While at Waldameer a couple days ago for an enthusiast event, we were lucky enough to get some Extra Ride Time on Comet, so I took lots of pictures. Enjoy!

| The ride can operate two trains due to its braking system. |
Opened in 1951, Comet is a small wooden coaster. The ride, designed by famous coaster designer Herbert P. Schmeck, has a height of 37 feet and reaches speeds of 25 miles per hour.

| Off we go! |

| The ride has some small dips that provide nice pops of airtime. |

Comet is Waldameer's oldest roller coaster, and despite being 68 years old, is still a fantastic ride. It's crazy to think that this was the park's only wood coaster before Ravine Flyer II.
If you are interested, I have a front-seat POV of this ride on YouTube:
