ZIPPER: Coney Island’s Last Wild Ride

In a tale of avarice, political maneuvering, and an unprecedented land acquisition, ZIPPER delves into the conflict surrounding an emblematic piece of American culture. Eddie Miranda, a modest ride operator, takes pride in running the Zipper, a carnival attraction nestled in the rugged amusement area of Coney Island. However, when a real estate tycoon acquires the land he rents, Eddie and his ride become pawns in a power struggle between the developer and the City of New York over the fate of this iconic locale. Whether seen as a disregard for history or a step towards modernization, the essence of Coney Island hangs in the balance. In a world increasingly dominated by corporations, where genuine character is often traded for financial gain, the Zipper might just be the first of many losses.
