| This Wildcat was purchased from the Old Indiana auction and refurbished by the E S Webb Co (113 N Park; Maize, KS 67101; 316-722-4621). A new station was built, the cars were replaced and a new Allen Bradley dual PLC control system was installed. A new sign was built using a surplus sign that read "NETCOM". The letters were rearranged and the "II" was added. "Comet II" was created in memory of the Comet that previously operated at the State Far of Texas and the first location for the newly refurbished ride to operate. While at the fair, the roller coaster did not travel. This was a unique arrangement with the State Fair Of Texas where the fair provided storage during the off-season -- the roller coaster still stood, but the cars, chains, motors and such were removed and stored. The Comet II was removed to make room for a PAX Shuttle Loop that was to be installed in 2002. The PAX Shuttle Loop was however never installed. Since leaving the fair, the ride has returned to the E S Webb Co in Wichita, KS where it is in storage as of 6/5/2003.
