CBA,my first Amusement park in the 60's as a tot(scared to death!),the elec boats& bumper cars,the lumberjack at the entrance,the fun house with crooked floors&room of mirrors.I just met the height req. for the yellow coaster in the late 60's last time there. It dawns on me that coasters are like cars. These RC's were rickety,noisy&scary,new ones are smooth & quieter & thrilling.New cars isolate us from noise & physical stimulation,in the old cars, you felt & heard & smelled everything.

The Comet was a great ride .... and the view across lake Erie from the top was just awesome. I spend time at Crystal Beach very summer in the 60's and 70's riding all the rides, but the Comet was always the highlight of the day!

Canada's Wonderland is much more wonderful than Crystal Beach and Darrien Lake. I will stick to Canada's Wonderland.

It was amazing when it was good and sturdy. It looked like it would throw you into the lake. Loved it.

@notaro335 The yellow coaster was called "Giant Coaster". I rode it with my family in 1988, a year before the park closed. It was a "side-friction" coaster, and also didn't have understop wheels, so it was a bit gentler, but it had some great moves!! The term "side-friction" refers to the wheels on the car sides rolling against boards on both sides of the train. It was built in 1916. A shame it wasn't saved. But "The Comet" runs today at Six Flags Great Escape in eastern NY state!!
