It is having teething problems but we went on it loads yesterday - it just kept breaking down for small periods of time otherwise it is went to be open.

Charlesberg Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Is it me? Or is Stealth turning into an actual Intamin Accelerator? (I'm saying this because Intamin Accelerators always break down, whereas Stealth used to have a surprisingly small amount of downtime for an Intamin Accelerator.)

ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Will stealth be closed on Wednesday as it has had numerous breakdowns recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 It was open this morning (on one train) but then closed at about 12:30 ish, there were multiple test runs going on throughout the day but it didn't actually reopen. I expect the same might happen on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Don't know how true this is http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/emergency-services-called-after-youths-climb-thorpe-park-rollercoaster-late-at-night/story-30275515-detail/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Obviously a foolish thing to do- but that must have taken some guts! I presume they will now be facing a ban from the park or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who enters a ride area is liable to prosecution. And these guys broke into the park after hours, so it might be more than just prosecution if you ask me!

Duncanc Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Blimey it takes some guts for them to do that, foolish guts mind. Anybody know how they actually got caught? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 The park have night security - there's also (maybe) sill engineers around at 10 ish so they could have spotted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasters are sometimes dispatched at night for 1 run to switch trains over on nemesis and Colossus, so that could have proved fatal if they wernt spotted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 That is totally insane if they did that with no ropes or gear. I guess the track is effectively like a ladder but even so - absolutely crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Have hidden a couple of posts which linked to the person's social media. We don't condone the actions of the group of people who trespassed onto the park, and as such we do not want to generate traffic and attention towards their social media. Needless to say that the people have been banned from Thorpe for 2 years and face further action if they try and get into the park in that period. If anyone had any questions or concerns about us hiding content, please contact one of the team. If not, let's try and move on and not give these idiots any more attention. Thanks!

Stuntman707 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fair enough, I'm more interested in how Thorpe deals with stuff like this. How did they get into the Stealth console? Clearly showed the ride was on and in manual mode. They could have done anything to it. Han30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 2 year ban isn't long enough - and they should have got fined for trespassing - muppets. I saw a vid on a FB link earlier and my main concern is that (stupid) people might watch it and think "oh that looks like a good idea" Anyhoo - back on topic - I haven't ridden Stealth yet this season - it's been quite a while that riding Rita a week ago felt really fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt10 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Stealth really isn't having a good year. Finally after my eleventh time of joining the queue, and one time of having to get out of the train when boarding, for a test run, for it to not reopen for the rest of the day, I've got on it. Only took a good four visits.[emoji17]Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Coaster Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Lately I've been finding stealth at little rough on the launch and the entry to the top hat. It seems most thorpe rollercoasters are getting a bit rough and the last time they installed one was 2012. The only outstanding coasters at Thorpe are the b&ms. So I feel like maybe 2018 needs to be the year for thorpe park to invest in a big Coaster!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth are they supposed to build a roller coaster from scratch in under a year? How absurd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 For a new coaster to open in 2018 they wouldn't need to start vertical construction until about November for a march opening (Merlin seems to aim for May anyway). Steel construction is very fast and as Thorpe is very flat the foundation's wouldn't be complicated to construct. The thing that would take the most time would likely be the planning permission which they still have time for. That being said they spent a lot of money DBGT and I suspect 2018 is a low investment year. So I would say 2019/2020 is when the next coaster might come along.
