After scaling the lift hill, the Comet takes off--and never lets up until it returns to the station. Since there are no extremely banked curves, nor any of the convoluted track configurations that a twister coaster offers, the lateral G-forces are kept to a minimum. Instead, the Comet's double-out-and-back layout puts the focus on the hills and the G-forces that alternately pin riders to their seats and lift them skyward. It races downhill, then swoops up, then down, then up for a non-stop, thrill- scream- and laugh-filled ride.
