Thrillride Mechanics

06/09/2025

THIS IS HAPPENING SOON. Thrillride Mechanics' newest science fiction-magical realism-human cartoon production arrives at Z Below August 23rd-September 7th. THE MECHANIX: A normal day at a seaside amusement pier takes a terrifying turn when people begin vanishing off the Tilt-A-Whirl without a trace, leaving two ride operator-mechanics in deep trouble, soon discovering a bizarro Midway alongside the amusement pier’s real one. Performed with TM’s signature, soulful blend of physical comedy, illusions and high octane character storytelling! Stand by for ticketing information SOON!
Meanwhile, some love from the Chronicle!😍
