The Time Traveler; the tallest fastest steepest spinning roller coaster media preview at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

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.
