Ride Reviews
Knoebel's Grove

Haunted House
I'm pretty sure this is the best dark ride I have ever been on. You ride in a little car while things light up and jump out and try to scare you. But the ride isn't really scary at all, it is just fun for everyone.

High Speed Thrill Coaster
This coaster was the first coaster that Knoebel's installed. It's fun for kids and adults alike.

Phoenix
The Phoenix was formally known as the Rocket in Playland Park, but when the park closed, this amazing coaster was saved and moved to Knoebel's Grove. After it was re-built, they named it the Phoenix and the ride was still just as good as it was before. This coaster is one of my personal favorite wooden coaster simply because of the great air-time it gives going over every little hill. Head for the front on this coaster, because that is where you really fly out of your seat.

Twister
After the park's huge success with preserving the Phoenix, when they decided on a new coaster, they chose yet another great coaster that was no longer in opperation. They chose Mr. Twister from Elitch Gardens in Denver Colorado. But rather than taking the old one down, they found it more cost effective to use the original plans for Mr. Twister and built a new coaster. The idea was to preserve the wild and intense ride that Mr. Twister always gave to it's riders. Knoebel's also agreed that the coaster will be built completely on their own without the help of any major companies to insure that the new coaster was exactly what they wanted. Twister is my third favorite wooden coaster, right behind Phoenix. This coaster has a very unique design including a switchback lift hill, a turning break run and station, a double helix, and over 30 cross-overs during the ride. I also think this is the smoothest wooden coaster I have ever been on. Knoebel's did a great job with this coaster but I was never on Mr. Twister, so I don't know if it's as good as the original. Even if it isn't, its still a wonderful ride.

Whirlwind
This is a very early Vekoma looping coaster with 2 inversions. A very smooth ride, but also very short .
