Not much else to say. This was a showpiece in my finale and false finale this year. It starts out medium paced until about half way through and then it rips! I'm going to put 2 in opposite directions next year so the fans cross cross. Do be careful with this cake, however, because it usually will solder and catch fire after the show is shot. Be safe.

Always have loved zipper cakes. First time for me with this one and it was amazing! Will definitely be getting this one again next year!

Put two of these in my finale this year. Both were on same cue, a few feet apart, but I put the igniter clips at the end of one fuse, and the other against the other cake, gave the 2nd cake a slight delay. It was over the top awesome!! The only I will change next year is to use this as a layer effect with some racks or cakes going off above them. Excellent, I highly recommend this one!

once the fast shots kick in, it really does sound like a machine gun, and the small bursts are exploding all around you. Did one separately and another with a two dozen cake finale board, had about sixty people cheering!

As, Jarrod said everyone needs to splurge even if its only once in there life time to try this cake. It goes off in less than 30 seconds I clocked mine in the past under 24 seconds. Nothing other than like a machine gun would describe the 10 shot to a second count produced by this very fast passed repeater. I've put this on my order more than once. However, If I think back I must have had two versions. I think my 1st version didn't have any slow part to it. Anyway I liked the slow to fast version better anyway. I've tried placing a 3" cake directly behind it before and remarkably couldn't hear the booms from it till 22-24 seconds later. We even barely seen the big Red, White, and Blue breaks from Liberty Parade during that time. So, I advise if your going to shoot another repeater with this z cake I would place it further than 1 ft. behind it. You might even want to have it 20 ft. or more as long as the area is available. Then your viewing area needs to be at least 50 ft. away to see both repeaters. Otherwise, the smoke and 220 shots will be all you see trust me. Excellent cake hear but due to its price I find it hard for me to justify buying it and shooting it off myself.

Everyone loved this piece. I fired mine as a first item in a 500 gram board and it definitely got every ones attention. 5 stars all the way!!!

This year, I used this cake as my finale...And what an awesome finale it was!
I didn't think the crowd would ever stop cheering!

This cake is beyond great. Just light it and listen to the crowd respond when it kicks into high gear about halfway thru.

Sounds just like machine gun! My dad who is a Army veteran jumped out of his seat with excitement when we lit this one. He wanted to know if we had more and where they were! This one has the "WOW" factor everyone is looking for. A little expensive but when you light it you'll be glad you dropped your dime on this one! Everyone should try a high stepper at least once in their lifetime!
