Henry is dreaming big and working on a massive new time machine vehicle. The second and third level hints that Mr. According to Silver Dollar City publicity the first story tells the story of time-keeping creations Henry and his daughter have made.

He is fascinated by the concept of time and after studying writers like Jules Verne and other inspirational types he looks at time and realizes that what we do in the present can shape our future and what was done in the past can impact future decisions. Doctor Charles Henry is a clock maker whose family specialized in making clocks and time pieces. It is for this reason I rode the ride twice in the same day in order to write a true review on this massive theme park investment. Since it is a coaster that spins, no two rides are exactly the same.While it is a true spinning coaster, the spinning is magnetically controlled so there is no nausea inducing spinning like one would get on a Tilt-A-Whirl or traditional tea cup ride.Silver Dollar City has made two things abundantly clear about this coaster: First and only double launch - 0 to 47 mph in three seconds and 30 to 45 mph in 3.5 seconds.First and only with a vertical loop - a 95-foot tall loop.First and only with three inversions - A dive loop, a vertical loop, and a Zero-G Roll.Tallest - Custom designed for mountainous terrain with its tallest point at 100 feet.The world's steepest with a 10-story 90 degree vertical drop.straight down.The world's fastest with a top speed of 50.3 miles per hour.According to Silver Dollar City publicity materials, Time Traveler is a complete-circuit spinning coaster that is: Time Traveler takes vertical steel coasters to the next level.

In 1998, I was selected to participate in the Walt Disney World College Program (now known as Disney College Program) where I work in merchandise at Disney's Hollywood Studios (then known as Disney-MGM Studios) at the Tower of Terror and Sunset Boulevard retail shops. ![]() Secondly, I paid for my own season pass for 2018 to Silver Dollar City, and finally I feel qualified to write a review on this coaster based on my past background in the theme park and hospitality industry. One thing is for certain this coaster is in the limelight and time will tell if the return on investment was well worth it.īefore we go any further let me stress that I have no connection to the owners of the park nor did I get paid to write this review. The big question is will the investment pay off in a tourism boom as a mecca of theme park fans converge on Branson, Missouri or will it end up being a dud? Only time will tell. The other is Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. For roller coaster junkies like myself, Time Traveler is one of the top anticipated coasters of 2018. The Herschend Family of Silver Dollar City just spent $26 million on a new roller coaster called Time Traveler. What would you do with $26 million?
