Jack Rabbit, Wooden roller coaster in Irondequoit, US.
Jack Rabbit is a wooden roller coaster in Irondequoit featuring seven dips, a tunnel, and a helix spread across its 2,130-foot track. The ride reaches speeds around 50 miles per hour and takes advantage of the park's natural terrain.
The ride was built in 1920 by John A. Miller and Harry C. Baker and became known for introducing under-friction wheel technology. This innovation advanced coaster safety and performance, influencing roller coaster design for generations.
Multiple generations of families at Seabreeze Park have marked important milestones by comparing their children's height to the ride's measurement board. This tradition links personal growth memories with a destination that remains central to childhood experiences.
The ride is available from May through September, with minimum height requirements of 48 inches for solo riders and 44 inches for accompanied visitors. The park layout offers good viewing spots to watch the coaster before deciding to ride.
The first drop makes use of a 75-foot natural elevation change on the hillside, adding intensity without requiring tall support structures. This clever use of existing terrain creates a more immersive experience from the moment riders begin their descent.
