Jack Rabbit Review Kennywood Roller Coaster HD 60fps

[@chesapeakebeachbum]

Nice video. Someone may have already mentioned this in an earlier comment but I think you're not considering that this ride was built in 1920. It may be one of our earliest examples of a coaster with up-stops which allowed for the double down without the train flying into the ravine. At the time this feature was virtually unheard of and the rest of the ride was also very thrilling for its time. So while it's not glass smooth, it's also approaching 100 years old and its better maintained and a better ride than most 5 year old coasters at most other parks. That said I think you're right on that its about a 6 on the thrill-o-meter by today's standards. What I love is that my 3-yo was brave enough to ride it this year - his first "big" coaster! What a great introduction to the world of roller coasters.

[@negativefloof5033]

Ken Carmichael this coaster was built buy John Miller to show off the upstop, it is debated if this was the first, or if the New York jack rabbit ( with no double down) was the first to use an upstop

[@JamiewoodCoasters]

The Jack Rabbit was my very first coaster, as it is with most children in Western Pennsylvania. Truly a piece of history. Also, the height requirement is only 36in.

[@docmcgrew383]

Kennywood_Miller they changed it to 48"

[@Don_Rodrigo44]

never understood why this is always our first coaster when the race is much less intense

[@G.0.]

@@Don_Rodrigo44 I think it's because of what OP said. The height requirement used to be so low that it was typically the first coaster that most kids were able to ride. At least, I believe that's what the case was for me from what i can remember at such a young age.

[@mikeyt3784]

It's 42". I have a 3 year old patiently waiting to be that tall lol. Hopefully next summer!

[@coasterharambe3344]

This review style is so clever... It's like nobody has thought of it before. Truly original.

Thank you!

Actually, this review style copies this other coaster channel called Canada Coaster Fan. I watch their videos all the time, they were the first person to use this review style

[@buckeyelevators]

When I rode this, on the double down, some kids behind me were yelling "WE FLEW OFF THE TRACKS, WE FLEW OFF THE TRACKS!!!"

You actually do on this coaster!!

@@JustLandonBuilds Yes you actually do 😂

[@JustLandonBuilds]

@@triple7marc i know you are being sarcastic, but it is impossible for the train to leave the track. There is a wheel under, to the side, and above. 😄

Jack rabbit is my first ever coaster credit excluding lil phantom (its an amazing family coaster, rode this at 4 years old)

That award moment when you spot your friend in the front row on the right making the peace symbol. LOL! 1:55

[@PichuBlues92]

The double down is really something else. It's awesome.

[@xmancubed7660]

As A coaster enthusiast, I didn't tighten my seatbelt and I flew up and came down hard on the double down... Bad decision...

[@CoasterHorizons]

*good decision

[@bunja9101]

One time, I went on Jack Rabbit and I forgot to do my seatbelt 😂

Did you fall out?!?!?!

You just wanted that supreme ejector I don’t blame ya

[@megelizabeth9492]

It's fun to imagine what going on this would have been like in 1920, when it first opened. That double down must have been absolutely terrifying for guests, since the car literally tries to launch itself off the track! (It doesn't of course, but it still certainly feels like it)

[@coasterglitch]

Great Review! This looks like a great roller coaster for families.

[@thatoneguyjames9173]

You do know that this is the 3rd oldest rollercoaster in America and in the 1920s there was like no really thrilling rollercoasters, hell there was barely any rollercoasters in general so I think you should take that into consideration as well......did you know that the jackrabbit is the only rollercoaster with a double dip

[@DF-ky6nv]

Some people say it's a double down, but I see them differently. Heck, even rcdb lists it as a double down. I just see a double dip as an oversized double down

[@Sparky-uz5db]

D F you wouldn’t understand because you probably don’t live near or in Pittsburgh

[@jarrenlumpkin8973]

I love roller coasters :-)

[@brycefourn2001]

Neat review! The double down drop looks cool!

[@twistedcheese1]

the Grand national at Blackpool pleasure beach has a fantastic double down

[@bmcminn8838]

You should come to Rochester NY our Jack Rabbit at seabreeze is the 4th oldest roller coaster in the country

[@Sam-sn2cn]

You should do top 10 airtime moments on a coaster

[@ethanwinstead6280]

He did

[@skodwardee]

+Sam17 #1 El Toro's Rolling Thunder hill

[@Sam-sn2cn]

Tesla Fan No he did top ten roller coasters with the most airtime, im talking top ten airtime momments

[@coasterglitch]

+Sam17 Every airtime hill on Skyrush

[@themeparkthrills5961]

The list would have to include every airtime moment on skyrush, el toro, and EVERY bunny hill on the Phoenix!!!

[@skodwardee]

Phoenix has a very similar restraint system except it doesn't have a main seatbelt. I've been on Phoenix but I have yet to ride Jack Rabbit, which will be this summer

[@marley-fw7xv]

You should go to Knoebels and ride the Phoenix if you get a chance

[@CoasterStudios]

+marley1211 It's on the bucket list! :)

[@robloxcoasters8383]

+marley1211 You should go to Knoebels and ride EVERYTHING if you get a chance*

[@crashcoaster3852]

+Coaster Studios If your going to Knobels, make sure to ride and get plenty of footage of impulse and flying turns! :D

[@steveatron3499]

+Coaster Studios there is a new park six flags in china if proof go to the website and make a. update a d a

[@themeparkthrills5961]

Knoebels is an amazing park(I'm not just saying that because I work there in the summer) it's nowhere close to being like the big corporate parks but also has its own unique feel compared to other family-owned parks. It really is in a league of its own!

[@pivotcoastervideos3551]

So you can wait for the front/back on any of the coasters at this park?

[@docmcgrew383]

PivotCoasterVideos I don't know this is my home park and this is the first time I'm hearing of this

[@thatoneguyjames9173]

PivotCoasterVideos yes you can on thunderbolt, phantom, and skyrocket

[@negativefloof5033]

Yeah, this is my home park and if waited for back seat on jack rabbit, it's just annoying and I rarely do it

[@TitanLRV]

Nice review!

[@chknnuggies]

Bro you gotta review Thunderbolt (also at Kennywood) next

[@calvinjohnson5425]

Jack rabbit at sea breeze has a double down too

[@alexanderlabanca1322]

The Boss at six flags stl has a double down, but not as much as one.

[@timokho20]

I had that same memerable aitime moment on Goliath at six flags magic mountain.

[@CoasterCrab]

Wait your coaster lists friend and don't you only go to theme parks together? If so did he go too?!

[@timokho20]

CoasterDudesUnited well, we do go to theme parks together, but we are both in different familis, duh?? so i go on holiday with my family and he goes with his, so thats why we have ridden different coasters, we do go to the same parks together when that are around us, (toverland, efteling walibi holland, phantasialand.

[@timokho20]

Pop Films I know it didn't have much airtime, but it did have that one hill and that was such an amazing feeling, it was different that other coasters with airtime that i have ridden.

[@timokho20]

+Max Wendling wel i did get airtime anc pretty good airtime as wel.

[@Abb-fx6dj]

Worked the jack rabbit once. Slipped and fell into the track- not completely but it Definitely hurt.

[@ericmi_ller]

The second drop is not the double down

[@swarm9962]

have you heard that Total Mayhem is being renamed Joker?

[@negativefloof5033]

Super Epic GAMING! Completely unrelated

[@nickitotorico6524]

Can you do of sixflags fiesta texas

[@vinniet2828]

I liked the Jack Rabbit.... only due to it's double-down/double-drop/double-dip, it's not as horribly rough as the Thunderbolt neither it is as boring as the Racer. Kennywood is my home park.

[@hugh2hoob668]

thunderbolt is rough pfft pansies

[@zachbeard9049]

You have coaster reviews and theme park reviews.....have you ever considered doing just flat ride reviews? It might bring a little different flavor to your page

[@s1lveracoustic]

Yeah, like he could review the Black Widow at Kennywood for example.

as a kid this ride is a nightmare lol

[@CoasterHorizons]

Why

[@mrasmussen90]

What do you want from a 100 year old coaster??

[@Studmuffin5201]

Just a suggestion, but in my opinion the video of the off ride footage the day before isn't necessary since its in the background of the reviewe

[@CoasterStudios]

+Zach M I understand where you're coming from, but I do do it for a reason. The reviews are geared towards the enthusiasts, and the off-rides are meant for the general public when they go searching for the coaster and want to see what it looks like, and may not be looking for a review.

[@pivotcoastervideos3551]

Offride footage should stay the way it is now because it's cool to hear the sounds of the ride/park as part of the video!

[@coasterharambe3344]

+Coaster Studios Oh yeah, the best off-ride footage on KZbin.

[@Studmuffin5201]

+Coaster Studios that makes sense and in no way am I discrediting your off ride footage because it if superior to a lot of you tubers

[@eliiacovoni7550]

when r u going to make another parody? (maverick wink wink)

[@oneandonlysound3453]

I'd do it a 8.5. It uses the terrain well which is a lot of fun, and I don't find this ride to be even remotely rough. Also, I do find the fact all of Kennywood's coasters are allegedly "iconic" to be, well, either an overrated statement built up by the gp, or Kennywood itself. To me, this is their iconic wooden roller coaster. Racer is like like any out and back coaster with two sides. I don't even get why anyone thinks "Thunderbolt" is a very good ride, that one is rough and pretty boring. I hope perhaps the meeting with RMC might either involve them doing something with Thunderbolt, Racer, or an original. Personally, I think Thunderbolt would be better off being redone or removed. But Jackrabbit is excellent, Racer could be RMCed easily I think but why not take the weak link.

[@thatoneguyjames9173]

OneAndOnlySound they can't do anything to those wooden coasters because they are national landmarks as well as the carousel.......also the thunderbolt was the fastest rollercoaster of its time so yea

[@negativefloof5033]

Thunderbolt is my 2nd favorite ride at the park, so I think they should go with an original layout, especially considering they have alot of unused land behind the racer

[@s1lveracoustic]

I'll have to disagree with you, there. I'm pretty sure the Racer is a landmark (idk) so they can't mess with it. Fine by me. Kennywood isn't really a place that major coaster enthusiasts go to. Also, I hope RMC doesn't mess with the Thunderbolt (my only problem with it is that you have to have a partner).

[@hugh2hoob668]

1974 best coaster idiot thunderbolt rules

[@bassplayer2011ify]

Racer is not an out and back its a mobius loop one of four in the world and the only one in the US.

This is my hometown park and I honestly hate this rife
