Superbatboy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 RC-48 looks like it has the most variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storms555 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think the 4th one looks the best. Id love to have one of those at my local fair! (in my dreams! lol) Does the third one have spinning cars? Looks like it would be spinning coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physical Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've heard pretty bad things about the RC-48, and considering it's a Pinfari, they're probably accurate. Â I'm gonna go with the Comet II, classic Schwarzkopf, can't really go wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Comet II works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Considering that my local fair contracts the rides to Wade Shows, and the only one they ever bring, year after year, is a Wacky Worm, I would take any of these. Any of them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcoastermark Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 After having rode all 4, here's my take from a couple of years ago at the Florida State Fair. Pulling into the parking lot, I was most excited to see Comet II. It looked great. The day was unusual for Fla, overcast and only a high of 60. First up, Super Cyclone. After waiting about 15 minutes to ride because of the 4 person per train requirement, (there was only 2 of us and we had to wait for 2 more riders) It is at best a glorified kiddy coaster, heavily trimmed. Next up was the spinning Mouse. Again, heavily trimmed and the short traveling version. (Kennywood's has it beat by a million times) Fun, just nothing remarkable. Next up was Comet II and what I was most looking forward too.I remembered riding the original Wildcat at CP, not the replacement one, and was hoping for somewhat of a wild ride. First off, the cars were not in the best of shape. Faded paint and the old headlight/taillight features were just a plain black painted plate. Maybe it was just the cold, but man was it disappointing. Slow and again, heavily trimmed. So that left us with RC48. We had heard bad things about it, so not too hopeful was our thought. Upon getting into the train, my first thought was, oh heck, Final Destination ! there was was so much duck tape all over the train, I almost backed out. Throwing my fate to the powers that be, I pulled down the OTS restraints thinking why in the heck? As I later discovered, it has to do with the very tight, we're talking inches of clearance. This turned out to be the best of the 4 coasters. Not too rough, and the only one that felt like a real coaster. (tho it did feel very temporary and Carny) Would I wait in a line if it was in a permanent park? No, but for a fair, it was a lot of fun and we tempted fate on it 5 times that day.

SouthFloridaFreak Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 They used to bring the RC-48 to the South Florida Fair along with the Zyklon/Crazy Cat. Then in 2015, they replaced RC-48 with the Mighty Mouse Coaster, and that stayed the same for 2016 too. They brought the rethemed Zyklon called Super Cyclone last year, but they have never once brought Comet II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
