the comet has a cool history , in 1927 cystal beach got a rollercoaster called the crystal beach cyclone, it was a very intense ride at some parts they had to replace the wood with steel because the supports keep breaking so after 20ish years it closed due to its intensity, it even had a nurse station outside of it because of the amount of injures indured on the ride. so in 1948 it was taken apart and with the same parts they built the Comet and it stayed there untill the park closed, then put into stoarge when in 1997 sixflags bought it and put it into the great escape. these alot more to the story but thats the main part.
4:52 that train actually used to run throughout the Ghost Town area and around The Log Flume (Desperado Plunge), through a tunnel and around the Steamin Demon, with the station located right by the Canyon Blaster entrance, but was closed once that ride went in. Canyon Blaster also replaced the Tornado (a haunted house like attraction) and the big warehouse like building still standing used to house an indoor coaster (The Nightmare at Crackaxle Canyon), but closed in 2006 after 7 seasons. If you go on the flume and the back door is open you can see the coaster is no longer standing. It was a rather smooth Jetstar Steel coaster, but with capacity issues that resulted in very lengthy wait times.
Wow, that's really cool info, thanks for sharing! It's too bad the train couldn't stay in the Ghost Town area - it surely fits the theme. A coaster being in that "warehouse" makes a lot of sense based on that building size.
