lol i can say i dont ride carny rides... coming from a family that was all in the carnival i know how easy it is for someone to fuck up while putting the rides up
Most of your bigger carnival organizations have their own inspectors of the their rides, where in turn these rides are also inspected by the state. I've seen this at the opening of the Florida State Fair. I know that the Zipper at this fair is inspected daily, but not only is the ride inspected, but the operators have to be certified and that's to insure a safe ride. I really like the zipper and when I do ride it , I notice the triple locks and the pin that secures the doors.
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 I know there have been accidents of this nature before, and as a result, all Zippers have triple locks on the doors, including a steel R pin. The ride is built to be safe. Operator negligence is the only reason why your door could have opened. I am glad you and your daughter are safe. File a lawsuit against the carnival.
I would really like to break my own record of riding the Zipper for one hour plus and attempt to go for three to four hours and ride on one where the operator can spin the tubs from the control panel, and spin it a minimum of 250 times in the shortest time. That would be a real awesome ride. If amybody can accommodate me on this, I'm ready to do it. My e-mail is bdbell1940@yahoo.com
I've set-up, operated, torn-down, and maintained a Zipper, for an amusement company. It is the best ride out there. You can toggle the brakes, and make any car you wish spin like crazy (although the company will deduct 20 from your paycheck, every time you get caught jogging the controls) I had one Tub spin almost 100 times in 2 minutes, and they couldn't stand up, and fell when I opened the Tub to let them out. LOL good times. Also I can't count the phones that fell off it, or knifes and money
i go 2 the glenn county fair(fun fair) i ride this ride like 14 times everytime it comes out. there should be vids of glenn county fair. next time i go, ill take like maybe 2 vids of it.
@kennethoes The Zipper thing is built in Wchita, KS by Chance Morgan. It is a portable ride that several different carnivals own. If you live in the US, just go to a fair or big event with rides and you may see one.
its not scary but my phone flew out of my pocket so when we went upside down it flew to the top of the cage at i was trying to get it i ended up getting it but i though t my phone was a goner
i dont know when this ride 1st came out 97 98 it was fun but I dont know eather the carnival I went to had the bad one or what but it is no longer fun, it not as fast a it used to be and most of the cages dont flip even if you tried your hardest it still wont move
i went on this when i was younger with a friend who was terrified of rides..she kept screaming "roundoff back handspring back tuck" the whole time lol
I rode it when I was 8, slipped up passt the padding and hit my head off of the cage now I am terrified! But, Ill eventually ride it again... like mabye in like a week, its been 6 years! So I think I am okay to ride it again.
ONCE my brother and my dad went on, and my brother slipped out of the bars and was about to go head first into the cage, my dad had to grab him and hold him while it was turning upside down, thank god my brother and dad is okay, the guy walked away and left them there when they were screaming stop.
Nu Uh I Would Vomet.. U C How It Flipssssss and Flips Over and Over agen...And Pluz Im ClastaPhobic, I Hate being it tight plACES, BEiNG lOCKD Up in a cage.. Haha Yeah Rite. I was about to go on it once, But i Started Screaming, so the man let me out.
dude so thers this carnival that comes around once a year were i live and i went on this like 40 /8 times and it was awesome 2 bad the lines for it r like 40 minutes each
yes! quite a bit. it really depends on which car you are in and which position your car is in as the boom rotates. cars rounding the top with almost always flip once, twice, or even the whole length of the boom to the other side. very fun thought C=
back n the day the speed was 11 rpm mph up til the late 80's then the speed was lowered to 7rpm.I rode the zipper in the mid 80's when the speed was 11rpm & it was no joke, u went forwards & backwards.
I j=kinda like the ride but I hate when u face down! And once it was my first ride and I stayed on like 10 minutes HORROR! its ok only for a few minutes
these have been around since the late 60s, and they still beat anything that has ever come out today in terms of intensity. aparently they've slowed them down these days, makes you wonder how extreme they were back in the day.
i went on the sipper with my friend when we had the fair where i live and we went on it and of how light weight we were we would spin around like crazy and when we went backwords we went super i mean really supper crazy and same with the front way to but it was fun it looked scary but once we went on it it seemed fun then but my friend and i both injoyed it!!! a hole bunch we were glad we went on it!!!!!!!
Please if someone knows where I can find it, tell me. I really miss the zipper and its loopings!!! I'm from Quebec and there is no zipper anymore at the park...
scary, I'm too chicken to go on it,lol. Please don't make fun of me, I jsut don't like rides like that. But it is cool to watch the people scream,haha.~ ;D
True, but Is till don't have the guts to go on it, I'd prob freak out! I once heard of a person that went on the ride and actually fell out of it and died! ;/
Last year in regina while it was running a wheel fell off but it wasnt a too important part and everyone was fine and they just fixed it and ran it agai xD
omg. i love this freaking ride. me and my frinds are going to go to the carnival tomorow night. and thats mainly what we go there for. im 12 and im not afraid of it!!
Last year one of the cart's pin fell off (so the cart opened), so a little kid of like 9 years old had to go to the hospital he broke his 2 legs poor kid :S
