Zipper

The Zipper is one of the most iconic and exhilarating rides on the midway. Riders are seated in individual compartments attached to a large rotating boom that travels at approximately 4 revolutions per minute. While the ride's speed may seem moderate at first, the real excitement begins as each compartment reaches the ends of the oblong frame, where sudden changes in motion send riders flipping head over heels. The boom itself rotates at 7.5 revolutions per minute in the same direction, creating a unique combination of movements. This dual rotation ensures that no two rides are ever exactly the same, delivering an unpredictable, high-energy experience that thrill-seekers won't soon forget.
