The story of Fenix
Toverland’s great 2018 enlargement brought visitors to Avalon, a new quarter set beyond the park’s earlier indoor beginnings. Fēnix was placed there as the principal steel work, flying over the new land and its broad water. blooloop.com
For the engineering, the park turned to Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland and chose the Wing Coaster form. Toverland’s own figures give the finished ride a height of forty metres, a speed of 95 km/h, and three inversions. bolliger-mabillard.com· toverland.com
By early July 2018, reports noted that Fēnix had been testing for weeks ahead of its first public weekend. The coaster opened with Avalon on 7 July 2018. newsplusnotes.blogspot.com· coasterpedia.net
The ride also marked a step in the park’s ambition. Blooloop reported that guests had wanted a coaster with inversions, and that Toverland selected a B&M Wing Coaster for the sensation of flight. blooloop.com
