Jax Posted Friday at 02:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:15 PM The crane yesterday was in the middle of the Stealth plaza facing towards the top hat, so it may well have been. I wouldn't be surprised if the support for these older models is more limited now but I'd be surprised if Intamin providing no support at all. You'd be right in saying that the part needs to be sourced elsewhere, but hopefully it shouldn't be too long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted Friday at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:05 PM Just to make it clear, Intamin have in no way stopped providing support for their Accelerators. Whilst it's true they don't offer the model any more (or at least, no one has considered doing so for over a decade), it in no way means they've washed their hands of it. Thorpe/Merlin and Intamin maintain a respectable working relationship, and that is also related to the current issue(s).

The doors to the launch weren’t open either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted Friday at 05:56 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:56 PM Good to see there's a bit of action going on (albeit small) but at least we know there's something going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappomatic Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago The app has one shot Fastrack available for Stealth from 1st June onwards - maybe hints at the expected timescale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago I wouldn't be too sure. They just stick random dates there. What's the availability like after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
