Mark Rosenzweig Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hey Guys, Just put up photos taken this past weekend at LaRonde and Great Escape. You can check 'em out at: www.whispers.smugmug.com Also on the page are galleries featuring Oktoberfest 2003, Williams Grove, a SFGAm/PGA contrast/comparison, and MFI/SFDL/Seabreeze/Sylvan Lake. In case you were wondering, the GE Comet is still a top tier kick ass ride. Only the first lateral air hill (following the third drop) was modified. Everything else remains as was. If anything, the ride picked up speed thanks to the first modified hill. Perhaps the most forgotten/underrated ride in the country. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadmos Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Great pictures! I also agree about the Comet. I have yet to ride it, but it looks like a great woodie that is hardly ever talked about anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Great Photo's : What's "The Comet" at Great Escape like to ride. It's amazing some of the structure came from the "Crystal Beach CYCLONE". Love to see this coaster rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Personally, The Comet just didn't do it for me. Maybe I caught it on a bad day last summer. LaRonde was a charming little place, easy to get to by public transportation with some unique, well run flats. Too bad the coasters aren't on par.
