July 4, 200916 yr comment_62387 The reason that Stealth is currently not experiencing many rollbacks is, although partially to do with the weather, because they have taken Car 2 off the track. Any visitors of 2008 will distinctly remember that it was car 2 that did most of the rolling back, due to friction or something in the wheels. Thorpe park have, because of this, taken this car off the track and are using it as the spare car, and car 3 is now one of the main cars on the track, along with car 1.
July 5, 200916 yr comment_62449 I asked a ride host on Stealth why it hasnt rolled back for a long time, she said they have stopped it rolling back, although she didnt say how They can't stop it from rolling back, not permanently anyway. OK, so it may go through a phase of not many rollbacks, but to say that Stealth will never rollback again is like saying Slammer will never fault again - unpredictable, yet so true.
July 5, 200916 yr comment_62465 Stealth goes faster and it has new very expensive wheels instead of the cheap ones they hasd last year so good wheels means less rollbacks and nowdays stealth glides over the top of it when I was speaking to Carl on it the other day he told me xxx
July 6, 200916 yr comment_62524 They cant stop rollbacks because its scientifically impossible?Pretty much, they can do all they want to cut them down but, at the end of the day, they are still going to happen occaisionally.
July 6, 200916 yr comment_62535 I'm sure we will see more rollbacks after the summer when the weather starts to get windy/rainy
July 7, 200916 yr comment_62557 they are still going to happen occaisionally.Exactly, they will still happen.
July 7, 200916 yr comment_62561 If it was possibly to stop once rollbacks once and for all, they would have done this from the start and not bought a huge number of moving brake fins.
July 7, 200916 yr comment_62568 If it was possibly to stop once rollbacks once and for all, they would have done this from the start and not bought a huge number of moving brake fins.Not nessesseraly, when stealth was ought anti-rollback mechanizams may not of been created or even known about. therefore stealth still having the breaking system on the launch track.
July 9, 200916 yr comment_62798 Well staff members arnt allowed to give out that sort of information. So generally I dont think anyone knows unless they were there when it happened.
July 11, 200916 yr comment_63050 Yeah stealth seems to go faster over the top then I ever remember, also when it started going slower over the top they made an announcement and called engineers and then tested it once then opened it again and it was going fast again.I love stealth
July 11, 200916 yr comment_63051 I noticed that last time I went, ususally it slowly goes over the top. But this year it seems to go over easily
July 11, 200916 yr comment_63078 Probably has been tweaked again then. But I still believe a rollback will still happen.
July 11, 200916 yr comment_63084 ^ They cant stop rollback happening think they have put new wheels on so it will stop a lot more rollback happening but a few will still happen.
July 15, 200916 yr comment_63434 did anyone know there wasa replica called zaturn? here it is http://www.rcdb.com/ig3454.htm?picture=8
July 16, 200916 yr comment_63446 Yes, but it's not quite as fast as Stealth and the Air-Time Hill is shallower.
July 16, 200916 yr comment_63457 Stealth seemed very forceful yesterday, just as we went up my head was thrown forward, never happened before.
July 17, 200916 yr comment_63525 did anyone know there wasa replica called zaturn? here it is http://www.rcdb.com/ig3454.htm?picture=8Spooky. I see it opened about a month+half after Stealth did.
July 17, 200916 yr comment_63545 I prefer Stealth's colour :(Stealth is unavalible Oh, what a surprise. What's wrong with it now
