BigBobJones Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'd love a roll back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 And if they do happen you get a free t-shirt to prove it apparently.I've never seen or heard of those t-shirts, but in some ways they're a bit pointless because it doesn't exactly prove much. Stealth was shut all day today. May have been because the temperature was close to dropping below 5 Degrees which I believe is the lowest temperature that they can run the ride at. I dunno about the Thorpe and Chertsey area but it's certainly been warmer than 5 degrees today, although not that much, probably no more than 10.

Jammy3112 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well, Thorpe do themed condoms, so I don't see why Stealth scented candles are out of reach Does the launch speed get slightly increased after a rollback for a second go or ?

BigBobJones Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I think they have taken the smoke machine from Rita as she no longer smokes when she launches LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have to say the kudos to all the little patch up's Thorpe Park have done this yeah and it is great to see the smoke back again. Is it just me but when the ride has finished I have never heard before well done for finishing the race - I thought it was a nice touch. Also Zastanawiam się, jak długo to będzie przed Stealth wygląda jak plac budowy, jak Rita. Nie chcemy żadnych urazów z innym przyciągania kablowej mielibyśmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is it just me but when the ride has finished I have never heard before well done for finishing the race - I thought it was a nice touch. Yeah it was a new announcement I think, last year they had one that simply said "Thank you for riding stealth - please release your seatbelt" or something like that.

RideAddict Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, they only had that one last year. Oh well, maybe a change was due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've never noticed until today that the rope isn't even straight. It's at a slant! Just looks so stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Actually, I'd forgot that. The next time I go over the top hat I must remember to look down to the side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP1214 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hey after visiting Thorpe today I noticed in the last week they've changed what remained of the American flag to a British flag Just doesn't look right to me having a British flag in an American themed area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Stealth worked fine for me yesterday afternoon (between 3 and 4) other than a minor problem which was resolved in a few minutes.I also noticed that the American flag (which was torn on the Opening Meet) has been replaced, but with a British flag. Last time I checked Amity was still themed to an American town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planenut Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Went in to TP today, first venture after the winter, then the cold. My favourite ride, Stealth, luckily was working, and it was good to meet some of the new ops. along with some familiar faces. A great day riding, though it did have three technical failures causing ten minute breaks, so was a good time to use the facilities and replenish with drinks.

John Silver Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 My mouth waters when I think about this ride. The long slender tracks are truly arousing and the sensation that you feel when the launch begins is unforgettable. I have never ridden a coaster this intense outside of America before. This is my favorite ride at Thorpe Park. Having said that, I do feel it's time for it to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite ride at Thorpe Park. Having said that, I do feel it's time for it to be removed. What an odd thing to say. Stealth is one of the stalwarts of this nest of nutty rides, and is a draw on it's own. When rides are empty then that's the time to consider removal. Luckily with Merlins recent refurbishment of less well attended rides, Stealth is safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Stealth is the best ride at Thorpe IMO, I would say Saw but due to it being rough as old boots and over-shaddowed by The Smiler, it's gone down my list. You leave Stealth alone, if you want real excitement, there is always the Flying Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm really confused your talking about the best ride at Thorpe, yet your saying its gone down your list because of The Smiler? Last I checked neither where in the same park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 BBJ is saying Saw has gone down in his estimations as The Smiler shows what can be done with the same ride type, I think. Stealth is the most fun coaster on the park for me, I don't think I'd ever get bored of that launch. BigBobJones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planenut Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Though it is of short duration, and it never ceases to amaze me that some people queue for quite a while, then ride it and ask if that was it? - what have they been watching whilst in the queue? I digress; Stealth has everything except a loop; fantastic turn of speed, sudden change in direction and Positive G, that fantastic view, if you're quick, with the negative G of the tophat, then that wonderful freefall , to the pressure in the bottom gully, followed by another float over the bunnyhop, with the added pleasure of watching people's mobile phones flying past us - Doh!

JoshC. Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 To me, Stealth just isn't what I want in a ride. I'd be lying if I said on my first ride I wasn't blown away by the launch, but it quickly wears off. Even then, after my first ride, I would have happily said I preferred Inferno and Colossus to it. I still enjoy it, and the launch is decent, but it just doesn't impress me. I guess the reriding of it plays a part, but other rides haven't worn off on me, so I'm not quite sure...

Marc Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Stealths a firm favourite of mine, the ride its self is great, the launch whilst obviously not as special as it was when I first rode is still pretty amazing, and the general atmosphere around the ride I find great, theres always such a build up of excitement around the area.

EC! Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 This ride never fails to impress me, short but so intense, and the airtime hope Thorpe's signature attraction stay for a few more years yet AdventureRyan and BigBobJones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
