I'm bout to start balling my eyes out... hearing this music, 1987. I had just turned 16yrs old back then and wish I could rewind the clock. I turn 50 next year (well my girl just told me I'm turning 49 in 2021, I was born in 1971... where did the time go? You young peeps out there don't blink cause you might miss it! Don't let anyone tell you growing old is great and your golden years. Your late teens to 30yrs old is your golden years, you better enjoy every fawkin min of it cause when its gone... it's gone. I'm gonna go have a drink now & go for a stroll thru my amazing memories. I've been very fortunate to have lived such an amazing life thus far. "If I could do it again, you know I'd do it all the same" ~ Corey Smith. That song captured my life as a teenage growing up in Atlanta, Ga. Now a days I'm just thankful every morning I wake up. Nothing beat the 80's, nothing! Thank you so much Nelson for capturing this small window of time, it has allowed so many of your fans to relive a fond memory in their lives! I wish I could have met you in person as we would have been life long friends, maybe I will see you 1 day... I'll check with the Kiosk in Heaven for they will certainly know the man, the legend... Nelson!
…….right!!! Nelson gone have a whole line of peop waiting to meet him! He’s gonna have to have security lol!!! We’ve all grown to love this man just by his videos! I’m 42 and was only 5 or 6 when these videos were made wow
Watching these videos and hearing that music in the background is so unreal. It doesn't get any more realistic than this. So glad he filmed these videos. This allows us a glimpse into the past, the way it was. These videos are gold!
5ninthavenueproject im born in 1989 . I'm Parisian. I wish I could met them.... and Gia Carangi. I love the 80's ...every night I watch Nelson Sullivan's videos like now. I feel nostalgia. I love you all guys. Are you a friend of Nelson? Do you know where blackout the dog went after Nelson death? Do u have Nelson friends news? Thank you
Oh fuck, and it just won't stop, what a nightmare, I suffered with them. They definitely got their answer where all the vomit smell came from. Ouch. Anyway, I love all these videos. Nelson's way of filming really makes it feel like I'm with them. And when he speaks into the cam it really feels like he speaks to me. There's so much stuff from the 80s out there but his videos make that decade so real and he pulls you right in. So thankful for all the footage! If Nelson only knew that we'd have internet like this today and that we are watching all his videos. I'm sure he'd be so happy about it. It's so crazy to think about that he had _no idea_ that his videos would land online on UA-cam for the world to see, but he filmed it like as if he knew.
New generations will never understand. We were honestly bullet proof in the 80s and 90s. We were the children of parents who came out of the 60’s and 70’s lol. Today a ride like that would probably kill some people. We were so wild and free we could anything. I remember zipper rides exactly like this. The operators were relentless and so were the guests. I feel bad for the young folk today that will never get to experience what we had. Life was greater than words could even describe. My god this video gave me some serious nostalgia. Awesome video that made my heart pitter patter a bit.
All that puking at the end is further validation that there is no amusement at these A. parks! 🤭Evidently, Rupaul started the whole Satin Cap Mess! I blame him for all the women I see venturing outside, going about their business in their silk/satin bonnets.🤣🤣🤣
Verry funny especially when they scream and Rupaul says "i know it !! " 😂😂 i would hang out there on my days of..love this place.. Thanks for uploading tese beautiful videos of Nelson Sullivan
This is one of the old school Zippers that ran almost twice as fast as they do now. I think the boom runs 7.5 and the cable runs 4 rpms now and when they were first made in the late 60s they ran the boom at 11 & the cable at 7! Once people started sueing for everything they had to make it less intense.. lame haha
Fantastic video. Who are these guys? Anyone have any back round on anyone else in this video. It can almost pass as a short film documentary type. Thanks for uploading it, Rob/Boston
Did they actually puke? I didn't see! I'm sorry that you guys felt awful after that, the zipper has had its share of people chirping their chips, I rode it pregnant and thank God I was ok but I understand how it can interrupt your intestines
That dude purposely over did it on the spinning part, not right unless they asked him to. I used to ride this same ride back in the early to mid 80s when i was a teenager every year at the Santicaligon Days in Independence Missouri

The operator really likes to ruin people by spinning them around 😂😂😂
Anyone else lost during 2020 begging God to show them the way? In my lowest moments as I rise up for another hour I find comfort in nelson
Thanks to 5ninthavenueproject & Nelson for all these vids!

my favorite part is the end when they are both puking! so glad I never tried that ride!
I remember when Big Louie ran that ride. He left me in there for a half an hour. It felt like I was in a washing machine left in the spin cycle.
OMG you guys were CRAZY!! Going on THAT ride right after eating and that insane ride operator was making it even worse. UGH!!!
It's funny how amusement parks aren't really that amusing. They should call them Fear Parks...nice unexpected bonus to see a young-ish RuPaul though.
I can hear the polar express in the back round lol
That was the Zipper I remember. Guy getting the car rocking for you and a very long ride. 👍
Love it. Its amazing to see Rupaul so young and playful.
Long zipper ride long time ago..love it to much
RuPaul before fame
Poor Lahoma! How could u not get sick...that ride lasted FOREVER, lol, plus all the extra spinning from the carnie guy.
Love Lahoma

Linda Miller the Zipper is one of the scariest rides EVER -I love it

Yeah at my local fair it was crazy fast one year they probably put brand new motors in them occasionally
Vintage style zipper & a long ride to boot! That's 100% pure zipper with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Lord I remember that ride I cannot believe more people didn’t get seriously hurt from that ride breaking down💜🤔💜🤔💜
