Harry.D.C Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 A 10 stone person isn't going to have any effect on a 10 tonne train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it got stuck at the top hat full of passengers, methinks it would've been on the news somehow...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 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.

treeis Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Stealth always seems to have a little delay at the start of each day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam P Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 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.
