I enjoyed yet another Schmeck in Eastern Pennsylvania. Comet was a complete coaster. It wasnt big in many things, but it had a heart and something for everybody. First, I thought the ride was pretty smooth, even for a 50+ year old coaster. The trains were comfortable, and the ride didnt bounce me too much. The first drop, though not spectacular in height and speed, stands strong among other woodies. The hills of the L-shaped out and back were all pretty good, with decent air and a great setting near the river yet hidden, somehow, from the hustle of the entry area. The ride was nestled between trees, adding another cool aspect, and was fairly hidden from unsuspecting riders. Though a bit of it is in typical Hershey fashion, it is about the only coaster that is still hidden, so that counted for quite a bit. Comet was certainly a suprise. The hills were cool, but in the end you get a fun, classic ride worthy of your time (which, kinda sadly, everyone seems to agree and the line was among the longest in the park during my visit.)
