Review of Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City

It’s time for this month’s “Rode It! Loved It!” (my reviews of established attractions that are exclusively for paid subscribers). And this time we are going to set our sights on Silver Dollar City and travel back in time to ride Time Traveler, one of my favorite roller coasters. If you aren’t a paid subscriber, kindly consider upgrading and joining the wonderful group of folks who support my work and get bonus features like “Rode It! Loved It!”

I believe I’ve discovered the secret to time travel: magnets.

No, I haven’t unlocked the time-space continuum. But I have concluded that magnets play a key role in the operation of Time Traveler, Silver Dollar City’s impressive roller coaster. The Branson, Missouri theme park has a real winner with its $26-million ride. But it also has something of an image problem with the coaster—a problem that I aim to help dispel.

Time Traveler features one heckuva first drop right put of the station. (Herschend Family Entertainment)
