Ride experience
Fēnix features a lift hill with a height of 40 metres (130 ft) and a layout with a length of 813 metres (2,667 ft). The ride has 3 inversions: a dive drop, an Immelmann, and zero-g roll.[1]
As the train exits the station it takes a 180 degree right-hand turn before climbing the 40 metre (131 ft) chain lift hill. At the top the train makes a 90 degree right hand turn before proceeding down the dive drop. Reaching speeds of 95 kilometres per hour (59 mph), the train travels over an airtime hill before entering an Immelmann loop. The train then enters a 360 degree right hand helix leading into a zero-g roll. Following the zero-g roll, the train travels through a series of banked turns before entering the brake run and station.
