Comet reviews

Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Comet, a roller coaster at Hersheypark. (The minimum height to ride is 42 inches.)
This is one of the country's smoothest 'woodies'. Built in 1946 by Philadelphia Toboggan Co., it was remodeled in 1978. It's 'L' spaped out-and-back/figure eight features a tight 98' initial plunge, lots of air time and a few quick turns. Top speed is 50mph with a 3360' track length. Well worth a wait in line.

AMAZING was all I could say after rideing this. it was the smoothest wooden coaster at the park. From the Top of the hill all the way to the break-run it's enjoyable and smooth!!! - Dakota S

A great basic wooden coaster, big enough to thrill, but basic enough not to scare the bejeebers out of young or first-time coaster riders. Love the Comet! - Vicky Frey

Just your classic out and back woodie. Nothing too amazing here, but I found the airtime pretty enjoyable. Ride at night. - Derrick O. Foreman
