Memphis Comet

Memphis Comet was a wooden roller coaster located at Memphisworld in Germantown, Tennessee, USA. It was previously operated at State Fair of Texas as Comet from 1947 to 1985.

History at Memphisworld
The ride opened in December 1986 for employees and their families and got a full opening for April 1987.

Colour scheme
It originally had red track and white supports, like it's original life in Texas, but in 2000, it was simplified to having red rails, while the rest of the track was white.

Trains
When the coaster was rebuilt at Memphisworld, the original NAD trains were initially put in storage, and black and red striped D.H. Morgan trains were bought in to replace them. Later, one of the NAD trains was put on display in the ride's queue line.

Headrests were also added to the Morgan trains in 1995, but were later removed in 2007 due to complaints of roughness.

Incidents

 * During it's third day of testing, in December of 1986, the train valleyed due to the cold December weather.
