But wait… no Zipper? While it may make a return in future, for now, The Zipper has been moved to another one of North American Midway Entertainment’s (NAME) business units, continuing to spin and flip fair-goers throughout North America. This specific business unit is not the one that visits Winnipeg.
NAME does an incredible job of providing fair guests with the most exciting and fun rides available each year. New rides are very exciting, but they cost millions of dollars and lots of time to develop and test, so new rides cannot be expected each year.
Find thrills for all ages at Kiddie-Land! From the Dragon Coaster to Parker City Saloon, there’s so much fun to be had!
