The Zipper

 The Zipper is a well known thrill carnival ride, it is considered to be one of the most fun and "scary" rides at a carnival/fair. The ride has a height requirement of 48" minimum to be able to ride and does now allow single riders. Each carriage in the ride can hold 2-3 riders at a time. There are a total of 12 carriages on the Zipper and the rotate a full 360 degrees while the ride itself is also spinning at 360, midway through the ride, it slows to a partial stop before swinging the carriages back in reverse. I chose to post about this ride in particular because it is the very first thrill ride I have ever been on and to this day remains one of my all time favorites. I highly recommend this ride for any beginner thrill seekers. I do recommend getting on with someone similar in size and height because when the door to the carriage closes, the bar will only go as far in as the biggest rider. I say this because my son and my godson rode together (as you can see on the TikTok video) and Izzy was not too happy about the way he was able to slide around in the carriage during the ride. I give the Zipper a thumbs up and 10/10 for carnival thrill rides. Izzy gave it a thumbs down and does nit recommend as an 8 year old 73 pounder.
