The New for 2018 Time Traveler Mack Launched Looping Spinning rollercoaster at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

Everyone who attended Coaster Christmas who was over 12 (due to it being an active construction zone) got to take a look around the station but thirty-six lucky golden ticket SWAG bag winners were taken all through the station and down in the valley in the center of Time Traveler's twisted layout.  Before heading on down we got to take a look around Time Travelers electrical systems area.

These rack are full of the computer and electrical systems that will coordinate Time Traveler's station, block brakes, multiple launches and everything else that goes into making a modern rollercoaster a safe but thrilling ride.

The immense station building wasn't just for maintenance as a large portion was set aside for its queue.

Hirschend Entertainment who owns Silver Dollar City likes to be able to tell stories with the everything that goes into a ride including how you get to it.  Wild Fire's station tells the tale of a madcap 1880's inventor and his quest to create a flying machine.  Powder Keg takes you through an explosives factory and Outlaw Run's queue sees you through the office of a stagecoach company that is fighting outlaws. 

Time Traveler is themed after a watchmaker who after the imaginative writings of Jules Verne decides to dabble in time travel in order to "dream big and do good".

Heading out of the station down the maintenance stairway to ground level we were greeted with this stunning view of Time Traveler's finale.
