The loss of an NJ legend
I did not realize this little fact, but Forum member CHILLERC1 informed me that we lost a legend yesterday; Jack Rabbit at Clementon Lake Park was demolished. In his words:
The wooden coaster was the oldest before Leap the Dips came back into operation. It was the 2nd oldest coaster in the world. It was the oldest of three Jack Rabbit coasters remaining; the one @ Kennywood and the other at Seabreeze.
The park, under new management, still has the newer wooden coaster, J2 (otherwise known as Tsunami), but Jack Rabbit will always be a legend. I can vouch that it was my first roller coaster ever, and as many of you know, that certainly means something. I remember growing up going to my dad's company picnics at Clementon Park and I would be scared out of my mind of the Log Flume, let alone their lone coaster...but when I reached that certain age, I got the nerve and...voila...I was hooked.
One day the NEPTN hopes to add a special site and forums for Clementon Park, a NJ legend...and nothing is more legendary than Jack Rabbit and may it rest in peace. What are your thoughts? You can add your comments here or join the discussion at the Forums.
