I remember riding one of these at a local fair, back when phones still had removable batteries mine flew out of my pocket through the grate! Found it 50 ft from the ride after I got off. Phone still worked! Good times
This is one of the most terrifying rides ever. It looks like you are going to slam hard into the ground below. It was WAY scarier than I ever imagined.
I went on it on on my fair. I literally screamed on the top of my lungs and almost peed my pants. I was riding with my dad and it was my first time this year now that I think about it and think I’m gonna write it again next year.
I use to be afraid of this ride until last oct. My friend came up with a way to get me on it. It was oct and halloween. She dared me to wear one of her outfits and ride this ride. ( outfit was her leather leggings , a silk top , her leather jacket and a pair of her leather boots ) so wearing her outfit i walked up to ride and got on and locked in. The ride started and i was scared. Friend said focus on her clothes on me. I did and did ride.
The story of my experience on the zipper: My uncle has a weak stomach and he didnt want to go on with me, even though you litteraly HAVE to go this someone. So I ended up going with someone random that I didnt even know. I have an extremely strong stomach from playing VR roller coaster games, and going on rides somewhat similar to the zipper. Even though i was strapped in and held onto the bars infront of me, I got flung around ALOT. I tryed to use my feet and hands to stop me, i just pressed my feet firmly againts the bottom of the cage and held onto the bars firmly. It helped a bit (kind it just hurt my toes) I got off of it, feeling dizzy (a feeling i bearly ever get from rides) and Rust all over my legs(cuz i pressed my feet against the bottom of the cage and the cage rubbed against my legs) and a small cut??? (Idk how the cut got there but it was bleeding) it was alright, i didnt really enjoy it as much as i thought i would, mildly terrifying. My friend was cheering me on, down by the entrance because she has been on it so many times. But yeah I layed down in the grass after cuz my legs gave up working for 5 minutes.
so good. i went on a dupe of the zipper and it spins just like it and I went on it with my cousin, we were upside down and butterflies just filled my stomach, i was in disbelief whilst looking down at the ground. i looked to my side and my cousin was passed out. it was a crazy ride. 10/10
i once saw one of the wheels break and the chain break and just you know a couple loose screws they where repairing it for 2hours that is why i am never going on the zipper
i only have zipper, stamped, avalanche, zero gravity, ferris wheel (2nd scariest ride i was on😭) and kites and swings. ghen the little kids rides but yeah. A 6 YEAR OLD WENT ON THE ZIPPER WITH HER DAD😭
Back In 1999 i was waiting in line for the zipper at our city fair. I've never been scared Of any rides except for the zipper....so i decided i waa gonna conquer it.. Man they were loading people on that ride and one guy fell out and landed on the grass as they spun it to load the next people. That Traumatized me. I will never get on that ride. Give Me any roller coaster, I've been sky diving and everything....but i will NEVER get on that death trap called the zipper😂😂😂 The guy that fell was seemingly okay. The ambulance came and i only had a broken wrist.
Being on them things freak me the fuck out. Just imagine being up in the sky at night flipped up side down and looking at the floor. Im such a baby. LMAO
i love th3 zipper, only the zipper we usually get at my cities summer fair ig is WAY MORE UPDATED FOR THE CARTS- like over the shoulder restraints and stuff, i mean it still makes all the god awful sounds but alas
I love the ride but can never fully enjoy it because my brain tells me the door isn't latched properly or something. It sucks to be an anxiety ridden thrill seeker. 😩
Rode it in the early '70's. Sickest I have ever been. Since then I have looked into it and people have been killed on this ride because all of your weight is on the door! I think maybe it has been updated since then. I knew it was dangerous.
I rode this when I was in high school. Never even thought twice about when they’d have to close it to fix something. I’d never let my kids on the sketchy carnival rides now though 😅
Story time!!! I rode this over 10 times in a row with my cousins and brother. It was terrifying, but we loved it. One of my cousins banged her head and passed out, still we continued to ride it. At the end of the night we made the mistake of riding on it one last time. We went to Wendy's after leaving the fair, I was so dizzy and nautious I could hardly eat. I was about 9 or 10. It was very fun, but I would never go on it now. 😂
Haha. In highschool my school had a carnival week end. I went in the zipper with my best friend and the worker locked our car from the OUTSIDE so fhat we'd be upside down at the top. Then he left us up there fir awhike. Men... Normally you can control the zipoer from inside, nakye it spin around or hold it pretty steady
