The mother is so calm...oh something fell off the ride...I would have been hysterical..God Bless her for being so laid back. I wish I could be more like her.
I would be terrified if my child was on it. You ain’t her. That ain’t normal to be too calm if your child is on ride these types of rides. That’s just insane.
i went on it and its the funnest thing ever, but if u feel like that look for a newer model of the zipper cause that one that they went on it super old
I was so scared to ride the Zipper. When I was in the 5th grade my friends pushed me up to ride it. And, Omg after my first ride, I have actually rode it a few more times. And the best part is when the cars reach the end tip to flip outwards it’s a slight little free fall like feeling that makes you laugh. Don’t be scared to try it. You got this!!!
If you don’t like the feeling of being inside a washing machine then I do not recommend it. The whole time I thought I was in a washing machine and I was about to die
@@ttraves1978 Interesting fact, that laugh i believe is caused by adrenaline! your body doesn't know how to reasonably react to what kind of forces you're feeling so you laugh. Don't quote me on this I may be incorrect but that's what I think happens
It’s the wheels on the cable that drive the cages around the boom. It’s actually quite common in zippers, they gotta b replaced . The ride will not fall apart. As you can see they still could control the ride. To let them off. Actually a lot of zipper operators are more worried about it happening and it hitting someone on the ground. That’s what can make it dangerous. It wouldn’t kill someone but would hurt like a mf 🤣🤣
The same thing happened on the first night the fair came to my town and firefighters had to rescue the people in it, thankfully they got it fixed by the next day
So from watching it and having knowledge of rides it looks like something popped off the gears in the back that move the ride Not a catastrophe just a minor issue. These things happen with big machines. Sometimes little pieces need fixing but not all of them are major malfunctions
I do not get on rides that go up in the air and/or make my feet go over my head. I like to stay on terra firma. I do like to ride the Round-Up. The centrifugal force keeps you safely in one place plus you're strapped in.
You wouldn't say they overreacted if one of the carriages fell off. My uncle was watching a Ferris wheel and a girl and boy at the top were swinging the seat and it fell down and they were both killed instantly.
I remember 1 year at the fair....The door popped open on one of the cars....Sending a young girl flying from the top as the car flipped over......She was killed instantly in front of a horrified crowd of onlookers waiting in line... It was the last time I ever thought about riding The Zipper
Wait! Glen Bernie Maryland??? I used to go to this carnival when i was in middle school going into high school. I havent gone since then, but wish to revist some of my favorite rides. But mostly Street Fighter.
The units in bad condition are probably the ones that either don't get regular maintenance, or the parts are repaired utilizing in-house methods, or from obtaining cheap, third party, non-OEM components that will fail faster...
luckily nothing major popped out since it was just the wheel if I was on it and knew what popped out and what that ride would do if it popped out I would not be that scared because all that would happen is the ride stop
@@dawnreis7752 Lmao had a mishap with a zipper near me where the forgot to bolt on part of the metal ring on the ride and it fell off mid ride,, not serious went on it 30 minutes later after they fixed it.
Well... the zipper is a very fun but old ride, the company stoped selling parts for zippers. Now they are kinda a little rusty. But still a very fun ride
last time I was on the zipper it bruised my upper thighs and someone had scratched a kid's name and a date in the inner wall, claiming that was the one a kid fell out of. not a fun experience.
Haha!! Sorry to laugh, But I was laughing at the bolt popping off and it bounced off the ride, Then the ride was OVER... lasted less than a minute Lol!

she probably didnt want the kid to freak out
I would be terrified if my child was on it. You ain’t her. That ain’t normal to be too calm if your child is on ride these types of rides. That’s just insane.
My dad makes jokes about his every day saying "they are still looking for the missing wheel". I never thought it would actually come true.
@??? I don’t think he did
@??? pg3d your right it’s made up
The zipper always looks rusty, I don't trust it enough to ever go on it
i went on it and its the funnest thing ever, but if u feel like that look for a newer model of the zipper cause that one that they went on it super old
I actually went on it! it was so scary me and my friend thought we were going to die but thank god we didnt lmao but it was fun.
That’s because they stopped selling parts for the zipper
The Zipper is still being made and sold.

I recommend going on the one in Puyallup fair. It's white and I believe pink and green.
I love the whirring sound the zipper makes when it is running. I love to watch the ride, but I’ve never ridden it myself.

Omg same, that’s what makes this so fun to watch, and it’s in almost every fair

This one, the Kamikaze and the Ring of Fire all have sounds that remind me of going to the carnival as a kid.

0:47 you could see it near the top middle of the screen
I feel something that’s metal
Then it falls down the screen
Maybe it's someone Threw Something from up there
@@bludthinkhecoolAshley why are you everywhere 😭
This is not what I needed to see since I’m going on it tomorrow
did you go to the luxton fair?
madison sahlstrom NOpe! But I went on this ride 14 times!
jaimee is it good? I wanted to go on it but my cousin refused to, and it looks spooky tbh
Everybody 48 yesss it’s so fun, first times scary but it gets more and more fun
jaimee maybe I’ll get to go on it after this summer when this is all over 😔
That whooshing sound it makes is terrifying.
Looked like a pice of cable drive had to much stress. No clue though! Very scary! For sure!!😧
It’s the wheels on the cable that drive the cages around the boom. It’s actually quite common in zippers, they gotta b replaced . The ride will not fall apart.

@@naughtiasteffano9885 Interesting. Very educational.👍🛠
This was my favorite ride as a teen. I would never trust it now.
The same thing happened on the first night the fair came to my town and firefighters had to rescue the people in it, thankfully they got it fixed by the next day
Omg that's scary. Looks like a cable snapped. Or a bolt came off of it..
Not the cable, but it’s nothing catastrophic
Time stamp?
This is why I've never dared to go on The Zipper, plus looks like you'd have major whiplash for days
I’m kind of afraid to rid them now. I once seen a door pop right open before it got started good.
It's one of the wheels that it attached to the cabin here 1:05 on the right, 2nd from the bottom. The wheel detaches at 0:45 while it's at top, right.
So from watching it and having knowledge of rides it looks like something popped off the gears in the back that move the ride
Not a catastrophe just a minor issue. These things happen with big machines.
Sometimes little pieces need fixing but not all of them are major malfunctions
Yeah. Nothing major.
Yeah could easily be fixed
0:48 you can hear something break and a chunk of the mechanism go flying up in the air, then hit again as it goes back down.
I do not get on rides that go up in the air and/or make my feet go over my head. I like to stay on terra firma. I do like to ride the Round-Up. The centrifugal force keeps you safely in one place plus you're strapped in.
The Round Up I ride has a siren on it 😂
Wow that was the shortest ride ever
Woah I’m never going to that ride ever again
Just because of a rare accident?
valen vvehicle
Yes
Lol it’s not anything catastrophic
Bruh nobody even got injured
Ive been in that ride yesterday 10 times and loved moving the zipper to scare my friends, i love when people overreact.
Bagelz R Gewd same I was on it today and scared tf out of my friend😂

@@PlasticGirl65 well i say *YOLO*
@@cirrus3207 I'd like to live a bit longer though, plus rides like that make me vomit.
Well that’s was cool
I’m so lucky I had the choice between this and the Starship 9000
Loved the zipper growing up at the se texas fair in Beaumont tx
I am going to operate the zipper ride for this year's fair
I remember 1 year at the fair....The door popped open on one of the cars....Sending a young girl flying from the top as the car flipped over......She was killed instantly in front of a horrified crowd of onlookers waiting in line...
It was the last time I ever thought about riding The Zipper
This is the exact drawing of the "Cranium Shaker" ride from Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
That was like a 30 second ride! Ripped off.
Wait! Glen Bernie Maryland??? I used to go to this carnival when i was in middle school going into high school. I havent gone since then, but wish to revist some of my favorite rides. But mostly Street Fighter.
One you get off the zipper, it always feels weird to touch the ground again.
i went on this a couple days ago and prly gonna go on it today so wish me luck XD
My cousin puked with us in this ride way back in the mid 70's. It was not pleasant
The units in bad condition are probably the ones that either don't get regular maintenance, or the parts are repaired utilizing in-house methods, or from obtaining cheap, third party, non-OEM components that will fail faster...
Only they get off and at the end you could see the ride start up again they didn’t even get a chance to ride it
I’m pretty sure they were letting the ride run to either test it or get other people off
luckily nothing major popped out since it was just the wheel if I was on it and knew what popped out and what that ride would do if it popped out I would not be that scared because all that would happen is the ride stop
I love the zipper ride
The seat pods on this one look kinda stiff, they don't move around so easily
They probably forgot to put some grease or oil and maybe some necessary bolts and screws...lol
@@dawnreis7752 Lmao had a mishap with a zipper near me where the forgot to bolt on part of the metal ring on the ride and it fell off mid ride,, not serious went on it 30 minutes later after they fixed it.
It’s a millennium zipper, the tubs are much heavier so don’t rock as much
I look at that ride and I'm like "hmmm it's the one ride from diary of a Wimpy kid"
It was the other way around, read diary of a wimpy kid and I was like, that’s the ride from my local fair
Me before I watch all the video: all right not so bad
Me after i see it gets stuck: welp looks like we’re not going on the zipper again
Well... the zipper is a very fun but old ride, the company stoped selling parts for zippers. Now they are kinda a little rusty. But still a very fun ride
They’re actually still being made and serviced by the original manufacturer, Chance Rides in the US.
OMG a big chunk of ride fell off sounds safe
i went on this like 15 times at a different carnival 🎡
Zipper more like whipper
It's like the one sapphire told on her channel
i went on it bro we got stuck for 10 min! because somone threw up lol
Well the important thing is at least no one got hurt
IT WAS A BOLT THAT FELL OFF
That’s why you don’t go in pop up fair rides!! No way! They don’t inspect their rides no fair does!
Very false but okay
Looked and sounded like a forgotten mech shop project...kudos to the mom tho
last time I was on the zipper it bruised my upper thighs and someone had scratched a kid's name and a date in the inner wall, claiming that was the one a kid fell out of. not a fun experience.
I'm pretty sure an engineer could figure out what that was but I am not an engineer
0:09 *zibber!!*
This one is scarier than mine
Well...that sucks! 😔
aw hell nah I rode this thing like 8 times a few weeks ago
I give it a 10/10 at Scariness
This looks like it’s from
Diary of a wimpy kid book!
NOOO I went on the zipper if that happened I’d cry
I’ve been on this 4 times I’m never going again
Alex why? 😂
Pretty Nini I passed out all 4...
SkyXoXo LMAOO I almost fell when I got off I literally felt drunk
You know you want to....😉
The operator stopped it
They were lucky to get 1 flip before it broke down.
I saw something fall out and it stops right after it fell out
Haha!! Sorry to laugh, But I was laughing at the bolt popping off and it bounced off the ride, Then the ride was OVER... lasted less than a minute Lol!
En el " 1.24 algo se calló y el maquinista ni pelota qué le dio ja ja ja siguió dando vueltas qué irresponsable se le puede salir un canasto tranquilo
Zipper has broken down.
Why wasnt she taking it seriously!!!!
If there was someone getting off then it's supposed to do that. I have been on one and know
What am I missing? I didn't see anything fall...!
they never said anything fell… a break DOWN
Love the zipper but I haven’t been on one in years lol
anyone know where there's a working zipper ride? I was scared when I was Young but now I really really REALLY wanna ride it!
Hincheys rides and amusements nova scotia, canada
Note these rides always brake down they are low maintnence carnivle rides
What happened ?
Yep
@Pew Pew Kids Wait... Glen Bernie, MD?
Glen BURNIE Md I grew up there and rode the Zipper in 73 at the age of 12 at the same carnival
Is this at Marley Station Mall?
My cousin died on this ride
i rode it, horribly scary
I love this ride!!!
This ride is pure torture not fun at all. You will be counting down the seconds until they finally stop it.
What type of ride is dat
Sketchy...😳
I feel bad for the red haired kid goin on it now XD
That's why my dad told me not to
what broke???
Cant-Think Of-a-Username-yet I’m wondering that to
Cant-Think Of-a-Username-yet, read the description
oh thx for telling me :)
A chunk of the ride broke
I wonder why i heard some sound at 0:58 i think the part that the wheel fell and Scraping the zipper's body
It didint break down!!!
That scary
where is it located
The ride is scary i was screaming that i have to make an excuse that I’m mute :(
0:09 did the little boy say the n word 😲
Good wife.
They should have said something to the operators. They're like it's o.k. if someone else dies after.
I love this ride!
It sounded horrible
Funny I just went on the same exact zipper not to long ago
Zipper
I love the zipper!
Zibbbar!!
I went on it with my sister it was fun
Stop riding cheap rides And maybe that wouldn’t happen
Lollllllllll
Fake
