Comet, Wooden roller coaster in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The Comet roller coaster extended 3,000 feet in length, reaching heights of 65 feet and speeds of 55 miles per hour during its two-minute rides.
Built in 1946 from components of a previous Giant Coaster, the Comet operated at Lincoln Park until the amusement park closed its doors in 1987.
The Comet represented a centerpiece attraction at Lincoln Park, which transformed from a trolley park into a full-scale amusement destination for Massachusetts residents.
The roller coaster operated with two trains of five cars each, accommodating twenty passengers per train until maintenance requirements reduced capacity to four cars.
Following the demolition in 2012, portions of the wooden structure were salvaged by Marion Millwork for transformation into furniture and decorative elements.
