Standing tall over the park, The Comet commands attention long before you board its first thrilling drop. This massive 4,200-foot wooden coaster serves as the iconic backdrop of the park and carries with it an incredible history.
Originally built in 1927 as the Cyclone, it gained fame as one of the most exciting rides of its time. In 1947, it was rebuilt and redesigned as The Comet, continuing to deliver more than 40 years of coaster thrills to generations of riders. In 1994, The Comet began a new chapter at The Great Escape, becoming one of the most revered wooden roller coasters in the world.
With perfectly timed airtime drops of up to 85 feet, The Comet offers a classic coaster experience that only a vintage wooden design can provide. From its out-and-back layout to the exhilarating hills, this legendary ride is a journey through coaster history—and you can be a part of it.
