The Comet

The rumors are true. There's an honest-to-goodness celebrity at The Great Escape.  Perhaps you've seen The Comet on MTV's Road Rules, or Discovery Channel's Wild Rides II and More Top Ten Coasters? Either way, this highly-rated classic is one of the top wooden coasters in the world.

  • Started out as the much-feared "Cyclone"
  • Re-engineered and re-opened in 1944 at Crystal Beach, Ontario as The Comet
  • Rescued from the scrap heap and re-opened in 1994 at The Great Escape
