Comet is a steel roller coaster located at Walygator Grand Est in Maizières-les-Metz, Grand Est, France. Up until 2007, it was called "Comet Space". From 2007 to 2013, the ride was called "Waly Coaster". It is one of only two Vekoma Hurricane coasters in the world, and the only Hurricane still operating today; the other, The Jester in Six Flags New Orleans, is standing but not operating along with the rest of the park since August 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina.[1]
