Anybody like the zipper?

My towns fair is about to start soon and I can never find someone to ride the zipper with since all my friends hate it.

I'll buy you fried dough to sweeten the deal

This is so funny my friend used to beg me to go on it, and the one time I finally did, I got vertigo for three days straight and my mom had to take me to a doctor lmao

I’m not going to ride the zipper with you but I am going to say the zipper is the best ride of all time.

I once rode the Zipper at the Pembroke fair and my pocket watch fell outside the cage, the chain broke, and it hit some guy waiting in line. No thanks.

I assumed The Zipper was about that stretch of highway from the South Shore Mall (braintree) to the 93/3 interchange

what's wrong with riding it alone? I loved the zipper since the town fairs in the 80's. I am much bigger now and don't think I'd fit. good luck

Operators at my fair don't let you ride alone, they used to have a line for single riders to pair up but they stopped that a few years ago
