Jack Rabbit at Seabreeze Amusement Park is a historic roller coaster created by John A. Miller (1872-1941), one of the era's greatest coaster designers, and builder Harry C. Baker (1887-1939). Opened in May 1920, it was one of the first coasters to use Miller's underfriction wheel design, which locks coaster trains to the track and allowed more daring, larger, and steeper drops that produced greater speeds. Using portions of the park's natural topography, Miller designed it as an out-and-back terrain coaster that quickly became a park favorite. Today it is the world's oldest underfriction roller coaster and the second oldest operating in North America. Reaching a maximum height of 60 feet and a length of 2,150 feet, it features Miller's signature camelback, airtime-producing hills, a 75-foot first drop, and a tunnel helix with a surprise final drop before returning to the station. The coaster was nearly lost when the loading station and lift were destroyed in a devastating 1923 fire along with several other classic park attractions, but the damaged portions were rebuilt for the 1924 season.
