Phobia Phear Coaster is a steel launched roller coaster at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut. It opened on May 7, 2016, and is a Sky Rocket II model built by Premier Rides. The park calls it the first ride of its kind in New England and the first triple-launch coaster in the Northeast.
The single train, two cars seating six riders each, is launched by linear synchronous motors several times in a back-and-forth sequence. It first climbs partway up a 150-foot vertical spike, rolls back and is sent backward up the opposite side, then is launched forward again with enough speed to crest the top of the spike, where it passes through an in-line twist. The park says this is the highest inversion in New England. RCDB lists 863 feet of track, a top speed of 62 mph and one inversion.
The park's minimum rider height is 54 inches, or 52 inches with a supervising companion.
