Comet • Walygator Grand Est

Nice surprise! Fun Headbanging Disappointing! Discomfort

Fun but need a retrack

Headbanging Theming

Some headbanging here and there but overall not that bad for its age

Pace Intensity Smoothness Headbanging

Honestly a pretty decent Vekoma Hurricane. My first ride was towards the front, and my second was towards the back. Both feel nearly identical. Comet has an intense vertical loop and decent corkscrews. The ending helix is nothing special. It has a bit of positive Gs but is pretty janky. The transitions can cause quite the headbanging if you're not careful. The trains are fine. They track well and are a bit more open than Goudurix's trains but the padding on the seat starts at a weird location. You can feel the seam in between the padded and unpadded parts of the seat, but it's not uncomfortable, it's just there. The soundtrack sort of reminds me of Euro Mir's soundtrack but a bit less memorable. As for the height limit, people between 1m20 and 1m90 can ride. This is due to the ride's sometimes low clearances and restraints. Comet only ran one train during my visit, and only has one train available. The second one was most likely scrapped, as the switch track was empty and the Waly museum towards the entrance contains part of the shell of an Arrow train and Comet has run the same trains since it opened. They never changed. You are allowed to film using a wrist or chest mounted GoPro. I am not sure about head mounted GoPros, but I would assume that they are not allowed.

Ah yes, old school Vekoma. Headbanging incoming. Also this ride looks like it will fall apart any moment, I did not really feel safe.

Inversions Fun Theming

First: Arrow trains are much better than the Vekoma ones - the provide more legroom, are reasonably comfortable and look more appealing. Considering its age, this charming classic runs comparably smooth - there might be little rattle here and there, but nothing dramatic. The inversions are fun - overall I enjoyed it. Plus - the booming psytrance soundtrack playing in the station at our visit was quite freaky and a nice change to the usual park soundtracks :D

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

I approached this old Vekoma coaster with a rather negative feeling of it being shaky and uncomfortable. But I got surprised how smooth it still was and headbanging wasn't that bad. Its more of a smaller coaster with medium thrill, its not very intense (more like a warm up coaster). The layout it compact and not too long. Operations are ok. Also like The Monster, there is no theming, but I liked the walkway around the coaster

Capacity

For a Vekoma of this type, this is surprisingly smooth to ride.
