I see that the TP website now state that Stealth and the Ghost Train are "unavailable". That's major really, though obviously that's not what they want.

Why is Stealth unavalible?
Your post somewhat confuses me Callum - you went at the end of August? as Ian suggested, that could be hugely beneficial. You also state that Stealth has " for the last 2-3 months it has been unavalible or only open for 10-20 mins " which is totally incorrect and possibly because you are confusing it with another ride. I have been several times this season, and though occasionally there have been resets, it is only in this current situation that it's been totally out of action, and that has been sufficiently discussed in other threads.

Things You've Overheard at Parks
When they have queued under it for up to 90 minutes, on Stealth saying "is that it then?" ( I did suggest to someone once that it used to go down the M3 until complaints from drivers - gullible types about)

I loved Thunderlooper; I heard also that it's existence was only agreed as being temporary.

Wow, you startled me, I thought you meant Stealth is running, then I re-read your post.

G-Force is a very different type of ride, most people find the upward climb very uncomfortable, no similarity at TP, unless the vertical on Saw compares for you. We are all very different, in our physique, and attitude to the rides, so I always suggest for a nice, smooth introduction to inversions, go on SWARM. Do not miss out on Flying Fish, it's good. Nemesis Inferno is very good as with the pendulum action, you feel the ride differently. Take your ear-rings out for Colossus. Enjoy your time there.

Stealth
Yup, differing experiences, and differing types of ride. Thank goodness for gravity.

Okay, good luck, here are the conditions...... Let us know how you get on, and if you have some success then I'll go over daily.

I doubt it, otherwise everybody would tap them for something and they always float the disclaimer about rides possibly being out of action, logical.

I wouldn't expect anything as all parks, understandably, have the standard warning that "some rides may not be operational" - alas, I cannot get to the sunken garden because they have now fenced the area off.

I've already signed up for therapy.

I suspect not - went to TP today and the rumours/comments range from four days, to "back next season". Cable will probably be replaced but Intamin are having to make a new catch car, a one off, this is supposedly being done at the moment.

Only really worrying if one breathes through your ears, or someone wants to lick your ears after?

But don't you get a feeling of power when you stand up again, only to adjust your clothing - "oh, waiting for me? sorry!"

Madame Tussauds London
Interesting, the statue of Sherlock is less than a hundred metres away, and the Sherlock Holmes museum is only 500 metres. Elementary really.
