Phoenix is a steel spinning roller coaster at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa. It was built by Maurer Rides (an SC 2000 model) and opened in 2019, replacing a flat ride called the Inverter.
Riders sit in cars that rotate freely as they travel the track. Cars climb a 50.9-foot chain lift, and the 1,410.8-foot course reaches 37.3 mph with no inversions. Each car seats four riders, two across in two rows. RCDB gives the cost as $6 million and the capacity as 900 riders per hour. Its footprint is about 76 by 148 feet.
The park lists a minimum rider height of 48 inches.
