August 16, 20179 yr CF parks aren't the only ones doing announcements. Silver Dollar City is up to some 2018 goodness as well. Introducing Time Traveler. The tallest (100 ft), fastest (50.3 mph) and steepest (90 degrees) spinning coaster with a 0-47 mph in 3 seconds launch, 2nd launch later in the layout, 3 inversions, just a hair over 3000 ft long designed by Mack. http://www.silverdollarcity.com/timetraveler
August 16, 20179 yr Time Traveler looks great! Anyone on here know if this is the only spinning coaster with an inversion? Somehow, I feel like it is. EDIT: Nevermind, I found this: https://rcdb.com/6453.htm#p=40626 (credit to RCDB). However, it is the only spinning coaster with a loop.
August 16, 20179 yr Author There's one made by Gerstlauer in Japan that did inversions first. https://rcdb.com/6453.htm
August 16, 20179 yr Here's the full facts sheet which lists all the records. I definitely see a trip to Branson in my future... https://sdc.silverdollarcity.com/sitepages/2018/site/ride-facts.pdf
August 16, 20179 yr Upon watching the teaser trailer for the coaster (which can be found on SDC's site and above), I think the trailer itself is cool and reminds me of a Disney movie trailer, especially those from the 90's where they had a featurette about the movie (or in this case, about Silver Dollar City) before the trailer. I'll see if I can find said trailer so you can see what I mean... EDIT: Here it is, enjoy! EDIT2: Actually, nevermind, I realized the trailer is posted above, so go check out Silver2005's opening post!
August 16, 20179 yr Sorry to double post, but I found another video about Time Traveler that I thought was worth sharing:
August 19, 20179 yr I'm very excited for this! It's going to be an amazing ride, and I personally think Steel Vengeance and this tie for best new ride so far!
August 22, 20178 yr Author Upon further review, this seems like a bit of overkill, at least for me. Exterminator was pretty wild with the spinning, but adding in all those insane elements seems like one of those moments a la RCT- spinning coaster 1 looks too intense for me! I'd probably still ride it though.
