The "Tweakage" was just a marketing schemeI know I'm going back a fair way here, but I'd just like to point out that this is not at all true. The ride did have it's launch speed ajusted, and I have an extremely reliable source on that one. I'm not too certain where the marketing scheme rumour came from, but it isn't true.And my first post here! Woop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woop.Nope, marketing just changed where they measured the launch time from - 2.3 is from launch started to bottom of top hat, 1.9 is middle of launch track where the catch dog lifts from the catch car.

EdH Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I thought they make the ride faster?As wasn't it originally 0-60 in 2.3 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Kid Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Its always been 0 - 80mph in 1.9 secs roughly, give or take.The acceleration change never actually happened. Just marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ^ A Kid you probably have the same source as me (being on CF), but what I was told when I asked the head engineer of Stealth at the time, (know him personally, not just quick word at the park) I was told that the launch was ajusted. So that's my source and that's what I stand by. What reason would he have to lie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 rossafc said: sound like a very reliable source to me I think the tweaking was obviously primarily a marketing stunt, although the launch was adjusted slightly. They might have exaggerated it a bit, but they can't exactly lie by saying that the ride launch has been tweaked when it hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Kid Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ^^^ Would that be Lee/Undead Creature as he was known on there? That would be the same source as me then. Was always going into details about Stealth and Rita. Even down to them being planned as one ride originaly, split into two. Too bad he's gone now though.

Nickb91 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Dont know if anybody else saw today but somebody had a heart attack in the queue line for stealth. At the top of the stairs, they closed the ride off for a while while an ambulance drove up to it. Waited for bout 40 minutes then it reopened last hour of the day after being closed all morning of what I saw. Not sure what happened to him, he diddnt actually get on but they took him away in an ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeis Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Alot of people suffer from things in the stealth queue line... I remember someone having a panic attack once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdH Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Its because it is right in the sunshine - there is no shade. Also the BEES AND WASPS - so annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny07 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 ... and also because they're a little bit worried about being launched at 80mph and a good 200ft? Sunshine and insects aren't usually major triggers for a panic/heat attack etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It is true. A lot of people suffer in the Stealth queueline in the summer as there is no shade. It's harsh in the sun and unlike some US parks, there are no water fountains in the queueline. I'm unaware if the guest had an actual heart attack, but fainting in the heat is not at all rare.
