The Comet
By KiHo, 08/02/05
While in Park City, we chose to visit the Olympic Park.
Suited for tourist we chose to do a "Gold Package". This was $75.00 pp and included the following. A guided tour and entry to the museum. A ride on the Comet or bobsled sled ride, Extreme Zip Line, Unlimited rides on the Ultimate Zip Line.
The Comet (Bobsled) ride was $65.00 pp so the purchase of the Gold package is a great value. The bobsled ride alone is worth $65.00. The bobsled holds three riders and a professional driver. We got up to 70 mph and hit corners in excess of 3.5 gs.
The Extreme Zip line was also worth the money. Ride a chair lift from the Base of the Olympic Ski Jumps to the top of the 120K ski jump. Slip into a harness connected by a pulley wheel on a large steel cable. When all is secured and strapped in
they let you fly. At speeds up to 60 mph and zooming down the face of the ski jump the 450 ft ride goes by in a flash.
