“This town in the Ozark Mountains, well know for offering thrills of the high-flying and toe-tapping variety, is upping its game. The theme park Silver Dollar City already boasts Outlaw Run, a wooden roller coaster with a corkscrew, and this spring will add Time Traveler, set to be the world’s tallest, steepest and fastest spinning coaster. Those who like their entertainment without sudden drops can enjoy one of the many theatrical productions, like the Haygoods: an energetic country music show with light up fiddles and lasers.” Mekado Murphy**
