Time Machine (roller Coaster)
The Time Machine is a steel roller coaster that is currently standing but not operating at Freestyle Music Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The ride, manufactured by the Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard, opened to the public on April 15, 2008, under the name Led Zeppelin – The Ride as part of Hard Rock Park. Due to financial issues Hard Rock Park was sold and renamed after just one year. These same financial issues continued for the new owners resulting in the park shutting down in 2009. As of 2013, The Time Machine and the rest of Freestyle Music Park remain standing but not operating.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or machine:
“Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
Young Time is taster to Eternity.
The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
Thy golden head never hangs down
Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
As doth the dawn into the day,
As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
