That’s fantastic, it’s great to see Stealth open again 😊

Take a Quick Look at this video Jax. It’s almost like it’s not building up the right pressure for the launch. 31F45C20-7E08-461B-BCE8-E34E802B8789.mov

Unfortunately it’s closed again as it nearly rolled back. Let’s hope she reopens but it doesn’t look good 😒

Thanks James

I got told it could be open by the end of the week. The member of staff I spoke to said they genuinely don’t get told much at all but the engineers have been saying positive things to staff which is a great sign. It may not open either by the end of the week. How long is a piece of string really. I’m happy though that I managed to find something out and let you all know 😊

Got some interesting news on stealth Jax, I’ve spoken to the staff guarding the area. The man was great and he said the engineers are working between the launch bunker and where the catch car is. They are actively working on it now as we speak. They have been testing it today and it’s been making the crest but they are still doing the remainder of the work so it might be operational quite soon. He did say the part ordered came recently but it’s such a complex coaster to work on so it takes time and a lot of money. Hope this helps

The cherry picker isn’t there anymore and there are Thorpe park staff guarding the area stopping people going near it

The ride area is all completely closed off. I’ve spoken to a guy at reception and he’s told me engineers are having a hard time fixing stealth and the parts are really hard to come by so he said it could be off for a while still yet.

Here at the park. Absolutely nothing going on. Cars not even out the shed, no engineers or anything

Ah cheers Jax, I never thought about that actually. Great point there 😊

Interesting Jax, We definitely know for 100% that it was certainly tested and it did indeed make the crest too. We all know now they have got her working again but I'm not sure what is actually going on now because today there's no action at all. I could only think either they tested and another fault has come up or there doing some final checks on the ride mechanically before getting the ride tested and opened. I certainly agree that Stealth will be getting re-opened soon but for now there's absolutely no action around the ride today which leads me to think there in the launch bunker doing something or they need another part.

Thank you. I will try

I know that is really annoying. I was going to go to Thorpe Wednesday but I'm going tomorrow instead as the weather doesn't look good for Wednesday. I'll have a look if anything is going on with Stealth while I'm there. It's really annoying though because I have to drive 3 hrs to get to Thorpe as I live 160 miles away. Although Alton Towers is only about 35-40 mins away from me. I prefer Thorpe as I've been to Alton Towers too many times now haha.

I’m keeping an eye out for any news. I’m going Wednesday so really hoping they open stealth soon 😀

It has been testing and there’s a car on the break run. Looks like we’re getting some good news 😊

Ah right that’s great news. Thanks for that 😊

Thanks Jax you’re amazing. What happened to it in 2019?

Might of spied some engineers later on in the day but they didn’t look like they were up to much and it looked like some other people were there with some paint for painting something. The cherry picker hasn’t moved and the area is still closed off. It’s not looking good

Here today nothing happening with stealth

I’m at the park on Tuesday. See if I can find anything out or see anything going on.

I was hoping it was sign but as you said it was there Thursday then I thought maybe they won’t be testing it yet. Was the crane in the exact same place when you last seen it?

Ah right, that’s interesting 😊

Hi Jax, there’s some kind of red machine there today and they have closed off all the ride area for now. I suppose it’s a great move forward but I’m clueless to what there actually doing. I feel like it won’t be too long until they’ll have her up and running. I’ve uploaded an image.

Thanks Josh, great news to hear!

Thanks, I'm probably guessing with Stealth that it's a quite big sophisticated part that's gone wrong maybe hence the crane unless it was for something to do with the track. At least we know that Thorpe won't be giving up on their ride though. I'm sure we all know that an LSM launch just isn't really anything quite like a hydraulic launch. I do prefer that massive g force
