Boy, I haven't checked in awhile and there have been a lot of updates. My general feelings for all this are both good and bad.
As far as Time Traveler itself goes, it seems they've put a lot of work into this and it is a BIG deal and should be a great coaster. I think the spinning will be fine. The cars look to be very smooth and comfortable and the coaster thrilling.
However, the theme so far is not impressing me. I wasn't all excited about the time traveler idea in the first place, and even the building, logo and signage they've posted so far just does not fit SDC in my opinion. They are not finished however and I haven't seen it in person.
As far as the area goes, it's hard for me to picture exactly what I'm looking at in the pictures. Part of me is very worried about the entire area. Sorry to see Cowboy Jepps move but it's still around; greatest gift was a nice store and I made some purchases but it wasn't an SDC hallmark. I always hated the baseball bats (and I'm a baseball fan). Good to get it off the street.
I'm glad they are naming the skillet buckshot annies. Also glad they kept hatfield's as that's the best IMO.
The new restaurant chicken sandwich idea I really like. A chicken sandwich and some tasty fries, or the grilled cheese options, is a great idea. They'll need to really sell the theme however. The best restaurants in SDC have great theme that's very intricate and OZARK themed.
I guess I'll find out more in June.
