Silver Dollar City, the theme park in Branson, Mo., made history this year by launching their Time Traveler coaster, the world’s fastest, steepest, and tallest complete-circuit spinning roller coaster. With its gut-wrenching vertical drop immediately out of the station, unique spinning cars (which rotate very gently), twin magnetic launches, and other elements, it is a hoot of a ride.
But the park itself is historic. And the theme that drives Silver Dollar City — an idealized 1880s mining village — is based in reality and helps give it a sense of authenticity.
