The Jack Rabbit is a wooden roller coaster located at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Designed and built by John Miller in 1921, it is most well known for its double dip about halfway through the ride. The double dip gives you the feeling that the car is actually being lifted off the track. Its three trains were manufactured by Andy Vettel and contain three cars of six seats each. It is one of the oldest still-running roller coasters in the world.
