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

I don't do crazy out of control spinning without my day getting ruined my motion sickness.

I was reassured when I found out that Time Traveler's spin is not completely free spinning. It will be a controlled spin so no matter how unbalanced the car is you will never be spinning violently out of contro.. There will be a limit to how much the cars can spin which suddenly reassures me stomach that it won't be given such a workout that I will not be able to enjoy this ride.

Here is a nice view of Thunderation as it reaches the bottom if it's initial spiraling downhill plunge. While I am no fan for trees going away (Silver Dollar City planted two trees for every one that was removed) seeing Time Traveler looming over Thunderation as it spirals down the hillside takes your breath away a little more.

Encircled with two of Time Traveler's inversions is one of the rides two magnetic launch sections. The first launch shoots you from 0 to 47mph in 3 seconds while the second one shoots Time Traveler an already speeding train up to 45mph.

Time Traveler gets pretty lcose to the ground as it spirals down the hillside. It will be interesting spinning around to suddenly see the ground whizzing past you.
