L7123456 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've seen Stealth down quite a few times this season, hence why I haven't got on it as many times as say Saw or Inferno. Previous seasons however, it's mostly been very reliable with only short delays. The worst was when it broke down and me and a friend waited a good 30 minutes to see if they could fix before leaving. We walked through the tire onto the plaza... It reopened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt10 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 The thing is with stealth imo is that when it is running well it will be the most efficient and reliable ride on park, but as soon as it has an issue for the next few weeks it will be non stop breaking down. Just to say as well there is a blue crane mounted to the tracks in the station, which is seemingly being used for cable replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this unsettling as I'm just not at all used to seeing Stealth break down (unlike Inferno). Ive found stealth to close most of the time. The only time I've ever seen inferno break down is when there was a power cut...when I was on the lift.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattp Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Well, we can safely say that those back in July saying it would be 1-2 weeks were wrong. Nearly a month now? From the looks of the twitter with DBGT down too, they have been giving out complimentary tickets for days on end now. A bit ridiculous. Any updates on Stealth? (I don't expect anything of DBGT, It always seems to have teething issues, you are lucky if you get on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Stealth is currently awaiting a crucial part. The ride is unable to open without it. Thorpe are just waiting for the part to arrive then they can get the ride running again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesberg Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well I'm now satisfied, the last three visits to TP were missing the great adrenalin rush you get out of Stealth (the launch still gets me every time), now I will once again be able to experience that adrenalin rush!

ThemeParkLover Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Now people can complain that they went 3000miles to Thorpe just because they thought stealth was shut so they deserve compensation immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
