Inferno14 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have only been on it once. It was awesome, that launch is just; wow! I can't wait to ride it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbly Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Does anybody have any idea if Stealth will be up and running for opening weekend as I heard something about the motor being stolen for a truck or something.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The motor being stolen for a truck? :PI don't think there has been any testing going on at weekends that we can see, but they may well have been testing it over the weekdays in preperation for opening. It doesn't look too promising though, same for Slammer and Samurai. I do hope we aren't dissapointed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbly Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am going to be very disappointed if they aren't up and running for opening day. It will be a very poor start to the season (even with Saw opening) in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxharvey Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I will also be dissapointed if stealth, slammer and samurai are not open on the 14th as they are my 3 favourite rides at thorpe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I will also be dissapointed if stealth, slammer and samurai are not open on the 14th as they are my 3 favourite rides at thorpe!They are my favourite rides aswell LOL. I'm going on the 20th. hopefully all the rides are open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 There is a rumour that the truck carrying Stealths motor was stolen. Was said by a well-respected member on SP, but no one knows for sure really. Will just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rush Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I read somewhere that the RCCGB have a trip planned to the park on 21st march, apparently the trip includes a ride take over on stealth. (what does ride take over mean?)Does this mean Thorpe are confident there is a chance it will be operational for the 21st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Does this mean Thorpe are confident there is a chance it will be operational for the 21st?By the sounds of it hope it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 What does ride take over mean?It means that there will be so many people from RCCGB that they will all be filling up either 1 or 2 trains to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 After the park shuts, we have Saw for a whole hour. It's called an ERS, Exclusive ride session.As tpkabz said, a ride take over is just where we gather at a ride in a big group and get a few rides in, it's not an official takeover, it's optional.

Tom Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I might go on the trip, might not. :/I went to the Loopathon last year, was awesome.I remember you were behind me and my friends in the queue for Rita Whiteknuckle... and in my YourDay video!

Mark9 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 There is a rumour that the truck carrying Stealths motor was stolen. Was said by a well-respected member on SP, but no one knows for sure really. Will just have to wait and see.It didn't happen. I belief Stealth has a lot of issues at the moment, however at this point just relax and prepare for a pleasurable experience, there is no cause for concern.As for the Stealth ride take-over, I presume if it's not open you guys will just do it on something else.

Hurri Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 If it didn't happen, it was a story invented by several members of staff across various areas of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'd say theres either someone (or a group of people) having a blatant joke at Thorpe Park fans expense or just a case of Chinese Whispers. Lest we forget the news that Samurai being rethemed for 2009 came from a well respected member and nothing came of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I hope it is open becuase Stealth is their signature ride and it will not be acceptable if it is closed on main season opening, even with the opening of SAW - The Ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Believe it or not, the park will want Stealth open much more than you do. They will be working as hard as they can to try and get all the rides open ready for main season start. SteveJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 As far as talk of Samurai, the Mondial thing was deffo on the cards, I'm unsure as to why it never happened. The re-theme was something they would have liked again, unsure why none of it happened!Fingers crossed for Stealth, see how it looks this weekend.

furiouspanda Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well.. if you look at the scafolding around Tidal Wave...It is very very close to where stealth's track runs.Would this not be an explanation for it not opening for Thrill Chill?

James Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Tidal Waves scaffolding isn't near enough to Stealth for it to require closure. As far as I know, Stealth has been recieving work in the winch building? I don't know if its been testing or anything lately however.
