Jack Rabbit is a wooden roller coaster at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, New York. It opened on May 31, 1920.

History

The coaster was designed by John A. Miller with Harry C. Baker. In August 1923 a fire destroyed several of the park's buildings, including the Old Mill and a dance hall, and damaged the Jack Rabbit, which was rebuilt. RCDB also credits D.H. Morgan Manufacturing as a builder of the ride.

The park describes the layout as a modified out-and-back. Its 2,150 feet of track include a 75-foot drop, a series of dips, a sharp final curve and a finale through a dark tunnel. A chain lift pulls the single train of five cars, each seating four riders in two rows, up the lift hill. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
