adam_sparks1 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share 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. Neither of them are half a ride... They give you a launch experience; which the model of coaster is all about. Both are sweet and short, and do their jobs well. But in an ideal world we wish for a Xcellerator from Knotts.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I would hate an inversions. For a person who could be scared of inversions, stealth is good as it is the only big thrill coaster that never goes upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-S Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The thing just needs to be longer with smoother corner transitions, by the time a newbie has got over the shock/rejoice* of the launch and top hat, the ride is over. Same goes for Rita, they're both too rough and short to be enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_sparks1 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Stealth isn't rough, it's just fast and forceful. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Not rough, just short, Rita is the rough one in the family. But yes, Saw isn't my favourite ride by a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I do think stealth would certainly benefit from a having lap bar. It could aid potential airtime on the top hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzzellio Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's too slow over the top hat to gain airtime even with a lapbar. Partaking in geekery since 1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 ^ increase the speed to gain airtime. A lap bar would certainly benefit Stealth; I don't see it happening however. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Plus, if we're going down the road of changing trains on Thorpe coasters, I can think of one that should be far further up their list... hello Intamin?

Marc Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 If there was to be lap bars on stealth I think you would get less air time as the hosts would pin you more than they do with its current restraints Ryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Yep agreed - Stealth is fine (and beautiful) as it is. Just scrap Rita and use the trains as spares for Stealth #everyonewins slendercat, Kerfuffle and 400400 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L7123456 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Why does everyone hate Saw! It's not the best ride but it's not the worst either. But back to Stealth now!

ben199 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'd laugh if people thought the ride was breaking lmaoI used to work on Dino Safari at Legoland where there's a similar smoke effect at the volcano bit. The amount of people who reported that to me as a fire or malfunction when they got off was actually frightening.
