Comet, Wooden roller coaster in Hershey, United States.

The Comet roller coaster extends across 3,360 feet of track, featuring a 96-foot lift hill and reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour during its course.

Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters constructed this entertainment attraction in 1946, making it the oldest continuously operating roller coaster in Pennsylvania.

The ride stands as a representation of mid-20th century American amusement engineering, drawing multiple generations of families to experience its traditional design.

The coaster requires riders to secure loose articles, transfer from mobility devices, and meet minimum height requirements before boarding the newly upgraded trains.

Over 248,919 feet of lumber form the structure of this coaster, which crosses Spring Creek twice during its 1-minute-and-45-second journey.
