A trip to Idora today confirmed that the destruction of the Jack Rabbit is final. Interestingly, the lift hill components are not there. The chain, flywheel, belt, and all other large components of the wheel house are gone. Has any one heard any rumors about them? It didn't register last week, but the flywheel was gone apparently before the coaster was destroyed. The chain however was still in the rubble at that time, but is missing now.
The "little house" in the Wildcat is still standing, as is the Icee stand and the Idora (bingo)/muffin game building and the restroom behind it. The heavy equipment is still on the site so we can assume these buildings will likely fall as well
My wife and I drove to the park today (8/7)and everything is now down. I can't express all the emotions that we felt as we watched the "yellow devil" beltching black smoke as it moved on the corpse of the Jackrabbit. As we pulled away my wife cried knowing our kids won't have the enjoyment that we had and that it was truly gone now. Like a funeral of a very dear family member this unfortunity was the closure for us. In my own way I wish I had been more of an avocate for "our neighborhood park" R.I.P I-Dora you gave many people happy life-long memories that can't be taken
I don't know what that guy is talking about. I just went to the park and all the coasters are up and running. Everything was tip top, all this fire business is just a bunch of rumor and propaganda. I had a great time, i'm going back soon.
