"Kennywood Breaks Record For Decoration Day Crowds"
[Dateline Pittsburgh, Pa., June 3.] "Fifty thousand dollars worth of joy" is the name applied to the new Jack Rabbit Aerial Coaster, just opened at Kennywood. A dizzy drop of eighty-five feet provides thrills for the most inured, and swift trains carry thousands of persons up the steep summits and down the precipitous inclines. The Jack Rabbit was designed by the Miller & Baker Company, and was built under the personal direction of Charles Mach, mechanical superintendent of Kennywood.
