More About This Ride
Features:
70-foot Double Dip drop into a ravine. The lift hill is at the middle of the ride. Even though Jack Rabbit has three trains, it never operates more than two at a time.

History:
The first cars on Jack Rabbit were built by Dayton Fun House and Riding Device Company. In 1947, new trains were designed and built by Edward Vettel, that still run today. The tunnel after the first drop was removed in the 1940's, but was restored in 1991.

This seemed like it would be a kids ride but it was actually more than I expected, with some decent airtime.

My belt was way too tight so I didn't get the insane airtime on the double dip...... which sucks because that IS the whole ride.
