 The Comet Roller Coaster at Six Flags The Great Escape 2014

The Comet does not have the original trains from Crystal Beach but I love it that The Great Escape kept with running three bench trains on it.

If you want airtime I love sitting in the rear seat of the car because when the front of the car gets pulled down as you crest a hill it gives you a little more of a kick up skyward.

I love looking at the various expressions that a coaster brings to the faces of riders.  The two in the front are having a blast.  The guy in the middle looks bores and the girl in the green in the back seat is half the way between scared and happy.

As for expressions for Bond and I were all grins on The Comet as much fun as it is.  As you can see Bond gave The Comet two thumbs up.

Remember how I mentioned that The Comet was made up of the Crystal Beach Cyclone.  If you look around on the structure you can see a few brackets and remains of it.
