[4K POV] Silver Comet Re-Opened at Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World
Ойын-сауық
Silver Comet is located at Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World, formerly Fantasy Island. We managed to get the very first ride of the day and it was great. It closed in 2020 when Fantasy Island was shut down indefinitely, being made subject of urban exploration over the past 2 years. But it is back now!
This rollercoaster is incredibly smooth and intense. With some great airtime moments and lateral forces. I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.
Niagara Amusement Park itself is the re-opened version of the abandoned Fantasy Island. In 2021 Splash World, the waterpark of the park, opened only. In July of 2022 kiddie land opened and on August 18 the Silver Comet re-opened.

Looks like it rides better than it has in years. Amusement park lovers owe Gene Staples a debt of gratitude for making it his new mission in life to save endangered small parks.
The ride looks surprisingly smooth

it is. smoother than i remember from when i rode it as a child
These old wooden roller coasters are great! Yes, the newer ones made out of steel are awesome, but nothing beats an old-fashioned woodie. This one was probably designed and built without the aid of computers, too!
The sound of my childhood. My first ever roller coaster. Lol. I might go today since I heard of the reopening.

Good for Fantasy Island. They had a few rough years, but it's good to see them back.
Another woodie that has been on my bucket list for years!!!!!
Nice footage! I was at the park this past weekend and Silver Comet is running better than ever. Kudos to Gene Staples, Dana and the crew for all the hard work they're doing. This park has a bright future.
So great to see the park open again I hope I can get over there next year.
Yes… all the fancy coasters in the world are great, but I’ll take a good old-fashioned wooden coaster any day! 👍👍👍
This thing is flying!
This was my first roller coaster (I went on it like 7 or 8 years ago) and I remember it being very smooth, me and my brother will go on this in a few months

Looks amazing! Heavy airtime just watching it!
Rode it for the first time yesterday, I thought it was excellent! Great airtime, good laterals, not rough at all. Definitely an underrated woodie, and I'll 100% be back next year

I think they did, but just went there the other day with my family and im starting to think he's just a really good cameraman 😅😅
It's way smoother than you might think. I recommend row 9 or 10

Hi I was the operator in the box the day you were filming I have to say your reminds of when I was riding that roller coaster earlier that day
Graffiti: so it means there has been people maybe recently No Graffiti: The Ultimate Question. How have we gotten in here yet nobody else has.. Do we want to know why??
I really hope they ditch these ptc trains for millennium flyers at some point. Ptc trains on cci hybrids is always a bad match. For some reason the just trash the track. They are not meant for rides with tons of banked curves and higher speeds. Although I am thrilled they got it going again.
