I was at the park yesterday (10/09/26). Stealth had a bad start to the day. Managed 4 laps then one of the trains had to be pulled off. It remained on reduced capacity for nearly the whole day. Engineers were consistently checking restraints each time the ride broke down which would back up that it was the back row restraints causing issues. Also both trains were finding it very difficult to enter the unloading bay. Very very slow to get round the corner and into the unloading bay. Hopefully they get her healthy again soon. The engineering team really are fantastic with Stealth. I appreciate it as it's my number 1 coaster in the UK. Stealth remains very close to my heart for the reason it's launch is something special. And now a world record holder. It'll be a real sad day when Thorpe get rid.
I have to drive 3hr 40 mins each way to get to Stealth. But always it's very worth it. Can just about hack it in a day.
P.s thanks to the staff for walking us to Nemesis Inferno fastrack for the breakdowns.

I did 6 hours of driving today to get back on Stealth. (3 hours each way and going around the theme park).
She really did well. I managed to get 8 rides on her whilst doing the other coasters. No fast track. Really so chuffed with engineering 😀. Great job Thorpe 😀
Just about managed it all in a day. Knackered myself but worth it.
It's always a massive gamble with the cost of fuel and getting up at 4am to be home for 9pm.

It's a cable replacement and nothing crazy.

The previous prolonged closure is not ideal, but if history is anything to go by, it should be okay now.

App says it’ll be reopening this Friday 1st May, which is in line with how long it takes them to do a cable change.

They regularly do them a little faster than scheduled so wouldn’t surprise me to see it open Thursday afternoon.

Saying that, they're all related in one way or another so it's best to replace all of them.

It's because they decided to replace the cable now whilst its having catch car issues, best to rectify all the issues now in one go..

Whoa! Poor Stealth, get better soon 😭

What's happened now 😭

I'm quite impressed with engineering managing to get her back up this quick, massive props!!

She's had a few test runs today. Looking quite promising. The launch bunker doors were open the other day. Perhaps they've done a cable change too.

Heard news that she's been testing today 😀

Interestingly Stealth has updated on the app to closed. Rather than closed all day or closed today. Perhaps some hope 😀

Though a different situation to last year (where Stealth effectively opened weeks into the season), it must be a concern for the park that for the second year running they've had early-season issues with Stealth.

The issues with hydraulic launches are well documented now. And one as powerful as Stealth will add to that complexity.

At the same time, Thorpe are well-versed in dealing with complex, unique and temperamental rides (for better or worse). So hopefully they're not thinking of giving it up yet. But equally, from a purely business perspective, if this keeps happening, one has to expect they'll at least consider changes to it.

Not as off yet, nobody has told me anything; whether that's a matter of not being able to tell idk but we'll just have to wait and see

Thank you for the update, hopefully they fix it soon (and hopefully fix the second return motor to up the catch car return speed) maybe go on some of the rides in close vicinity like Swarm or Detonator to get a good view of whats going on.

I am in contact with Zone 3 staff so I shall ask what's going on 😁

Closed all day again today, no train on the track, a sign in the plaza and a member of staff letting people know, but that’s it 😭

Thanks for this Jax, I will keep an eye on the ride activity. It's a shame she's such a complex ride but nevertheless the engineering team do an amazing job trying to get her back. Must be a hard job for them

It looks like Stealth has been having a few issues recently. It's not looking great. Hopefully it isn't too bad and the engineers have her fixed soon enough.

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

Great news, thanks.
