Under-rated, little known coasters

The reason they named it the silver comet is because a long time ago, when Fantasy Island was under other management (and was called Two Flags over Niagara), they had the original comet in storage next to the Lazy River. It sat there doing nothing for a couple years, then the Great Escape park bought it. When Martin DePietro bought Fantasy Island, he re-named it Martin's Fantasy Island and decided it was a big mistake for the comet to not be built at fantasy island. So he tried to get people to build a new one...."

Was the "other management" Charley Woods or had he sold it by then? He used to own Fantasy Island as one of his "Four Worlds of Fun." Along with Fantasy Island, they were Gaslight Village in Lake George (RIP), some place in Florida (anyone know where?) and......The Great Escape home of the Comet now!

My underrated coaster is the Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. It is a sentimental favorite for me.

"I remember a coaster show over here a few years back where they stressed the fact that there are no brakes on the coaster anywhere except "at the end of the ride." I've often wondered, since the show was made in '98, if that policy has changed"

Raven's only breaks are at the end. I think the same goes for the Legend.

I thought I was the only person to love my little Blue Streak at CLP :)

My first ride in the back was with my little brother, lots of nice air :) Each seat on this coaster gives a different ride, with the front giving lots of laterals and not much air, back giving a LOT of air and not much laterals. On a lucky day u can ride it 2+ times if no1 is waiting to get on...
