Despite some less than complementary remarks about the park, one must take into consideration what may have become of this coaster if not for Charlie Wood. After having to put up with the Town of Queensburys crap over this ride, he took to heart the advise of coaster enthusiasts and preserved this ride better than anyone could have ever pictured in their wildest dreams. Evidence this with the fact that the station is split into front and rear seating cues, the preservation of the original layout, and the hiring of the firm from Montreal that tracked the ride (their name escapes me at this writing.)Would Six Flags put this much care into a relocated ride? As when it ran at Crystal Beach in Ontario, Canada, The Comet flies over every hill and offers some suprising lateral Gs throughout its course. The only thing missing is Lake Erie to the right of the lift (and the PTC trains w/o seat dividers, stationary lapbars and no seatbelts.) A solid top ten ride in my opinion.
