Of all carnival policies, none is more alienating to single adults than "No Single Riders" policies. One of my all time favorite carnival rides is the Zipper. I have ridden single innumerable times on the Zipper and never had a single problem. But nowadays, practically every single carnival company, especially including Windy City Amusements, Modern Midways, and several others, carries literally a Zero Tolerance Policy for single riders! Literally, not only are our carnivals becoming boring, they are also more and more becoming restricted to couples and groups only, and being single is starting to mean pure, all out misery and boredom.
