Sadly though, if it's one plastic pipe in this weather then they're going to have to do rapid checks on all similar fittings. Each of the brake vanes has these.

July 30Jul 30 comment_331995 After last weeks annoyance of the Service, a new cable and train 3 refurbished, yesterday Stealth ran really well and the team were pushing the trains through quickly, even in the high temperatures.Both trains had also been cleaned.

August 7Aug 7 comment_332245 Wildest reaction to launch yesterday. A young woman alongside me flung her arm out (still attached to her body) grabbing me almost by the throat in terror, so intense that I had to check she hadn't ripped my shirt, wow! She did apologize afterwards.

Looks like they will also be putting on a 2 hour ERT for Stealth but no date confirmed yet. You can sign up for more information here - https://www.thorpepark.com/newsletter-sign-up-stealth/
54 minutes ago54 min comment_333025 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.
