Jumbo Jet was manufactured by notable roller coaster designer Anton Schwarzkopf, and was the first of the Jet Star 3 model in the Jumbo Jet line.
The coaster was located in the same beachfront location where a wooden roller coaster called Cyclone once stood before.
It was also the location that housed the now-defunct Disaster Transport, an indoor roller coaster, as well as the location where GateKeeper stands presently.
While at Cedar Point, Jumbo Jet carried between 1.6 and 1.8 million passengers every year.
Jumbo Jet was eventually replaced in 1979 by the new WildCat coaster.
Although Jumbo Jet was only at Cedar Point for a short time, the roller coaster subsequently moved to a number of different amusement parks, including Palace Playland in Maine, Malmö Folkets Park in Sweden, Beoland in Russia, Dreamland in Belarus, and its present location of Chelyuskintsev Park also located in Belarus.
