April 14, 200916 yr comment_52702 Obviously the train is not going to derail. It can't due to the wheels that surround the track.However, I presume that if a train full of people got stuck on the top hat, it would put immense strain on the structure? I mean, the engineers would want to see it down much much quicker than they did when the train got stuck empty on the top during testing.I know this might sound ridiculous but if it did happen could they release the restraints (relying on the seat-belts) and get people to rock back and forward? It sounds ridiculous but would it work? Never mind the H&S issues lol

April 14, 200916 yr comment_52706 I'm pretty sure that when Stealth got stuck at the top of it's top hat, it was completely empty on one of it's test runs before the park opened.
April 14, 200916 yr comment_52707 A 10 stone person isn't going to have any effect on a 10 tonne train Good point
April 14, 200916 yr comment_52725 ^Thats correct, it was bought down and reopened later that day.Ah good, thanks! If it got stuck at the top hat full of passengers, methinks it would've been on the news somehow...!
April 14, 200916 yr comment_52726 Stealth has received an ugly YORKIE sponsorship Wow your out of the loop You have been away a while right? Skiing I remember reading? Have fun? Yea it was put up a while ago and I think everyone here hates it lol

I mean, the engineers would want to see it down much much quicker than they did when the train got stuck empty on the top during testing.But if you think about it, what difference is the combined weight of the riders going to make if the train already weighs 10 tonnes? . Not much.
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53574 Yesterday I went straight for stealth as I think saw has got too boring for me Stealth was having some minor problems at the start of the day as we were told we could not go on it yet, But right after that we heard over the PA the queue line was ready to be open I got on the first train of the day and was at the front, it was just me and 3 others for testing purposes only. I decided to queue up again but then I heard there was a delay so I thought bugger it then I headed off to Nemesis and Colossus. So I had one ride on stealth all day.. oh well.
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53590 Stealth always seems to have a little delay at the start of each day...
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53606 Stealth always seems to have a little delay at the start of each day...That's weird, the last 6 times that I've been to Thorpe and Stealth was open, it was always open on time. It's just random luck.
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53612 Stealth always seems to have a little delay at the start of each day...Same I have always noticed that, it always opens at like 10:30 for me.
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53624 Stealth always seems to have a little delay at the start of each day...It was very good last year all the times I went it was closed once once it was delayed and opened at around 10:30 and the rest of the time it was open the same time the park opened.
April 23, 200916 yr comment_53746 I hope to see the yorkie advertising gone the next time I'm there Same it looks horrid.
April 23, 200916 yr comment_53763 Did'nt notice it yesterday, though I was'nt really paying that much attention
April 23, 200916 yr comment_53783 It's not that bad. Stickers are already peeling off the trains and the odd poster is tolerable.
April 23, 200916 yr comment_53784 I went monday tuesday and wednesday and today and hey its still there and the ride host said its the new spomsor so its going to be there a while lol Just like the good days when rumba rapids was ribena lol
April 24, 200916 yr comment_53810 Has anyone got any pictures of the stealth cars with Yorkie stickers or Yorkie posters?
April 24, 200916 yr comment_53840 Its hardly bad, its has a few posters and stickers on the cars (Some very comical! I can think of worse!
