The annual Golden Ticket Awards survey by trade publication Amusement Today recognized Knoebels and several other Pa. amusement parks.
One of Pennsylvania’s own amusement park rides has been named the best wooden roller coaster for a sixth year running, Knoebels Amusement Resort has announced.“We are honored Phoenix has received this distinction for a sixth consecutive year,” Dick Knoebel, the president of Knoebels , said in a news release.
“It is no small feat to maintain wooden roller coasters the way our team does. Seeing guests’ excitement as they exit the ride — some of whom will hop right back in line to ride again — is what keeps us motivated to continue this meticulous care,” Knoebel continued. The Phoenix was originally built as The Rocket in San Antonio, Texas in 1947, according to Knoebels’ website. The coaster was later moved and rebuilt at Knoebels in 1985. During the last off-season, Knoebels replaced 800 feet — or 7,800 total board feet — of The Phoenix’s track, according to the resort.Lancaster County’s Dutch Wonderland was also awarded Best Family Park for the fifth year in a row in recognition of its kid-friendly rides, according to Amusement Today.
