Zip-line, Bungee Jump, Mechanical Bull, Remote-Controlled NASCAR Race Track, Carnival Rides, Waterballz, Temporary Tattoos

If the magnificent machines are not mesmerizing enough, there are plenty of other amusements for youngsters at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, April 27-28 at Half Moon Bay Airport.

Let the excitement begin with our new Zip-line! Zip-liners are safety harnessed, then climb a spiral staircase up to the crow's nest 28 feet in the air. They are then attached to the zipline by our trained team via a redundant safety pulley and prepared for launch. Two at a time can zip side by side so not only will they enjoy the ride but also shriek in unison while in flight. Flying through the air reaching over 20 MPH they approach the specially designed power pack decelerator and come to a gradual stop. The smiles, laughter, and squeals say it all ... it's the thrill of a lifetime!

Are you ready to jump high into the sky? Flip around and catch some massive air? With Mobile Rock's incredibly fun Quad Bungee, up to 4 people can be jumping at one time. Flips are fun and easy to do. Heights of 20' above the ground can be reached. Parents get a real kick out of watching their kids have a blast. Try out our extreme air bouncing equipment to practice stunts or simply for fun exercise.

For the ride of your life, hop on "Rocky" the Mechanical Bull and HOLD ON! Always a total blast to ride, "Rocky" is ready to please both the brave rider and the crowd. "Rocky" has a revolutionary "life-like" soft head and immediate stop mechanism to keep all riders out of harms way. The air cushion landing ring let's you off easy, in case "Rocky" doesn't! With 5 different pre-programmed levels and endless ride combos, "Rocky" is great for both the beginner cowboy to real life-like bull riding for aspiring rodeo stars. Rocky's built in timer also keeps track of your ride time and works great to see who can hold on the longest! Yee-ha!!!!!!!!

For a real scream, you gotta try Waterballz! Participants climb into a giant, clear inflatable ball which is filled with fresh air. The the ball is zipped up, which completely seals it, and they enter an inflatable pool that is 24 by 24 feet and literally walk (and roll) on water. Run, jump, bounce, walk inside the balls on water. As many as six balls can be in the pool at one time. This exciting new attraction is always a hit!

Experience the thrills, chills and excitement of real NASCAR racing on Pit Stop Mobile Racing's micro-reality, remote-controlled track. Imagine racing your favorite NASCAR driver on a banked oval speedway at speeds over 200 mph! You're in complete control as you head into the banked curve, your left hand gripping the full size steering wheel, your right hand the shifter. It's as though you're driving –– spectacular crashes, high-speed spinouts, the bumping of real racing and non-stop action that makes micro-reality, remote-controlled racing the ultimate interactive experience.

Classic Amusements provides exciting rides, games and concessions for special events throughout the West. Returning are smash hits including the Dixieland Twister, a 10-seat mechanical speed swing, and Zoom, a true piece of Americana—it's the actual ride, fully restored, that appeared in the legendary 1978 movie, Grease. Get ready for lift-off on the exciting Helicopter ride. The Froghopper, a longtime favorite, is a guaranteed tummy tickler, taking riders 25' in the air and bounce dropping them like a frog. Jump for joy on one-of-a-kind themed bouncers. Kids love their colorful appearance and boundless excitement. The bouncers are forced-air inflated with soft "pillow" flooring and walls for maximum safety.

"It's Fun Face Painting" brings an extra sparkle to the event! Nothing says dazzle like wearable artwork — bright colors, glitter and imagination. Ladies look great with some sparkly wings on a bared shoulder or a trendy tribal tattoo design down the leg. Children dream big and love to imagine themselves as Princesses, Butterfly Faeries, Tigers and Superheroes. Or admire a scary snake, dramatic dragon, little ladybug or a colorful rainbow on a hand or cheek.

Get some glitter! Have some fun with a temporary tattoo by California's award-winning, most sought-after henna artist Swati Shah of Henna Traditions. Henna painting is an ancient, all-natural, pain-free cosmetic and healing art. Dried leaves from the henna plant are crushed into a powder, then made into a paste that is applied to the body to safely dye the skin. This is done in elaborate patterns and designs, traditionally on hands and feet. The henna dyes the skin with a maroon stain which lasts 1 to 2 weeks and fades away leaving no visible marks. Henna Traditions does unbelievably cool designs using 100% natural henna.
