The Jack Rabbit roller coaster at Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

John Miller designed the Jack Rabbit into one of the ravines that bisects Kennywood's property.  The ride starts out by sending you down into the ravine before turning you around and plummeting into it again.

Using the hilly terrain the Jack Rabbit doesn't even get to the lift until the ride is half over.

The Jack Rabbit is about one thing and it does that well.

That one thing is airtime.  The double down after the lift will send you flying up into the the seat belt that is holding you in.  That double down is some of the best airtime on the planet.

The double down sends you plummeting into the ravine for the third of the rides four drops before heading up into the turn.
