Do you know the name of this 1940 Coaster Model?,

THE ROLLER COASTER WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1945-1947. IT IS AN EXACT RELICA OF A WOODEN ROLLER COASTER, AND MODELED AFTER A ROLLER COASTER IN OHIO, PA, OR CALIF. IT WAS A PART OF A COMPLETE AMUSEMENT PARK. THE BUILDER WAS FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

CAN ANYBODY KNOW THE NAME OF IT OR THE PARK?

appears to be a side friction coasters, but thats all i can really depict from the picture.

from futher examination it seems to be a relativly same model as Runaway Coaster @ Funland but mirrored http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery862.htm

NO NEED FOR ALL CAPITAL LETTERS AS WE ALL CAN READ JUST FINE IN NORMAL LETTERS SO PLEASE TRY TO WRITE IN normal sized letters.

Is that yours? and does it work? that's awesome what do the other rides in the set look like?

Could that be Leap-the-dips, just an exaggerated version.

My guess is that it is Funk's Forest Park... if not then leap the dips.

"It may be a model from a park around Youngstown Ohio, I think the spelling is Idora Park. And I was told it look like a wooden roller coaster in a park around Pittsburgh Pa. Also I had a friend that saw one like it in Calf. It was made in either Perkasie or Perkieomen Pa. [ not sure of the spelling ] I hope this is of help to you. I will try to find out more and e-mail if I do"

could be the original Jack Rabbit, before it was renovated and had a layout change
