The Jack N' Jill Scenic roller coaster operated at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester NY. Opening in 192, she cost $45,000 USD to construct. ($712,000 USD adjusted for inflation)

The ride only operated, burning down in 1930. The park decided not to rebuild it.

The at Amusement Park in Rochester NY has been operating since 1920, making it the 4th oldest operating roller coaster in the world.

The Jackrabbit was designed by legendary coaster designer John A. Miller, and is one of the few coasters he designed that still operates. It is a terrain coaster that features an out-and-back layout.

It was quite windy there by the beach today, but those with Christmas hats managed to hang onto them. The paper plates of Samboy chips (salt&vinegar and BBQ) went flying but the big foil trays of barbecue chicken pieces stayed put. The Woolies pasta salad went down a treat but the many bowls of canned corn inexplicably remained untouched. Cans of coke were abundant as were Alfoil and the Gladwrap coverings. We wrestled with paper/cardboard utensils whilst sitting on the aluminum park benches with people who worked in the building but with whom we had never spoken. The fare was nicely topped off with home made fruitcake with generous servings of custard from cartons. Stayed for a little while before driving back to work. Still had deadlines to meet.
