So my family and I are visiting the park this weekend (Friday evening and all day Saturday to be exact) and it looks like rain is possible in the forecast. Will this affect any rides, if it's just rain? I can't remember the policy at SDC when it comes to coasters and rain. Thanks!

They've really toned down the spinning since the reveal.. I don't know how I feel about that. Also, people are saying the bottom floor of the station is empty (which was supposed to be the clock shop), and the second floor is just a wall and some hanging clocks. Can anybody confirm? I feel kinda let down.. EDIT: and that first launch with the slowing down... why? Just why? They should've put in a show building or something to show that you've traveled through time. I'm guessing that was their original plan, but had to cut it due to budget?

Maybe it's Chick Fil A but in disguise

I'm in love.

Can somebody post comparison pictures? I haven't been to SFSTL during a regular day in a while (only winterfest with my church), I'm interested in what the helix looked like

We got an official construction update from SDC themselves! https://blog.silverdollarcity.com/article/changes-are-coming-to-silver-dollar-city-this-spring

Well, looks like we have some more footage of it being tested! Also, we're getting a sneak peek at the shop and restaurant themed around the ride soon!

A show building with a portal-like theming on the inside which looks like you're currently traveling through time would be great!

Yes, it's multileveled, it'll be chockfull of theming of time travel and steampunk

It's the only theme park I've visited, so I'm quite biased when it comes to SDC. I just didn't know if they were going to change the theming with the time traveling aspect.

It looks like they're starting to theme the station, they've got some windows boarded up with a single plank of wood... I may be over speculating but why would they plank it up like that??

They're all officially here!!! https://twitter.com/SDCAttractions/status/939991806829350912

I think they closed the park for 2-3 days a month ago to put all the lights up

That car is sexy as hell god damn...

SDCfans has given us a few updates on Time Traveler! The trains are currently on a slow boat from Germany.. they might be expecting testing around Christmas time or a little bit earlier! Also.. SDC seems to be teasing something to do with Time Traveler in the next 3 days.. any thoughts? Will add links when I can, currently out of town as I write this.

They really upped their game for Christmas this year. With Six Flag STL's recent light display, it's becoming a tough competition. However, it seems like SDC has gone above and beyond when it comes to lights. They're like the Clark Grizwold of theme parks!

Went to SDC yesterday, I love it how Time Traveler runs parallel with Thunderation during some sections of it.They were herding us through Wildfire like cattle, though. Powder Keg broke down at around midday, I was glad to at least ride it once. Outlaw run hardly had a wait time when I rode it twice. Now my question is, are they going to expand in the 2019 season? I honestly think they could expand out past Outlaw run, it seems like they could just pave past it and keep building onwards.

Just in case this was skipped... According to Brad Thomas, president of Silver Dollar City Attractions, the indoor queue and load station will showcase the story of Charles Henry, a turn-of-the-century clockmaker and inventor who resides in Silver Dollar City and is captivated by the science fiction tales of Jules Verne. Gears, cogs, and other steampunk flourishes will adorn the building. "The first level tells the story of Mr. Henry's time-keeping creations," says Thomas. "However, the second and third levels start revealing Charles' big dream of creating a contraption capable of time travel." From USA Today's story about the coaster: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/experience/america/theme-parks/2017/08/16/silver-dollar-city-time-traveler-coaster/573610001/

VEHICLES/TRAINS: 360° Spinning Vehicles with adjustable magnetic spin control. Total of 3 trains carrying 16 passengers (2 per row; 2 rows per vehicle; 4 per train From SDC's official page about the ride http://www.silverdollarcity.com/timetraveler#ride-facts

Wow! This honestly looks great! I'm loving the idea and theme of this ride. Now.. about theming.. is the station going to be that.. plain? I'd honestly thought it would look like a crazy scientists laboratory with a bunch of gears and springs on the outside of it, but from the video... hopefully it's just a placeholder?

I'm thinking it's a mix between 1 and 3. It seems wacky enough to fit the whole 'steampunk' vibe they're putting off.

I have faith that SDC is going to deliver the "groundbreaking" aspects of the coaster. They always seem to have something unique to their coasters, if its design or its theming, they're different.
