southwestern Missouri say a new roller coaster being built will spin riders during the run that begins with a 10-story, 50-mph drop.Officials announced on Wednesday that the $26-million coaster named “Time
Traveler” will open next spring.
The ride will include three “inversions,” or elements in which the coaster
track turns riders upside-down and then returns them to an upright position.
The coaster is manufactured by Germany-based Mack Rides.
As a mechanical engineer for that company, Dennis Gordt says the coaster is unique because it unites a double-launch coaster with spinning passenger cars and multiple inversions. He says that makes the coaster the world’s only one with all three of those features.
