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

Thanks again Jax, brilliant advice

Thanks Jax your super useful. So the crane yesterday may not of been relevant to Stealth? I know it's a very complex ride to work on and apparently Intamin won't support the current accelerator model so I'd imagine that Thrope are having a hard time at the moment. I guess it could be one reason to not to do business with Intamin in the future if that's the case. I definitely think they should support Thorpe since they manufactured the ride so it's a rather sad story. I could only think that the part they need could have to be custom made and then authorized by Intamin to be used on the ride which I guess is a long process.

Thanks Jax that's interesting. So they must actively be working on it. I'm not entirely sure what's up with Stealth because I keep hearing mixed rumors. I've heard from somebody it's a launch cable needs replacing. But then I've read elsewhere that it's something to do with the accumulators for the launch or the pressure not building up for the launch. Either way Stealth is my favourite ride and and I'm going Tuesday so I'm trying to stay optimistic that it will open but I have my doubts. Does anybody know exactly what is wrong with Stealth? I can only think the launch mechanism as It's been down for a while. Thanks to everybody though for sharing your views because they are super useful :)
