When i got there i thaught it was really small and very un-entertaining... I was wrong its just because of the trees are in the way and the coasters are far away, so i couldnt see them and i got mistaken lol, heres the report!

first ride- phoenix: it was a over-average fast lift hill for a wooden like that.. and also what sucks is thats theres 1 train, so even its a short line its a 5-10 minute wait. The adrenaline kinda didnt hit me on that ride.. it was kinda slow but the few last hills were amazing but the restraints are horrible so your legs lift so high they hit them!

second - twister: Twister was my favorite ride there. yet again it only had 1 train.. i thaught the double lift hill was unique, after the first one the laterals really get you on the turn around. i literaly thaught i was going to lift out on my seat on the first drop.
i loved how it did 2 big dip turns and those are all about my favorite Element in coasters

kosmos turns - all i gotta say was, that was the scariest ride of my life!!!!

flying turns 45 minute wait, didnt like the ride, it was very short lasting and not worth the 45 min wait. it was ok with the intense turns but not the best thing ive tried, it was boring.




I really loved the park and the food was exellently priced. i will come again. pics comming soon.

Knoebles is tied with Hershey as my favorite park in PA, It just has a certain kind of atmosphere that few parks manage to provide. I dont see how you would prefer Twister over Phoenix but to each his own. Out of the 3 splash rides in Eastern Pa, Knoebles is definitely the best despite it being the smallest. AS for the food, its not only reasonably priced but it is also amazing. If you find yourself in Eastern Pa again I would recomend Bushkill Park in Easton, its a very small park with just a couple flat rides and an old, but awesome funhouse, and the only other "catch the ring" carousel I have seen in operation.
What are these for?

It was hard for me to decide from phoenix and twister, but i liked twister better because it was longer, faster, taller and had more adrenaline in it for me. also what does eta mean sorry im not the best with abbreviations.

I went to Knoebels 2 weeks ago and Flying Turns was definitely a disappointment. It didn't go fast enough, the turns were eh and the ride was short. Not worth the hour wait.

ttd03 said it all and the lack of flying turns photos were because everything was hidden and it was surrounded by trees

I personally enjoyed flying turns, maybe not worth the full queue, but its a unique ride, and it was my brothers first roller coaster, which I feel its a perfect fit for such an event
What are these for?

As a first coaster, yea I think it is good, but for me, not worth the wait :P
