Comet Review, Six Flags Great Escape Relocated PTC Wood Coaster | Is This Ride Still Elite?

Comet is the signature attraction at Six Flags Great Escape. This PTC wood coaster was designed by Herb Schmeck and it is a very historic ride. Comet was relocated to Great Escape in 1994 after running at Crystal Beach from 1948-1989. And the support structure used to build Comet was originally used on the legendary Crystal Beach Cyclone. While this ride once won awards for the world's best wood coaster, it has faded somewhat into obscurity in recent years. So what happened? Find out in this review!
