If only Thorpe had an Argos type catalogue and sent for the part by Royal Mail 1st Class

They must still be waiting for a part then. Wouldn't be worth having a train on the track if it wasn't going to be worked on.

Guys.... what.....?

I'm at the park on Thursday so might see what's going on then

Has there been any action today?

So, Stealth is suspected to be an issue with the launch mechanism, which is difficult to fix since Intamin discontinued it and stopped support on existing accelerators. It is a very difficult issue for them to repair without the help of Intamin so Stealth could be a lot longer closure. Keep in mind I got this from a friend who knows maintenance staff. With Rita, the issues is with the catch car rather than the main launch system. Rita is expected to be open within the next week or two. To summarise, Rita most likely 1-2 weeks closure. Stealth I’d imagine will be later in the month, so opening for the latter I’d estimate to be, like 16th May onwards from the information I have, KEEP IN MIND THIS COULD CHANGE.

Let's hope it opens soon. Planning on going next week, so I am too hopeful.

Anymore news from the park today?

Ahhh I see.... important to note that Stealth is listed as "Closed" instead of "Closed All Day" or "Closed Today" so maybe its back soon. Has there been any action? I know the park was closed a couple days ago so maybe that gave them a chance to try and get it going again....

Does this mean it'll be back on the 8th?

Relatively promising post from Thorpe on X yesterday.... Could Stealth be back soon?

Interesting that Rita is closed too.... Kingda Ka must have put a hex on it or something lol. Good to see engineers working on Stealth today as you mentioned, maybe the part has arrived that they need, and hopefully it's opens sooner.

No engineers or operators saying the ride is closed.... Most likely waiting for a part. Rumour has it that it will be closed until early May.

This has to be a joke.... a bit of a strange choice advertising a ride that's been closed for nearly a week. It's almost as if the marketing team have no idea what's going on at the park. Like I completely understand ride downtime and everything, but why market a ride on your social pages when said isn't even available for the public to enjoy XD

It does still have three trains, however the third one is currently being redone or in standby in case one fails or for extra capacity. Train 1 was recently overhauled and I *think* Train 3 is currently the other one being used, whilst Train 2 is currently in the maintenance shed. I'm currently 16 years old too, and I wish you luck on becoming an engineer on Stealth (and other rides too for that matter) Don't have any experience working with Stealth, other than the fact that I've ridden it and it's a nightmare in terms of reliability XD (That being said) has there been any action today...?

Time to wait another week for it to reopen again... guess my plans have gone out the window lmao

Reckon they'll have it up again by next week?

It's not looking good...

So has it opened at all today?

I **** myself every time it closes when I check everyday cus I think it may have fecked itself again

It's alive!!! 5fd2386bbb246854d662bfb97b9db6fe.mp4

Amazing!! Might book a visit for a couple of weeks time

I heard it's been testing this afternoon...can anyone confirm...?

Think they stopped using that now lol....hopefully it's back up and running again soon (the ride, not the page)

So Stealth has died then?
