Opening Day 2018 at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

It is almost as fun watching the ride and the reactions of those on it as it is to ride Time Traveler yourself.

Part of the problem is that once these trees come out of winter and cover up with leaves there will be really very little of Time Traveler that one can see from around the park.

It is kind of a double edged sword because as I enjoy being able to just look at these wonderful works of art for most throwing up that green leafy curtain is going to give Time Traveler that much more of a thrill when they pull down the lap bar and start to spin as the ride plunges out of the station.

A little bit of the unknown or at least perceived unknown for the rider is a powerful tool for those who create rides like Time Traveler.

That not knowing what exactly is going to happen just makes for that much more of a memorable experience for the rider and Time Traveler with randomness built into the ride vehicle itself is really going to be creating an unimaginable number of memories this year and beyond.

It was wonderful to get to take Time Traveler for more than a few spins and it was even better just to get out of the house, leave life behind and spend a couple of days with my boy who really isn't a boy anymore.

I plan on enjoying all I can of both parks and my time with him. Enjoy your time with those important to you doing something fun that you love.
