History[]
Starting in February 2016, the Herschend Family Entertainment Company (owner of Silver Dollar City) filed trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for multiple names including "Barke", "Time Traveler", and "Top Dog". Construction for the roller coaster began in October 2016. Around mid-February 2017, photos were taken by the Springfield News-Leader of construction taking place within the park, with a park official acknowledging that footers were in place for a new attraction, but not certifying to what it would be.
On August 16, 2017, Silver Dollar City announced Time Traveler, which upon completion would be the tallest, fastest, and longest spinning roller coaster in the world. The ride is manufactured by Mack Rides at the cost of $26 million to design and build. Among its records, the roller coaster would be the only spinning roller coaster with a double launch, vertical loop, and three inversions. Upon its completion, the American Coaster Enthusiasts organization will hold a convention for the ride. On September 19, 2017, the final piece of track was placed for the attraction, with a park spokesman saying that the ride was about 50 percent complete.
The trains for the ride were officially revealed on November 14, 2017 during IAAPA 2017.
The ride opened to the public on March 14, 2018.
