October 2000:
Arrived early for the hockey game at Hershey, and walked over to the park for Hersheypark in the Dark. I was only there a short time before having to get to the arena for the game. I squeezed in one ride on the Comet, one on the Looper, one on the Great Bear, and a final ride on the Comet.
It wasn't quite dark, but it was late twilight. It was also a very cool evening. It was a back seat ride. Not sure if it was the coolness, the darkness, or what, but the old Comet seemed to scream that night, and I was thrown out of my seat a bit as the train dropped down the first hill. Even the trim breaks over the station (on turn #2) didn't seem to slow things down much, as the train made a fast dash through the dog leg section and bunny hops on its way back to the station.
