  • lmao what fair was this at, i never got the chance to go this year

  • This ride is a combination of fun and torture! My two favorite things!

  • i love that ride! at this fair i went to, there was this green thing that i went on: even scarier than that! ahhh!!

  • Last time I went on the zipper I got puked on by someone who just ate pepperoni pizza! I never saw or found out who the puker was... disturbingly disgusting!

  • @psjester84 ewwwwwwwwwwwww

  • The simplest, scariest ride ever!

  • love this ride !! :D

  • this ride tickles me alot when i rode this

  • OMG I LOVE THT RIDE

    

  • for people with a fear of this ride dont worry, you like cant tell where you are or where is up, there is cushion and if your tall enough wont hit head on the cage

  • I love that ride so much!!!!

    For some reason I feel safest in that even though they break kinda easy.

  • I like it. It's the "Ass-Over-Teakettle" ride.

  • i've never rode the zipper... i plan to tomorrow when i go to the fair, i'm a freshman and have always had a fear for that thing

  • @silverrobe6 Are you talking about the one in Sunnyside???

  • I am looking up the Zipper ride today to let every parent out there know that this is a dangerous ride. My daughter and I had a near death experience on this ride last night. Our door opened at about 15 feet in the air as they were allowing other riders on, thank God the carnival worker noticed my blood curding screams as I was holding onto my daughter trying not to rock the basket. He reversed the ride, and let us off. If he wouldn't have noticed us, we would have died.

  • @ghostygirlmn That really is operator and inspector error there. Could happen on any ride.

  • @MissScarletMusic You are correct, it could have happened on any ride... but as I have done some research, this ride was not being operated safley by law. It was supposed to have 3 lock mechanisms, and this only had one. So before riding the Zipper, look for those locks! VERY important. Thanks for the feedback :)

  • @ghostygirlmn or you could reach out to temporarily shut the door until the carnie fixes it.

  • @Kateplus8fan I didn't want to rock the cart at ALL. Just the little bit of movement was rocking the cart... my daughter was in utter fear of falling, she completely paniced. She is only 7, if I would have let go of her to shut the door, she would have fallen out. Thanks for the feedback.

  • @ghostygirlmn i love the zipper though, at our fair its the only fun one their haha and as weird as this sounds when i rode it lastnight at my fair i was thinking comment saying the door opend and right then while on the zipper i got a call and answered and it was my friend saying she was on the cages and the door opend on her ironic isnt it?and im being dead serious

  • @Kateplus8fan OMG hun... that is scary! I wish someone would pick up the Copyright to that ride, and redo it SAFER than these old hunks of junk! I would feel much better about a lock that is a no-worry lock. These things with the momentum that they throw around is NOT SAFE for the locks that are on there.... freaky. I for one, will never ride the Zipper again untill a new one is manufactured... they have been used and abused, and just simply are not safe anymore. Wish I had a million dollars!

  • @ghostygirlmn omg thats how i feel!

  • @ghostygirlmn Come on please. I don't mean to sound like an a-hole when you nearly almost died, but because ONE ride experience from the Zipper doesn't mean that everyone out there isn't safe. It's just like saying you got in an accident with a Dodge Caravan and the airbags didn't deploy or something and claiming that all Dodge Caravan's aren't safe. Now I am no expert but on Zipper rides, there are two safety devices used to keep riders secured. One is a door and the other is a safety pin...

  • @ghostygirlmn ... Now the door does not fully lock in (that's what the safety pin is for). And if the door has a certain amount of weight pushing against it, it will open. So in this case, it was more-like the ride operators fault. The Zipper ride has been produced for over 40 years, so if there were problems with it, they would have stopped the production of them and got rid of them at Carnivals. Sorry for your near-accident, but accidents do happen, most of them being the operators fault.

  • @adamcolvin Thank you for your feedback, I did some research, this ride is no longer available for sale by the original manufacturer. You are correct, this ride is actually supposed to have 3 lock mechanisms by law ...the one I was on, had only one. I did in fact contact the Spencer Iowa Police Department after finding this law out, and the ride was shut down. My sister and her kids went there today, and she said the Zipper was not operating. Thank God.

  • I hit my face on the cage!

  • Is this ride nat at the calgary stampeed?

  • The best ride eva!

  • i LOVE this ride! i rode it at the fair for the first time this year :) (p.s. i'm 11)

  • I had loose change in my pocket:(

  • @Devilzlegacy lol srry 4 the loss....lol

  • @Devilzlegacy haha so did my brother and it hit me

  • I love this ride . Just went on it yesterday and its so fun

  • i rode this & i lovedd itt this is the one in princeton

    i rode this one! i live in princeton

  • I remember it being in Penicuik awsome ride the zipper wished it was still running now discontinued

  • i went on this ride at the dalton carnivelle it was fucking awesome i lost my shoe though

  • Just to set the record straight, the zipper is, hands down, the best "mobile" ride on the planet. It will never beat a 4 million dollar roller coaster, but for a stock ride it's unreal. As long as you:

    A) make sure you're going over the top backwards (sometimes they don't stop and go the other way)

    B) Rock the cart, and let it swing and flip.

    I've been a ride junky my whole life, and this is still the best of them all.

  • <33 ^ best.ride.ever!!

  • This ride is so fun just hold onto the bars and u won't fly around and hit ur head

  • @5602KK you wouldnt hit your head.?!

    i didnt.and i was txtin.!

  • ummm the one i was on spun faster legit

  • this ride aint scary at all you see how its flipping i never hang on the bars that inside of it, its pretty fun and while you wait for the other passengers to get on i flip it and dont have hang on you prlly think im crazy but im not its fun, wish they had it at my fair again but they dont have it anymore

  • that ride is the besst.

  • i went on the zipper and i hated it !

  • I RODE THAT SHIIIIT lol. my sister cried the whole entire ride

  • This is the most dangerous, Poorly designed ride ever the only thing that hold you in thoose cages is a bar that doesnt even keep you back in the seat. the first time i got on it I was too short and almost fell out of the damn thing.

  • @snyderfb45 its not that its really poorly designed, you just slip and move around alot because of how fast its going and the fact that and flips and stuff. But I do think that there should be some kind of seat belt thing on the seat that you buckle, because if your in there with 3 people its not fun being thrown around lol

  • @snyderfb45 So you have the ability to pass through cages?

  • @brackattack14 Yes I do are you testing my abilities!

  • i love this ride

  • I went on it and its so intense your moving so fast and holding on to the bars trying to stay in your seat. It is the best

  • It was fun. All until my phone flew out of my pocket and bashed me, bouncing around. I was at fault, though, cuz the phone wasn't secured. ;P

  • @Videoboy45 hahaha this reminds me of one time i was on this, and my friend had flipflops on and they flew off cause she was short and one hit me right in the mouth. it didnt taste so good haha

  • @shootforthestars69 Haha, what did it taste like?

  • @Videoboy45 dirty fair ground.. ew.

  • @shootforthestars69 Delish ;P.

  • i was scared to go on it at first to... but it's freaking awesome.i would definately recommend it

  • was this at the waipio carnival?

  • is this ride scary? i wanna go on it this year at the fair, but i dnt wanna chicken out....any opinions on the ride?

  • @hugzz93q its very scary..in the beginning its just about the most frightening thing imaginable...but about half way through you get used to it and its actly rly fun n not as bad. id definitley try it out

  • I slammed my head into the bars when we were flipping it and it suddenly moved :l

  • Comment removed

  • I LOVE THIS RIDE. (:

  • I'm ready to go for a world's record for the longest ride, riding the Zipper, if someone will be able to accommodate me to do this. My e-mail is bdbell1940@yahoo.com

  • this ride is amazing . best ride ever!

  • this ride is maah live <3 i could go on it all day its my FAVORITE ride in the world, theres nothin to be scared about, just dont get puked on, or dont puke at all!

  • noone is flipping me and my brother flipped it 142 times last year the carnies put us on 1st and we were last off :D we went around 17 times this years its gonna be tight

    somtimes i smoke it up with the carnies best time ever our fair is next week

  • i went on that and im only 9

  • I'm going on today. It will have been my 5th year riding it. Even after 5 years I still don't like it, but I like to go on to scare my friends! lol

  • best ride everrr

  • OMG I LOVE THIS RIDE!

  • i went on it and you do full flips u go backwards and u feel like ur going to get flung of the track and i went on and im only 11

  • Is this the red river ex?

  • i went on it and my foot got caught in part of the cage and then i was small for it and too tall so my head kept on hitting and wen it rocked ifell front and then back, never again will i go on it

  • Um, no, it's just as intense as it looks. If you get a good car, it's mid-air somersaults from start to finish. It remains my favorite amusement ride of all time. My favorite part is when it looks like you are golng to take a sudden massive face plant into the pavement.... priceless

  • now that zipper has got some speed to it ..i can tell

  • I went on this 6 times! I did front flips and back flips! It was fun!!

  • its scarry wen yhu go forwards but when yhu go backwards yhu dnt feel nuthn it feels kool

  • been on this yesterday, the 36o`s are amazing

  • This ride was torture....Never. going. on . it. again. It was fun at first... but then it got to much for me... I kept screaming "STOP THE RIDE! LET ME OUT!" I'm only 11 for goodness sakes :3 no one listened. wah xD

  • i went on that O__O Scary

  • @CutePunkyGal DUUUUDEEE!!!! im so scared and im at home watching it!!!

  • @CutePunkyGal e.e

  • this ride z so scary im going this year agian but last year i was rocking the shit and my friends were fuking screaming so i told them calm the fuk down we neva even get starting yet....

  • THAT RIDE was fun i want one in my backyardz

  • this ride z so fun the first time i went on it it was scary as hell but u hit your head all ova the place

  • the scary thing is there isnt one of those harness thingo's that go over your chest, your just sittin there, and theres vertical metal bars that you can hold onto. its more scary then it looks

  • @snozberries01 i know and i got hurt sometimes cuz wen u go up side down u hurt your legs...

  • i dont know u guys but the front flip was scarier for me

  • @jonhwolf I didnt go backflip, thank god. i wouldve lost it, but yeah, the front flip was scary xD

  • @queenofsingin99 Surprisingly, the backflips aren't as bad as the frontflips.

  • @SuperBluehacker Not with me. I can't handle backflips. xD

  • It is on Expo Quebec (Canada)

  • i was there

  • I've done a 9x bacflip on that thing. Awesome!

  • i've been....not scary lol

  • I REMEMBER THAT but they took it away for the last 2 years it sucks now lol that was the best ride ever! itwas so damn scary! lol

  • i went on this ride trust me you get pushed around like crazy you sometimes hit your head inside the cart when you go upsidedown with low g's andif your lucky like me on the day i went on, you could get an free ride i hate this ride and the guys did't get us out till the 2nd time

  • A TOUT LE MONDE QUI REGARDÉ CETTE VIDEO,

    Ca va ROCKER SOLIDE les filles!!!

  • is this at kumeu ?

  • omg this is like my favorite ride!!!!!

  • thats kinda scary

  • This scared the crap out of me. All there is to keep you in your seat is a bar on the door. Otherwise you'll fall all over. And the only thing keeping the door shut is a bolt.

  • is this at play  land?

  • monce

  • ¿Monse? A esta cochinada no vuelvo a subir ni loco... Es de lo peor... Al ratito ya quieres bajarte...

  • jajajaja. trankilo lennomMGP, la verdad si da vertigo , pero ase falta u poco mas de.. nose

  • @revolver583 jejeje, sip pes, en especial cuando llega a toda velocidad a los extremos... Falta de advertencia, creo jaja... si me decían que era así, gastaba mis cuatro soles en un sanguchón ;)

  • jajaja tienes razon, jejej cuando llega a los extremos es fatal... la cabina en donde te metes se da vuelta bien feo y alli te ganas de ... parece que tefueras a estrellar contra el suelo ps , buena lennonMGP

  • this probably looks alot less intense than it is, doesnt it.....i've never been on one, and i'm kind of interested, so im doing some research to find out whether or not i will die.....proverbially speaking

  • you're spun around a lot. it would be intense if you're not into being jostled around or if you can't take a lot of flipping and spinning.

  • in this case i should probably start out on rides that only flip you like once or twice to get used to it first then eh?

  • @suzzie I can't take alot of spinning or flipping but I love this ride, being whiped around in your cage HAHA GOOD TIMES

  • @rustybirdcage Well, atfirst it isn't that bad, but once they get the ride going, there can be a harsh course of intense spinning. Then it's alot funner. :D

  • @rustybirdcage it is waay more intense than this loks, last year when i wenton it at the top i did about 4 or 5 flips in a row

  • @rustybirdcage I Just Rode it 25 minutes ago and I'm not used to big rides like these but the fair I went to had their Zipper going WAYYY Faster than this..

  • @rustybirdcage you'd be find... you would just have to hold on tight to the bar, it also depends on the weight in the cage for how many times you flip.

  • @rustybirdcage Actually it's more intense than it looks. I've been on it so I speak from experience.

  • too bad the zipper is not higher or faster. it would b better, and more fun. :)

  • i went on this for the first time ever at a small fair in bolboa, i was a little too short and my butt slid off the chairs and my face was like smushed against the fence thing and against the wall. IT WAS TITAKKY AWSOME! lool i thought id die! icant wait to go again at the del mar fair! lol amazing ride, i <3 it

  • I just went on one and when i was freefalling upside-down my cart thing started spinning...it was hellish!

  • i went on that for the first time this summer it was intence it was amazimg

  • I love this ride..And at night its way faster! :]
