One of the strangest carnival rides ever invented – but also a lot of fun!

The zipper was scary for me I almost flew out to heaven on that

Just the sound of this is bringing back fond memories of when I was teenager in the 90's. The fair was the last big summer event before school started. Going on The Zipper after sneakily drinking a few beers underage and not vomiting was almost a rite of passage for us.

I made my mom ride this with me and she didn’t want to because she said her back was hurting but because I’m an only child she went on the ride with me. When we got off the ride she said her back pain was gone!

The Zipper us the most unique traveling ride ever, Nothing today is like
It's no county fair without one.

I went on this for the first time last night, loved and I can still hear that roar

[NeroBaelside]

Those cages shake and rattle like crazy. This ride felt like a death trip to Silent Hill for me

I rode this shit 20 years ago. Glad to see it's still scarring people life.

I was in charge of The Zipper ride for 2 years back in he early 1990s. I and cleaned the ride, as well as drive it from show to show(without getting an overweight ticket and before Google Maps and the internet in general was a thing). I had a blast for those 2 years.

I almost got my boss in trouble one time cause of a loud mouth kid yelling at me saying "I'll NEVER puke during this ride" right after my ride assistant just hosed out a car from another kid puking.

I made sure I was the one to load the loud mouth kid in with his buddy and I whispered to him "Your NOT getting off this ride until you puke." Kept him on for like 3 shorter than normal ride cycles until he and his buddy puked. Then I personally let him out and watched him scream all the way to the office while laughing and hosing out the bucket again.. Boss came out and we denied any coullison in the matter. It all want away with a few free ride tickets. Boss laughed at me after it was all over and just said "Don't do it again" while he was walking away laughing.

This is my favorite ride of all time I just love the sound it makes

[RiverPreps]

Just watching this made my brain remember the smell of the ride. Old metal and rust, gasoline, that vinyl smell of the padded seat, sweat and various carnival foods wafting by.

When I went on it I was literally yelling “mom please help” 😂

[malcorub]

I'm 40 years old and my head still hurts from the last time I rode this at 14 years old.

I used to go on this as a kid in the early 80's. Loved it.

[kaitlynwinslow]

I didn't want to go on this ride at first and then my friend made me go on it and i love it i was thanking her for making me go on that ride lol

[tanmaxwell]

I got on this thing ONE TIME - and vowed never to again! I lost the coins in my pocket, and almost had a heart attack.😵‍💫

[JLee-lmeo]

My mother rode one of these while she was pregnant with me (unbeknownst to her at the time). I blame it for my vertigo issues, lol. Totally illogical, I know, but it's the excuse I'm sticking to.

I LOVE THIS RIDE. Before boarding this ride, you'd better take a few Dramamine tablets for motion sickness.

[THXx]

This 'ride" is a sadistic nightmare.

[TheLPSGirl]

Honestly, I just got off the ride not too long ago and it was my first time, with my sister, and I’ll say it’s not as bad as it looks because it reminds me of a Ferris Wheel ride gone wrong, which seems like a nightmare but in reality you’re just experiencing real adrenaline.
