In the foreground is the Comet's lift hill, which used to carry thrill-seekers to their first big drop. Now the lift hill is merely an incline, (and inclined the wrong way, at that) having been pushed down by a heavy load of snow in 1995, the web told me. Just beyond the point where the chain dips downward, you can see the "clacker", a steel strip of angled teeth that would catch and release a noise-maker attached to the bottom of the coaster's cars, adding to a rider's sense of foreboding.

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

Bells will ring the sun will shine
Whoa, I'll be his and he'll be mine
We'll love until
The end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore

(Songwriters: Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich/Phil Spector.
Released by The Dixie Cups in 1964.)

The web tells me that the low-key Enchanted Forest closed in 2005, which is not enough time for tourism-type web sites to have caught on. One listing mentioned that there really is a forest at the Enchanted Forest. That is where the fleet of go-carts await a new owner.
