels! Didn't get too wet on the log flume lol. Before Twister we went on the antique cars! Got a front row ride on Twister too. As you can see, the park is very crowded today! Went on both trains today. Always relaxing. I hit my friend so hard on these awesome bumper cars that his sunglasses fell off his hat lol. They didn't break either! This ride was...interesting. Also my boat was very hard to control. Not as fun as High Speed Thrill Coaster was, but still enjoyable. A good old classic whip ride! No trip to Knoebels is complete without a ride on Flyers that you can snap! I was 1 for 2 on the ring toss attempt lol. Not a fan of spin & puke rides, but survived lol. Are these air gates new this year to Phoenix, or were they installed last year? I wish I could've ridden this more than the 4x, but had a blast on every ride on it! Thanks for reading!

mtavenger55 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Great report! This park is definitely on my bucket list! Thanks! You won't be disappointed! ^Thanks I wasn't sure. I knew they weren't there in 2014. Either way I think they are a nice addition especially with keeping the crowds controlled on a busy day. I'm surprised Twister didn't get them. One of my best days there for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
