This ride and restraints are pretty unique for a hanging coaster. Phoenix rising had just enough kick to it to put a smile on the kids faces that road it. This will be longer than PR and actually has some themeing to it though not as dramatic as OG BBW , topography wise. Im assuming there's more than one train. please put your height requirement sign 2 times. Once near Festhaus and once at the line entrance. Save people 50k steps if the kid isnt tall enough.
