September 26, 200915 yr comment_71325 Stealth doesn't need a loop and I can hardly see Thorpe ever putting one in as Stealth still draws many people without a loop so you might as well stop hoping I was never 'hoping', I was just saying how I'd prefure it with a loop the loop. It is clearly a consept that would never be instaled on the ride.
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71333 I would be quite pleased if Stealth had a loop. I know its never going to happen, but the loop is my favoriot inversion and would look quite nice where the bunny hop is.
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71378 Woah, a loop on Stealth?!?Thats crazy! Many first timers are scared of the height and acceleration, let alone a loop to go with it!I think that if it did have a loop, it would only attract thrill seekers like us who have been on it a zillion times. We take it for granted now but just think backto how scared you were first time on it. I nearly chickened out after waiting nearly 3 hours first time I went on it.But I think maybe a small overbank-turn at the end would be pretty cool.
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71379 Supposedly, from what I heard, Stealth was originally going to have the same layout as Accelerator.
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71386 Stealth:-Queen of speed As Ricky said I thought it was originally planned to have a similiar layout to Accelerator aswell!
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71387 Very good idea whiteknuckle! I would enjoy that ride a lot, I dont like Rita much as it hurts my ear at the end of the launch.
September 27, 200915 yr comment_71424 yep it was going to have the same layout as xcell. apparently it wold of been 2mill more to do it, they dident think that the overbanks were very exciting. look at this though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2b6OaI0BXM 100mph test, now that would be wicked
September 28, 200915 yr comment_71435 Yes, it is indeed true.However, I dont think the overbanks would be very exciting, though I would have liked to have seen the proposed grandstand.
September 28, 200915 yr comment_71437 I think everyone wished that grandstand would have been built. In my opinion they possibly should have done a sort of compromise of what we have now and what the original plan was, maybe 1 over bank and an airtime hill.
September 28, 200915 yr comment_71467 The grand stand would have looked nice, but nasty to queue in I expect.
October 4, 200915 yr comment_71911 Silly me if everyone saw this at the ERT yesterday, but stealth has smoke once again. Go Go Go!
October 6, 200915 yr comment_72140 Right I was getting to the stealth smoke, Shehzad, who is also a bit dedicated to his job, has tried fixing the stealth smoke, unfortunately only one side works at present! ( And Marc, just to add the smoke was on, on saturday but it was barely visible to the eye, ask ryan!)EDIT: Just found out that stealth smoke is now on both sides and thick
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72242 EDIT: Just found out that stealth smoke is now on both sides and thick That's good that went really well with fright nights last year because after the first cart went the second one come foward through it it looked good and scary
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72284 Not 30 minutes ago I drove past THORPE PARK and Stealth was illuminated in green lights, which I don't normally see. Possibly for fright nights?
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72290 Sounds good. If it is going to be lit up, that will look good behind the illuminated flame of Tidal.
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72299 I always remember Stealth at the Fright Nights 2005 and the track had a sort of running lights around the track and it looked unbelievable. I've always wondered why they changed it.
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72304 James, the lights you were on about were called moving head lights. They were situated in the Stealth Plaza Area to get the right effect and it was a big promotion for it during FN 2005. Yes it looked good, I hope it would come back, but it probably wouldn't, those lights are by no means cheap...
October 8, 200915 yr comment_72307 stealth was down today. I think it will be fine for the weekend though, I hope its open for all of fright nights. I would marry it in the dark such a grate atmosphere.
October 9, 200915 yr comment_72404 They have, I would of thought all of them are finished by now.Thats good looking foward to see it counting down the days till fright nights
