As requested, a shot of the Zipper.
I rode this beast once, back when I was a youngling. It was absolutely terrifying, but strangely I’d love to ride it again these days.
Incidentally I rode nothing at the state fair. My compatriots complained about the heat and the cost, and these things are no fun to ride alone 🙂
I remember the Zipper. I never rode it, but I remember the capsules spun freely and the jockey would give them an tremendous spin after securing the marks inside before moving onto the next capsule. The ride would take sometime to fill to capacity, so the loaded capsules would just keep spinning and spinning no doubt sickening the people inside. Once the ride started the capsules appear to spin at random. It’s not a ‘ride’ it’s torture. 🙂
Just watching it made me dizzy!
