You never said all these rides would be on Treasure Island. (Well I only read the quotation from Neilfever's post, so I've only just read that these would be on Treasure Island )In which case yes, it might be a good idea to have one extra queue eater. Maybe a better idea would be to open the coaster with one of those two rides, and then the other ride the year after? It gives a better chance of bringing guests back for the next year because you'll be able to advertise new rides for both years, and give the promoters an easier job. That's what I'd do anyway.Yes but nothing says that history will repeat itself, and if a prototype doesn't operate properly then it isn't the parks fault. This is because all prototypes are never reliable in their first year and it really doesn't matter what park is running them, as the park just run the ride how the manufacturers tell them to. For example Saw: The Ride, no it wasn't a prototype but it's problems when it first opened were not Thorpe's fault at all, they were all down to the manufacturer.Intamin Accelerators are just unreliable in general, Stealth isn't unique for having problems.
