Both my wife and I had the opportunity to ride the famous "COMET" at both the Great Escape at Lake George and its original home at Crystal Beach in Ontario. Unfortunately, we did not get to ride it together at CB; we did not know each other then.
Sadly, the COMET does not give the same feel to the riders now at Lake George because it no longer towers over the edge of a great lake (no pun intended.) The Comet now runs along the side of a mountain base, removing the illusion of fear that the COMET once gave. (Boo, Hoo)
Still, the CB COMET will always be #1 in our lives.
