Chaz Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I had a roll back a few years back - not a great thing. Just end up sitting there for ages. Quote
danhabbi Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Does stealth get to its stop speed every launch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
danhabbi Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Thought it might be something like that thanks :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
planenut Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Does stealth get to its stop speed every launch? ~This is interesting as it's based around youngsters visiting TP as a physics study..... http://rooksheathscience.com/2014/07/18/year-12-physics-students-at-thorpe-park-2014/ Quote
TraX Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Yes, rollbacks aren't that exciting. They just bring enthusiast bragging rights. I've been on two, for the record. ;-) OldFarmerDean 1 Quote
Tagemannen Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 My stomach is on 55 inch, who is over the 51 inch torso restriction on the rollercoasters, and do then think that I will not fit in the seats? Quote
CharlieN Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Well I presume that if you get in the seat, put down the restraint and you feel entirely comfortable then they'd let you ride, after all I doubt that Thorpe Park will get out a tape measure!

Stealth is more forgiving then say Colossus -- All the coasters have test seats you can try out, aslong as the seatbelt goes in you should be fine. Quote
Coaster Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 Yeah the coasters at Thorpe have test seats, and Nemesis Inferno has modified seating on two of the rows (think it's rows 3 & 4 but don't quote me on that). Colossus is the worst due to the poor train/restraint design. 400400 1 Quote
Celia Mae Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 Only one stealth train has adjustable seatbelts though and unfortunately it isn't always out Quote
Marc Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Noticed one of the trains running at the weekend had been cleaned up and had all its black vinyl's all re-done. Was looking good 400400 and MattyMoo 2 Quote
MattyMoo Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Any Stealth love by Thorpe is fine by me. Quote
Matt10 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 It was train 3, but they haven't painted the number back on yet, and it still has the names on the headrests... Graeme 1 Quote

Matt 236 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 To Stealth, the ride that got took me out of my Thorpe Park dark age. dragon2000 1 Quote
Graeme Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 It was train 3, but they haven't painted the number back on yet, and it still has the names on the headrests... Good times, was the best purchase I ever made....considering the names were supposed to be on it for a year dragon2000 1 Quote
Sam the GP Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Who here thinks Stealth would be a lot better if they added another inversion before the end?? Quote
CharlieN Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Stealth doesn't have any inversions and it would not be benefited if one was added. Quote
Sam the GP Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Sorry I didn't mean to say another. I meant to say 'a'. Silly me! Quote
L7123456 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Stealth is good as it is. A little short mind you but an inversion wouldn't add anything to the ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 400400 1 Quote
JoshC. Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Part of me always wonders if Thorpe will ever retrack Stealth to change the top hat to an inverting top hat. World's tallest inversion right there. I know it'll never happen, but it fells like such a Merlin thing to at least consider... Matt 236 1 Quote

To be honest I've heard that before and it sounds amazing... but 100% a merlin thing to do. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote
Mark9 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Ten years ago I'd have said yes. Now a days I think Stealth is fine as it is. There's four other coasters that do inversions if you really want that. Quote
rob666 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I don't think it should be an inversion, they should just bung Rita's circuit on at the end. Combining the two rides together would make a reasonably decent ride overall, not the "half a ride" experience both rides give you. Whiteknuckle 1 Quote
