The Comet, a legendary wooden roller coaster that operated at Meyers Lake Amusement Park in Canton, Ohio.

Built by the Sinclair family, the classic wooden roller coaster officially opened to the public in 1947. It replaced an older roller coaster on the site called the Blue Streak.

The ride was designed by Meade Duncan. It stood as the single most popular attraction for local youth visiting the park during its post-WWII golden era.

It was an intense out-and-back wooden coaster famous for its dramatic drops, creaking frame, and a "Do Not Stand Up!" warning sign posted along the lift hill.

After decades of anchoring the park's midway, Meyers Lake Amusement Park closed permanently in 1974 due to growing competition from modern theme parks like Cedar Point, alongside rising inflation.

Unlike other structures that burned down in a massive 1979 fire, the robust structure of The Comet was deliberately demolished after the park closed. It famously "took days to take down" because it was built so sturdily.
