Unique thrill experience while still appealing to families,” said Brad “This coaster’s state-of-the-art controlled spin provides riders a The controlled spinning nature of the cars means that no two rides on Time Traveler will ever be exactly the same, giving fans of the coaster a reason to ride over and over. Before the end of the ride Time Traveler heads through another LMS launch of 45 miles per hour, a zero-g roll and plenty of twists and turns. That launch uses linear synchronous motors to send the train along at 47 miles per hour, through a large overbank turn, then down into the second inversion - a 95 foot tall vertical loop. Soon after the ride's first launch takes place after a brief pause. Immediately after the drop Time Traveler's trains head into a dive loop, the first of the coaster's three inversions. The cars use a controlled spin that starts as they move out the station, so riders may encounter this drop both forward, backward, and every way in between. The drop is 100 feet high and has a true vertical, 90 degree drop that gets the cars moving at 50.3 miles per hour. Time Traveler begins with the vertical plunge that is seen above, right out of the station - which is perched on the side of one of the park's many hills. ![]() More than two years were spent in the planning and construction of the $26 million attraction. Time Traveler is a unique spinning roller coaster, designed by Mack Rides, which features a large initial drop along with two separate launch sections. The ride is billed by the theme park as the "world’s fastest, steepest and tallest complete-circuit spinning roller coaster," and represents a massive investment in Silver Dollar City by owner Herschend Family Entertainment.
