Here is some vintage video clips of the Comet roller coaster on opening day in 1947. There is also some bonus clips showing the Comet Jr kiddie coaster which opened in 1951. Lincoln Park closed in 1987 and what is left of the Comet can still be seen on the parks grounds. Very sad ending to this once popular amusement park.

    - wrong Comet. The COmet at Great Escape came from Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada.

    I agree, but The Comet @ Paragon in Hull was the best. It was sold and I found it by accident years later at a place called WildWorld in Maryland. Very trippy.

    It's a world all gone. Like downtowns before malls, or majestic movie palaces with 90 foot wide screens. But more than anything, I miss the polite civility of those days. I'm sorry you didn't get to see it.
