Designers Put New Spins on Coasters
When Silver Dollar City opened “Time Traveler,” I was among the first to put the new ride through its paces. What a rush! It is the world’s fastest, tallest, and steepest complete-circuit spinning coaster, as well as the first to include three inversions and two launches. But its most intriguing feature may be its controlled-spin mechanism.Dynamic Attractions says its first SFX Coaster, “Mission Ferrari” at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, could include anything (and possibly everything) from LSM launches, tilt tracks, side slides, gyro tables, drop tracks, tumble tables, and inversions.
