Cole Shows Amusement Co. Inc. ~ All your favorite Carnival Rides, Games and Food ~ Zipper

The Zipper is the standard measuring stick to which all other "scary"
rides are measured - if you can handle two and a half minutes on the
Zipper, you can handle any other ride on a carnival midway!!
This ride is lean and mean.

The Zipper's 12 passenger cages are all about practicality - just large
enough to encase two human bodies - side by side. - Not for the
weak-hearted, certainly not for the claustrophobic!.

Each cage rotates freely on an off-centre axis, while the cages move
around the main boom at 4 rpm. While this is happening, the whole
boom rotates on its own axis. This creates a completely chaotic, totally
un-natural ride pattern - flipping riders with maximum force, while their
knuckles are white - instinctively gripping onto the rungs …for dear life!
Definitely not something to take your grandma on!

No carnival is complete without a Zipper - no ride even slightly
resembles it - it's truly unique and it will always hold a space in any
carnival of the future. It's not exactly fun for the whole family, but it will
always appeal to a strong minority regular riders.
Brave the Zipper with Cole Shows Amusement Company!
