The picture you post certainly seems tough
And the ride itself seems to me it rides quite rough!

But I have a guess, although its a stretch
I'll have to ask this of you, while I know it may not be quite so....uh true?..
  Is this Big Dipper?

Which Big Dipper?  If you mean the one in Huntington, WV, it most certainly isn't...

Looks somewhat like the Clementon Park Jack Rabbit.

No scooby doo and no Jack Rabbit

Clue # 2
I have never ridden this coaster but I have walked on it and in the park it's located at.
My mom has been on it when she was a kid.

Okay, this is a longshot but is it the Jack Rabbit/Screem Machine that operated in Wildwood?  (under various park names)

You are correct young skywalker  :)
A 1/4 mile off route 80  exit 262 so if your passing by stop and take a look click link below:
http://tinyurl.com/ytlmm9

Near Hazelton PA. (south of Scranton) Drums, Pennsylvania
my mom grew up a few miles from the park and had great stories of it.
I walked in the park years ago  it's now closed.  :-[
It's so sad to see all these old parks that once was, many in PA and Ohio (close to 2000 parks about 60-80 years ago)

Angela Park was an amusement park located near Hazelton, Pennsylvania. The park operated from 1956 to 1989, when many of the buildings were razed. Today, the former park serves as a training field for Lackawanna County policemen.

The park's sole roller coaster, the "Valley Volcano." Designed by John C. Allen, the coaster is nearly identical to Wyandot Lake's Sea Dragon and the Hunts pier Flyer. During the last few seasons, the park changed the number of cars operating on this coaster, as proven with photographs that show the ride with four, three, and two cars on the train.
