HISTORY: On October 28th 1919, John A. Miller received a patent for his invention of under-friction
technology on railway structures. The following year (1920) Miller and Baker Inc. constructed the Jack
Rabbit at Seabreeze. The under-friction technology kept the cars secured to the tracks. Roller coaster
designers began using this technology to incorporate more thrilling ride features like steeper hills, faster
speeds, and stronger negative g forces.

“This coming season, the Jack Rabbit will celebrate 100 years of roller coaster thrills. It’s been providing
fantastic family fun since 1920! The Jack Rabbit holds a place of honor in amusement park history, as the
oldest continuously operating roller coaster in America. It’s also the first coaster ever to feature under-

and awesome negative g-forces.”
