@ Doug Sorry, saw you in line, missed your shout-out, though. Thanks anyways. Didn't know you were from the forum either. I read the forum a couple times a day but rarely post. And certainly! OBX does stand for Outer Banks. My favorite place on Earth

Renee, was that you chatting with me in line? Whoever it was won a blue ball. I lost again...0/4.

Same here! Number 400 at the moment. 0/3, but I blame my last loss on my mother. She called when I had 5 minutes to go and I forgot to play!

Ugh...just had my turn. Knocked the ukulele around a bit. Ah, try again tomorrow maybe

Mom does me proud...67 years old and just rode her first invert, Raptor. Although she was a bit wobbly when she got down the exit ramp!

I believe the trains were at a salvage/junk yard right in New Castle, not 100% sure which one though. I also see that rcdb has pictures of the Comet now. Not sure when they were added. As for the Dips at West View, that was my first coaster ever. No kiddie coaster for me, Mom just dragged my butt along with her. That turnaround was a nasty surprise. Scared the poop out of me. Didn't ride another coaster 'til 1976 at Cedar Point. I, sadly, never rode the Whippet.

Long time lurker here. Thanks for the photos of the Comet, Scott. I was always a West View Park goer and have only lived in this local area for 7 years so never saw the Comet run, but I have explored the park as it currently sits. You can still see pylons and steel beams crossing the creek. I often wondered what the coaster looked like. I have only seen one other picture of the coaster running along the ravine. Last pictures of the trains that I know of can be found HERE Thanks Lori, for the pictures
