  • i was on a rollback once it is amazing

  • too many fat asses on the ride

  • Apparently it does that every twelve goes :L

  • It never has a roll back when i am there

  • i've been on this, FUCKING WICKED DUDE BRO G.

  • @XCPOVTX1 If you don't mind me asking, what "very small THEME park" do you live next to?

    Just calling your bluff out of interest.

  • stealth king da ka AND top thrill are all ment to handle this situation....

  • it ASDAs fault there always rolling back shit

  • i heard this was the fastest rollercoaster in a country or something.THIS RIDE IS NOTHING! XD.That's really sad.they think 80mph is fast?!i live next to a very small THEME park and there are coasters there 80mph.Very Sad UK.Sad!

  • @XCPOVTX1 Your very sad. Where do you live? 1. It IS 80mph!! 2. It IS the fastest in the UK!

    It may not be better than Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka, but at least Thorpe Park have put the effort into building this and made a thrill for everyone! If you bother to comment like that you may aswell not watch these vids, you miserable cow.

  • @MrAaron1573 what if i am a cow that is miserable

  • @XCPOVTX1 well, your a cow that is miserable

  • @XCPOVTX1 probably 80km/h... 80mph is way too fast for a small park

  • @AllegroCrab Your a retard, this is definitely 80mph..... 80km/h = 50 mph LOL no way that coaster could get up 200ft of vertical incline on just 50mph.... do maths.

  • omg me and my bff's are gonna go on it in 2 wks! lol imagine rolling bk

  • Even European girls eat too many twinkies

  • Dam man theres people were screaming like going backwards was the ride i was like shouting on my computer screen " THATS NOT THE RIDE HONEY! " :D

  • if u want to go on a roll back go early in the morning

  • I want to do that but that has never happens to me!!!!!!!

  • we went yesterday and it was the wettest coldest day and we didnt see a single rollback

  • what if they increase the speed to stoll the rbs and then u fly of the top

  • it says it's a regular occurance and do not worry if it happens to you :P

  • stealth should luanch backwards so its like a rollbackwhen you come down the otherside

  • I was hoping it would happen today so I could get a free t shirt

  • Roolbacks are history now! Although they still happen...they are VERY rare! Because when Stealth launches it goes right over the tophat [without creeping over!] But now if it were to have a short shot! It would creep over like it used to & THAT! Would be the closest you'd get to a rollback! Other than bad weather & technical faults thats it!

  • I'm pretty sure that the rollback happens because:

    The system bases the trajectory on the 5 previous launches. If the 5 previous trains had quite light people on, then less people are needed. If a heavier load then comes on, it will not have enough. Thus it does happen regularly

  • id like a ride which just accelerates really really fast over a straight line, like a car lol,

  • I dunno why, but this would make a great little Britain fat fighters scene...

  • You were lucky to film that! I'd luv tobe on a roll back :)

  • i really really want that to happen to meh its look awsome

  • I wish it happened to me because it looks awesome :D

  • I appreciate your input, but please, fuck off.

  • Is a rollback suppose to happen?? or is it a special thing 4 luky ppl lol

  • I want to go on a rollback :D

  • Stormrunner dosen't have any rollbacks!

  • stealth is a rip off kk

  • They are both made by Intamin AG

  • SHIT !

  • stealth rolled bak toda

  • this thing looks like nothing try the top thrill dragster or kingda ka! those ones are awesome!

  • Umm Who Cares about Kingda ka or top thrill, there thousands of miles away, and this has faster acceleration anyway...

  • 0-80?? -rolls on floor laughing- STORM RUNNER GOES 0-82 in 2 SECONDS!!!

    anyways, Storm Runner NEVER had a rollback, and besides, what do they do when it has a rollback?

  • Stealth (This) Goes 0-82 In 1,3 Seconds Faster Than Storm Runner

  • Storm runner goes 72mph in 2 seconds, and Stealth goes 80mph in 2.83 seconds. So if you do some quick math storm runner has faster acceleration, do a little research before you make a false statement and look like an idiot.

  • It Is 1.3 Orginally Stealth Went 0-80 In About 2.3 Seconds Then A Year Later In 2007 They Upgraded It So It Reaches 0-80 In 1.3

  • That would be almost 6.7 acceleration g forces, way too many for a roller coaster the blood would rush to your brain and you would pass out. The only people that can take that are airforce pilots.

  • also i did a little bit more research and it does it in 1.8 not 1.3

  • @homiewannalive

    YOU look like an idiot! Stealth goes 0 - 80 in around 2 seconds, 2.3 i think. So why don't you do a little research before you make a false statement and look like an idiot?

  • @HighFlyer577 I was actually talking about when it opened and maybe you should do some research because it is actually 1.8 seconds now. Ok thanks bye.

  • @TheGamersOpinion Also this is homie I am just on a different account.

  • @TheGamersOpinion yeh your right i asked the guy and it goes 0-80 in 1.8

  • Storm Runner hasn't got 100 degree angles both sides. Stealth has. That's why it has roll backs because of it not reaching it's time and that it has to go in itself then keep going up.

  • Isn't a one hundred degree angle stright up?

  • Nope, 90 degree is straight up :)

  • Thanks, lol exuse my being stupid

  • Lucky them ;D

    'cos they got the

    "I survived the rollback" T-shirt aha xD

  • Rollbacks usually happen when there is alot of weight at the back - fat people.

  • i'm gonna get some fat people to sit in the back coz' i wanna be on a rollback . (x

  • stealth is just about the scariest ride i have ever been on in a theme park ! it goees so fast you can hardly breath... i love it though ! i would deffinatly go on again. xxx

  • I think it only has rollbacks if a fat guy/woman sits in the front xD

  • can you really feel the g-force on this??

  • This has you pinned back in your seat. 0-80 in roughly 2 seconds. It really shit me up, why do we do these kinda things for fun??

  • oh yeahh you do .i went two times on it yesterday its so much fun!

  • I hate falling backwards

  • i love stealth its the funnest ride ever! but i really hurt my neck because befor you go on it says hold your head back and i didn't lol but GREAT RIDE !

  • lol! I had a roll back on this ride in South Africa and every one was at there like WTF just happned. In england everyone would be screaming (for exampl the video)

  • lol this was funny with that music in the backround "i fought the law and the law won"

  • i wished it rolled back on me, i was hoping 3 times i went on it that it would, neva happened tho :(

  • you know its never gonna roll back again. they increased the speed

  • Incorrect, it still has regular rollbacks, especially at the start of the day and during wet / windy conditions.

  • yeh but were in summer. rollbacks are usually in winter. plus there hasnt been a rollback in weeks

  • true it does it a lot when it doesnt reach the correct impact ; it cant reach the same speed every time so thats what happens when it doesnt

  • oh how gutted would you be if you got all the way to the top and it rolled back! at least youd get to do it again :D

  • y would u be gutted? it would be even funner and better!

  • lol like i said 'at least youd get to do it again'.

    it just seems to fall back even when it looks like its about to go down the drop, which could be quite gutting for some lool but personally i think id enjoy it :)

  • on the stealth sign it says this ride will have an occasional rollback its not because its broken.

  • ive been on a rollback on stealkth my first ever rollercoaster nd it had to have a rollback right then.. :O

    i was soooooo scared i was nearly wetting myself and i dont want that do i

    :I oh well it was still funny :D

  • How come, i was on stealth yeah, and it did a rollback but it was like right near the egge where it was really had to fall down and it still did a rollback! :S

  • OMG

  • yup ive done one of those :)

    makes me feel privaledged lol

    and they're not demolishing it

    throughout xmas, when the park was shut, they have been improving it so this won't happen

    it will have another opening at the same time as saw

  • Comment removed

  • I think theyre demolishing Stealth coz this keeps happening.

    Don't go mad at me, I just heard it from a friend at school

  • He lied. The ride is designed to handle this when it happens. It doesnt cause problems and takes about 15 minutes to reset so it can run again. Go tell your friend they lied :-P

  • does it really take 15 min...i thot it was like less than 5...idk.

  • @coochi6 NO OFFENCE! But your friend must be a fucking idiot! Thorpe park wouldn't how you say: Build a coaster which took a year to build, with-it's getting permission from the council to build it at that height which was evaded in a way & spent about £12 Million pounds plus theme costs & lastly taking away a ride which was hard for Thorpe Park to do! Although it has been placed in another section of the park, it would still be them & the construction workers wasting their time on a new ride!

  • @koolkillax Haha, none taken. I didn't believe him either :)

  • @coochi6 sorry if I came across a cheeky when saying the f word but it just bums me why folk make up retarded lies like that!

  • @coochi6 Lol no it's not.. I got off it about 4 hours ago. xD

  • when i was on it it rolled back it was shit scary but worth the wate

  • how get a rollback:

    first book a weightwatchers convention

    get them on it;

    then enjoy it lol...

  • @deathstra8 wouldnt that be to "Avoid" a rollback because weightwatchers is about losing weight not gaining it.

  • Omg!

    How COOL!

  • I fought the law!!!:D

  • Haha the only reason I filmed that was cos I like that song, it just conveniently rolled back during my video XD

  • Omigod I had no idea it did this... I was terrified enough going forwards, thank god it never happened the day I was there!!!

  • Wow, That happened today after I went on it! =)

  • This happened when I went right before we went on it!

    I was terrified after seeing this!

  • Happened to me today 2nd time this month was amazing .... so much better then going over nearlly happened after the test run but i think they sped it up a bit more , still fucking quality.

  • I would be freaked out if I was on a roll back, but I love stealth so I think I'd be okay after realising what was going on.

  • happened when i went yesterday :L

  • Rollbacks are fun... its like riding it 2½ times ;P

  • its if theres too much weight on it, it did it today!

  • i luv this ride

  • i went today, it rolled back AGAIN! whenever i go there is a rollback lol

  • only train 2 will rollback cos i asked to have a rollback but he said we cant on train 1!!! so get fat ppl on the back of train 2 (Y)

  • i really want to go on it with a rollback!!!!

  • its not about that .... its the wind

  • This ride was so freaky! One of my friends was on a rollback, they got another go!

  • lol must of been some fattys on that ride!

  • Its more fun if yu go backwards anyway XD

  • Love it yeh

    Scared of it also lmao

  • if you ask one of the staff overthere when everyone gets on the train it weights you and changes the power of the ride accordingly but every so often the presseure is to low if there is a constant stream of "heavy loads" and eventually it cant handle it, thats y this happens on stealth.

  • yeah. and the force its released by is determined on the last 5 runs.

  • how high is that? and how fast does it go?

    kindaka is better tho. 458 ft high and 128 mph

  • 205 ft.

    0-82mph in just under 2 seconds.

  • Top Thrill Dragster, or Kingda Ka are way more fun to be rideing when there is a roll back

  • went on it today scared the holy shit out of me lmao

  • teehee

    did u like it tho? O.O

  • It happens 3 or 4 times a day. I was too scared to go on it last time, but knowing my luck, it will do it when I pluck up the courage. D:

  • tbh the rollbacks just make me want to go on it it even more!!!

  • sleath is in the uk

    been on it loads of times!

    the quencing isthe scariest bit.

    chavs!

  • WUT CONTRIE IS STEALTH IN USA??? OR WUT

  • england

  • i went to thrope park friday 13th nd everyone was sayin something bad had to happen nd we went on stealth first and wen it rolled back i had never been so scared but that was bcoz i didnt read the sign which said it could roll back but still would have been scary

  • had a rollback today, nearly shat meself... hideous

  • there is a warning sign that this can happen as you queue for the ride - its not dangerous and controlled properly

    fucking scary though

  • scary

  • Nice video! Well done to have captured this rare event!

  • it's not rare when I went I saw it do a rollback with no one on it.

  • i hate rollercosters but iv gotter go on this in a view weeks and im scared i might litalry poo my self

  • it is real coz i was der dat dey

  • "der dat dey"

  • dou dlso der dat day?

  • duh di dont kno foo, qwit jo ass

  • Its obviously real, this is a regular occurance, and notice how the song doesnt start going backwards and traffic lights dont start counting down backwards?!

  • Yeh, i was in the que one day and it rolled back so it is real

  • Yep, because the rollercoasters actually done it 3 times.

  • It does like 3 times a week =P

    Had 27 a few weeks back cos of the snow and stuff.

  • Lol :P i want to go on a rollback :D

  • this is not real, james5644 has shown us the video up until the top of the tower, and then he edited it to go in reverse. NOT! only oking, I know it was real, because people are gaspiing and screaming as the train comes down the launch track and hits the magnetic brakes. Personally, I don't like stealth or any other launch-powered ride, because they are so short and the feeling you get on that launch is horrible. 0-80 mph in 1.9 secs, to me, just sounds horrible. I LOVE ALL OTHER THRILL RIDES!!!

  • i was on the rollback it is soooooooooooooo scary at the top it feels like u are going backwards but i got a free ride woo hoo

  • i swear the ride is free anyway u just pay to get into thorpe park :S

  • Yeah I was on the Rollback Today Aswell!!

  • its funny innit??

  • I've been on stealth when it has rolled back!

  • check out my top thrill dragster video:D 420 ft high and 120+ mph.  thanks!

  • i was on a stealth rollback and it was today actually lool its reaally funny!!!

  • There are 2 trains..

    and once one train has a rollback,

    it takes them about 10mins to get the train that has rolled back to the starting line, and the other train back...

    i was on a rollback, i just laughed

  • lol that must be effin scary

  • lol my panties whent from white to brown on the back bit, and on front bit whent from white to yellow

  • i wood proberly cry if that happeebd,

  • lol y would u cry?

  • erm

    dunno=]

  • lol, when you roll back you dont go back into the station, do youu? no u dont... cos the other train is in the station, so u must get launched in the bit infrnt of station

  • no, theres only one train=]

  • Is there, suppose by the time 1st one gets back to station (if fully gone over) it would have to w8 for while to the one infront to go

  • Lo0l=]

    at least when i went on it, it didnt rollback

    i proberly would of recked my panties=]

  • when it rolls back it waits a while then takes off again....its a norm they say

  • no, there is two trains

  • no there are 3 trains. 2 in normal "peak" use and sometimes on days with not many people they use 1 train !!

  • by days with not many people, do you mean ALL the time? Last year they were running 1 train ON FRIGHT NIGHTS - the busiest time of the year for Thorpe Park. :P

  • no, they move the other train back to the exit point and the rollback train is moved back into the station where the catch car can safely re-attach itself to the train

  • How often exactly does this ride do this?

  • omg people who are saying that its a rubish ride is stupid i bet u havent been on i have to say stealth is amzing i have been on it so ha

  • It roles back nearly every day i live right near there and can see it from my bedroom window, so yeah,, it does it about 2/3 times aday, but imagine how many times it must run in a day. You cant expect it to work everytime!

  • how does that dinky thing roll back lol its not even that big they need to fully load the trains or increase the speed on the LIMS by a few mph

  • It doesnt use LIMs. Its hydrolic's which pulls a catch car at 79mph in 1.9 secs.

  • wen was the last tym it did this?

  • About four hours ago!

  • omg ive been there wen dat happens. me n my mate where in the line 4 it n we watched it go n then it stopped at the top n rolled back. i woz lyk SHIT. it looked so se-real i fawt it werent gonna stop n crash into us but it did, luckily. lol

  • the person in the control box cant make it rollback! its because if the track is wet or light capacity!

  • Actually, we can, we have to in fact on some mornings when it is cold, we have to launch it with a reduced power to test the break fins and magnets on it.

  • no one makes it do that lol, sometimes it just does, they dont have much control once its moving to make it do that, it mainly does if its windy or wet apprently

  • WOAH! That must be scary - It's scary enough when it doesn't roll back!

  • but wat if it was a family of fat people? a reuinion? thats like 20 fat guys.

  • for goodness sake, i wish people would stop saying stuff that they knew nothing about, yea if it was too heavy it wouldnt but thats like people who are 260lbs in each car, and there is a limit of 220lbs in each seat, if its too light or cold it might rollback, but thats the only way unless for some reason there is a jerk in the control box who decides to make a rollback

  • Haha, Theres nothing you can do to that train after its off the catch until its back in the brake run

  • lol to many fattys on the bakck of it

  • I hate to tell this to you but the biggest person that could probably fit onto that coaster would probably we
