Phantom Theater Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 It sucks how Idora Park ended.A welder left his torch on in the Lost River Ride,and it spread catching the midway,and their main attraction, The Wildcat!It looks very fun on these POVs,but now their both gone completly.

Hendrick Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'll add a few POV to your list. <-- Higher Quality Jack Rabbit <-- Back Wabbit <-- Baby Wildcat When the Wildcat burned down, it was ranked in the top 10 wooden coasters at the time. What a shame. And as for the Jack Rabbit, it doesn't have upstops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nope, theres only one side friction coaster left running in the US (Leap the Dips). The Jackrabbit was not a side friction coaster at all. http://www.rcdb.com/id243.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ...as it was, when it was built. Doubtless, when Mr. Edward Vettel rebuilt it in 1930, the upstops were added...as a safety feature, which they are. Originally, Jack Rabbit only did 23 miles per hour!
