Hopefully you will get to ride her before end of season .She's certainly a beauty 😍

Had some night rides on her tonight and she is definitely running much smoother. Making the crest absolutely fine and only had a 5 minute small hiccup today. Engineers were straight out. Reset the ride and all back up and running again. Absolutely lovely coaster at night 😀 Massive thanks to Thorpe Park and their engineers for getting her back 😊

Welcome 😀

Stealth has reopened 😀

Went from "Delayed opening" this morning to "closed". Let's remain hopeful aye. I'm at the park today so I will see if anything is going on and update you all later

I'm more concerned it's not just a cable replacement. Perhaps they've had to remove the cable to get to broken parts or investigate the issue further to see what is broken. If that's the case then I suspect they won't have any any spares to hand so they will have to order parts in. However nothing has been put on the Thorpe Park website regarding any unplanned closures or even marked unavailable either so it's a crystal ball to whether this is a serious prolonged closure or it's something they can fix fairly quickly.

The doors are open and the launch cable has been removed today.

Obtained this image from somebody that's helped me. They have corded off the area by the crest and the launch bunker doors are open. This certainly doesn't look good.

Looks like things aren't looking good for Stealth. Last tested on Friday and nothing since. Perhaps the bad weather isn't helping the situation as I know they don't like to operate it in the rain

Stealth is on the app as delayed opening today. Let's hope she opens.

Absolutely, hopefully it's nothing too serious and she will be back up and running soon. I have checked the website and Stealth hasn't been updated as unavailable and no planned closures either

That's quite interesting. People were saying they could hear the screeching over the music in the plaza. I initially thought it was one of the trains that was the issue but today all the trains are in shed and stayed there.

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.
