Harry C. Baker

@Djyueng: About a year ago, you added the "Miller and Baker Inc. 1923 Catalogue" as a source for the manufacturer being Harry C. Baker. I was just wondering if you could please double check the source to see if it was this Kennywood coaster? Another source claims the Kennywood ride was manufactured by Charlie Mach. According to RCDB there were two other coasters that opened in 1920 named Jack Rabbit, both manufactured by Harry C. Baker: Jack Rabbit (Seabreeze) and one at Natatorium Park. I'm thinking maybe your source was actually referring to one or both of those. Themeparkgc Talk 01:07, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Themeparkgc:Sorry that I didn't see this until now! Yes, page 44 of the 1923 catalogue lists "Jack Rabbit, Kennywood Park, Pittsburgh, Pa." in a list that is preceded by this text: The past three seasons substantiate the success of Mr. Miller's inventions and designs in the following partial list of Miller & Baker, Inc., Coasters erected ruring that period and operated most successfully and profitably by their various owners:"Djyueng Talk 09:42, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
