Located just outside Rochester, New York is Sea Breeze amusement park. This small amusement park is home to one of the oldest rollercoasters in the entire world, the Jackrabbit.

The Jackrabbit was first built in 1920 and has run every single year since then. It is the oldest continuous-running rollercoaster in the country and the 4th oldest rollercoaster in the county.

The Jackrabbit was built to work around the geography of the land around it. It has over 2000 feet of track and the first drop of the coaster is 75 feet. A tunnel was added to the track in 1928.

Seabreeze Amusement Park is currently open for the season. Normal business hours change depending on the day.
