Zipper
While the ‘cages’ holding two passengers each rise and descend on a tower boom, each spin independently and the entire boom turns, too. Three times the action, backed by spectacular lighting bringing them back for more.

Starship 3000

Coupled with the thrill of the ride is a light show, TV videos visible around the center of the platform, music, and more special effects at night!
