The Comet is a hybrid wood-steel roller coaster that was originally installed at Canada's Crystal Beach theme park in 1927. After a series of complaints that it caused injuries to riders, it underwent a major rebuild in 1947. When the park closed in 1989, the ride was moved to The Great Escape.

The coaster features a series of "airtime" hills and banked turns, and is now significantly less rough than in its original incarnation.
