The Comet reigned supreme at Crystal Beach Amusement Park on the shores of Lake Erie until the park closed in 1989.  From there it was auctioned off for just $210,000.  It sat in storage until 1993 when construction at it's new home began.

Here are Paul and Kevin taking the Comet during our exclusive ride time.  We didn't actually set up ERT but Mother nature gave it to us when she cleared out the park with a massive rainstorm earlier in the day.

If you like airtime The Comet is a coaster you must get to as it is just a buffet of airtime.

Outside of it's high turnarounds The Comet is just a bunch of low hills that you take at high speed.
