Jack Rabbit, Wooden roller coaster at Kennywood amusement park, West Mifflin, US.
The Jack Rabbit roller coaster stretches across 2,132 feet of track, reaching speeds of 45 mph through its wooden structure and banking turns.
Constructed in 1920 by John Miller and Harry Baker, this roller coaster implemented innovative under-friction wheels that advanced the engineering of thrill rides.
Multiple generations of Pennsylvania families have experienced the double-dip drop of Jack Rabbit, establishing it as a regional tradition since its opening.
Riders need to measure at least 42 inches in height, while those under 48 inches require accompaniment from a responsible adult for safety reasons.
The roller coaster utilizes the natural terrain of Monongahela Valley, incorporating a 70-foot double-dip drop that generates substantial weightlessness sensations.
