Phoenix is a suspended family roller coaster at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Riders sit in open seats below the track with their feet hanging free, and the layout has no inversions. One curve passes close to the Wonder Wheel; Vekoma says that turn produces 3.4 g of downforce.
The ride is a custom version of Vekoma's Suspended Family Coaster with 372 meters (about 1,221 feet) of track. Vekoma gives a height of 20.73 meters (68 feet) and a top speed of 53 km/h (33 mph). A booster-wheel lift raises the single train of ten cars, which seats 20 riders. RCDB credits the design to Tonny Schonewille.
Phoenix opened in July 2021; RCDB gives July 2, 2021. Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride alone, or 39 inches with a responsible person.
