Jack Rabbit was a wooden roller coaster located at Clementon Park and Splash World in Clementon, New Jersey, United States. The coaster opened in 1919, having been built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters and designed by John A. Miller. It operated for 81 years before closing to the public in 2002. The coaster then stood out of operation for several years until it was demolished in 2007.[1] It was one of the oldest operating roller coasters in the world at the time of its closure.
Incident
On August 5, 1998, a train derailed before engaging with the lift hill, hitting the park's management office and injuring the three passengers in the front car. They were taken to the local hospital and later released.[2]
