- In this video, we are lighting three different 500g zipper cakes from Winda fireworks! The full description of the cakes is listed below. First up, Amazing Ballet which is not only a classic but has been a top-rated cake for many years. Second to light is Road to America, another one that has been on the market for quite some years and had a refresh in recent years. You'll notice something didn't fire right on this cake, and I try to deep dive at the end of the video. We finish off the demo with Golden Peacock, which hit the market a few years ago. Which zipper was your favorite? I personally really liked Golden Peacock and can see myself using it in future shows!
Amazing Ballet - 220 Shots - Fantastic zigzagging shots of red/white/blue tails to big-league rain chrysanthemums at an accelerating pace, with a loud whistling finale.
Road to America - 172 shots - Red, white, blue tail-to-time rain chrysanthemums at increasing pacing, triple finale of aerial red peonies, color tails, and loud crackles. Watch how it is actually supposed to fire here: • P5331 ROAD TO AMERICA ...
Golden Peacock - 149 Shots - Vibrant color comets with gold glittering tails zip back and forth in a pleasing z pattern, big fan finale

Can’t decide I like them all even with the misfire in the middle all solid👍🏻👍🏻
Totally agree with you there! When the middle cake shot live, I thought "that was cool!" but knew there was a firing issue lol.
I liked the Golden Peacock the best. 👍👍.
They were all great, but I liked the middle one the best !!!
Road to Mass Launch? Haha, thanks for watching
Thanks for the demo Joel! Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks for watching, to you and your family as well!
Love the last one 🎉
You and I both!
Great demo thanks for doing this and yes I am going to use a lot more 1/1’s in this years shows. Have a safe a wonderful thanksgiving.
Thanks for watching! Have a great Thanksgiving as well
I'm having a hard time deciding. Despite the technical difficulties, they all looked pretty cool. I'm a sucker for colorful and shiny things. LOL.
I agree, I like them all. My favorite was probably Golden Peacock.
Despite what happened I still enjoyed road to America!
Oh yeah, it had some great effects in it!
I love zipper cake but the price of them is what turns me off. Thanks Joel for the demo and pyro on bro 👍
Always brother! I feel you there. Another commenter pointed out he used to get Amazing Ballet for about $70 (retail) and I have memories of that as well. Can't imagine finding that anywhere for $70 even wholesale now.
I like them all and that fuse jump looked sick
Haha! Like an unintentional all fire
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics lol exactly
Amazing Ballet was the best such a nice cake
It's a classic for sure! I lit my first one in like 2009 and ever since it has had a special spot on my pyro list haha.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics if you are ever in North Carolina please let me know I want to meet you
@@Joshd247 I'll let you know!
Great video Joel love these 1/1 cakes there all great I love amazing ballet’!! and yes definitely went to quick .btw try out raccoon payback or sucker punch there both amazing!
Thank you sir! I did a vide on Sucker Punch this summer, but haven't lit Payback yet. I plan to pick up some more Raccoon this Winter or Spring though and see what I can do!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics much appreciated ooh ok il check that out sucker punch must of missed that yea payback is really awesome have gn pyro brother
@@ryannewyspyrotechnics2421 you as well!
Hahah, I lied! It was Pucker Up, not Sucker Punch. I might actually have Sucker Punch though. Need to go through inventory
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics ahhh ok was gonna say didn’t see it lol yea I seen pucker up it’s good sucker punch cmon Joel I got faith in you lol I’ve shot it not demoed it it’s really sweet
Great demo, they were all good but if I have to pick one it would be the last one.
You and I both!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I do have a question, could there have been cross fire within the second cake not caused by an outside source?
@@toddwert4979 I'm sure it is possible. The thing that I can't understand is that I lit it from one end, but the three larger bore rows at the other end went very soon after the initial launch and also fired much faster than other video demos show them firing. As if all three rows has quick fuse etc.
#2 my vote
Of those three, Amazing Ballet has always been a solid choice. But American Pyro by Magnus is the best zipper cake I've ever come across.
I'll keep an eye out for that one!
I think you meant amazing pyro.
The BEST zipper I've ever seen is Final Frontier by Happy Family fireworks... hands down the best single (comet) effect zippers out there. I've seen it in person and it just stands out among all the others. My 2nd place would probably be mischievous by Raccoon Fireworks or Rainbow Ghost by the same... they are basically a tie for 2nd.
@@josh.kaptur Yes indeed. Thank you for catching and correcting.
A what F happened moment in amateur fireworks?? LOL, I do the same thing. Great cakes over all, but who doesn't like zippers?
Lol right, a real head scratcher in the moment. Who doesn't like zippers!?
Wanted an Amazing Ballet as a kid due to your old old videos.
That is awesome to hear!
Great video! Damn. I remember shooting Amazing Ballet 20 years ago. Remember paying $69 each too! 😑
That is impressive! Both price and duration. My first memory of shooting it was 13 years ago and was probably about that price too.
How much are they now?
@@davidhess6899 I saw them recently wholesale for $80-90. I used to see them retail for cheaper than that but last I saw one retail is was $150 ish
I have had such a hard time finding Rip Rap by Shogun out here in the PNW I've been wondering if I could create my own by loading Speed Balls/Zippers into the tubes of one of these type cakes. Do you think that would work?
That is a good question. You might have a bunch launch out with the cardboard discs rather than light, but I don't know for sure.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics if I give it a whirl I'll let you know the results
@@tomhansen6115 Please do, I'm very curious now too haha
Interesting on Road to America, back row must have lit prematurely from the other cake by the firing pattern. Not sure how it would have fired that way by fusing issues alone
For sure, but even if it were lit from the backside, it fired the last three rows at almost the same time. That isn't how it's normally wired. My best guess is a crazy unlucky jump fire from the cake before it or the first couple of shots from the cake itself.
#BBQRANDO🌵 says flipping, awesome, amazing, super colossal 💥🧨💣🚀🔥
BBQ!!
I have also seen loose bp in the bottom of zippers lately... that might be another theory? I also see you have the newer "small-footprint" zipper cakes! Aren't they nice!?
That is a good theory I hadn't thought about. I didn't look at the bottom of the cake for evidence, only at the top and sides. Anytime something can be made smaller without affecting performance, I am always on board!
Looked like there were a couple low breaks on the right side from Amazing Ballet (before the whistles). Embers setting off the last 3 rows at the same time?
I’m partial to RWB zipper cakes… T-Sky has a couple that fit.
So funny enough, I actually lit Amazing Ballet last, but realized when editing I said I was going to light it first and adjusted the video according. So technically Golden Peacock shot first, then Road, and lastly Ballet.
You can never go wrong with RWB!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics well… there goes that theory 🤷🏻♂️
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics time to buy another one and take a closer look at the fusing. Happen to record the case info?
@@pnwfireworks4425 Haha right. Unfortunately, no.
I can hear the depositions o n what you shared. However missed the dialog on how close the product was placed. To effectively provide each product. This crew needs some safety teachings.
I'm not yelling I'm telling you.
Great Product Choice! Be safe be well and prosperous. Onward 🌈
They were in a line pretty much identical in spacing to the thumbnail. I fired them all electronically pausing about 10 seconds between each cake. I'm pretty sure the first row prematurely lit the back rows from the fallout. It's the best explanation I can provide.
