Do we know what’s actually been causing Stealth and Rita’s repeated downtime?

 

It seems odd that they’d both be having such sporadic reliability at the same time. Might the issues be connected in some way?

 

Upon Kingda Ka's passing, it cursed all the accelerator models.

Stealth's repeated downtime is very different. 

 

It had its issue at the start of the season, which was a big unexpected hiccup from winter maintenance. Since then, it's had two, pre-planned, periods of downtime. One of them was for a launch cable replacement, which happens yearly. The other I do not know, but since it was short, pre-planned and stayed on schedule, I don't think is a major concern.

 

Rita has suffered longer, not-planned closures, with no known opening date advertised during those closures. That indicates that those issues are actual problems with the ride which needed fixing / parts replacing. 

 

I don't think the two are linked, and it's more coincidence that there's two rides of the same time that have experienced downtime in the same year.
