Kids' Amusements a Total Blast at Dream Machines Show coming up Sunday April 26 at Half Moon Bay Airport!

Awesome Zip-line, Zorbs aka "Human Hamster Balls", bungee jump, wacky waterballerz, remote-control NASCAR race track and temporary tattoos!

Beyond the magnificent machines that will mesmerize adults and kids alike, there are plenty of other amusements for youngsters at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, Sunday, April 26 from 10 am to 4 pm at Half Moon Bay Airport.

The excitement starts with our awesome 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!

Zorbs – aka Human Hamster Balls – are all the rage! It’s simple: you get inside of a 10ft diameter air cushioned sphere and run around a dual-lane 75-foot criss-cross race track until you just just can’t go any longer. Zorbs will wear you out!

Jump high into the sky, flip around and catch some massive air on 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 a real scream, you gotta try Waterballerz! 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!
