August 7, 200916 yr comment_65665 One train hasn't been used for months though, because it's the "rollback train" - not sure which one it is?train 2if you look carefully in the workshop-you can see its base and weels on the side track being repaired.the seats,restraints and everything else has been removed.its been like that for months now
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65667 It was a September last year I saw it roll back, that's nearly a year.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65676 THORPE PARK have now been saying that no rollbacks will happen at all, this is very wrong, there was a rollback yesterday and two that I know of since they "stopped them"
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65685 THORPE PARK have now been saying that no rollbacks will happen at all, this is very wrong, there was a rollback yesterday and two that I know of since they "stopped them"I was there yesturday-when was there one?????was anyone on it???
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65696 Stealth seems to be slipping up a lot more frequently this year than last, with minor technical delays etc.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65717 Stealth seems to be slipping up a lot more frequently this year than last, with minor technical delays etc.it may still not be reliable but its alot more reliable then last year, it does have the odd brake down in the middle of the day.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65721 THORPE PARK have now been saying that no rollbacks will happen at all, this is very wrong, there was a rollback yesterday and two that I know of since they "stopped them"When have Thorpe ever said there will be no rollbacks? =s With the hot weather Stealth operates better, exactly the same as rides like it across the world.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65737 Staff members are saying that its been tweaked again so rollbacks cannot happen anymore.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65738 Yes I got that message too. Or though it was more "to make rollbacks less likely to happen".
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65760 THORPE PARK have now been saying that no rollbacks will happen at all, this is very wrong, there was a rollback yesterday and two that I know of since they "stopped them"You are correct. I have discussed this here before on the forum, and in a nutshell, preventing rollbacks is impossible, no matter what they do to Stealth. Tweak it, change the wheels, balance levelling - whatever, a rollback is still possible. If Thorpe think rollbacks are a thing of the past then they need to get their heads out of the clouds and see reality. They will happen. I know Stealth don't want them to happen ever, but it's impossible.I apologise for getting on my high horse about this, but it's something the park need to understand.Thorpe think they've got problems. Ha! Just think of poor old Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster across the pond.
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65768 Could someone link me to where Thorpe Park has expressly said that rollbacks on Stealth will never happen again...
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65770 No one has said it as far as I'm aware. But if I see someone ask this question in the next session of "Questions to Thorpe Park" forum, I'll be disappointed.
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65771 Could someone link me to where Thorpe Park has expressly said that rollbacks on Stealth will never happen again...Yes, people have mentioned before that they have heard it from staff etc, but is this statement actually in writing from Thorpe Park?I think Thorpe know that rollbacks can and will still happen, although they may have tried what they can to prevent them.
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66121 Down again.Hopefully it will be like Nemesis Inferno was and will re-open during the day even though advertised as closed.
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66123 Again... :)And about this rollbacks issue. Obviously Thorpe don't want them to happen, but I've always thought they are more of a rarity on Stealth than other accelorator coasters? I think I've only ever seen one.Maybe it's just me
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66126 I've only ever seen one when at the park, but there are plenty of videos of them on the net.
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66144 Last August I saw 8 rollbacks in one day... one of the trains (train 2) was far slower than the other. I was on a run where it sat at the top for good 5 seconds, creaping (barely moving), sadly it made it over... We got a cheer because it made it how it did...I just wish I rocked that car now... I was at the back so it would of been piss easy. I remember later on that day we got half the train to "rock it" on the way up. It slowed right up...but made it again
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66178 according to my cousin, stealth was down today. also she only got on 3 rides! saw:the riderapidsnemessis inferno
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66184 Was she there from open till close?!If she was, and not an AP holder, I would be straight to GS asking for my tickets to be re-validated!
August 13, 200916 yr comment_66186 But I guess its not Thorpe Parks fault that she only got on 3 rides
