Now that Time Traveler has your attention after that ten story
plunge it is time to twist you around and send you forward and backwards
through time with the dive loop.
Being a very non conventional rollercoaster Time Traveler does not have
a lift, instead there are two launch tracks in the middle of the ride
that shoot you up to 45 mph all the while you spin as a top.
I do want to talk about the spinning here as many of you are thinking
"spinning coaster...not for me".
I don't handle spinning well. Actually I can barely handle it.
The worst part of most spinning coasters is sitting there on the brake
run spinning around and around and around. After a few minutes of
that motion sickness kicks in and that will ruin my day.
Time Traveler spins but it is not a free spin. There is a magnetic
brake on the car that limits the rotations. What you end up with
Time Traveler is the cars are able to rotate giving you a completely
unique ride from the next one without getting the rider sick. I
ended up with six rides and not even the slightest inkling of motion
sickness appeared.
