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.
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 :)
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
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
@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!
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.
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.
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
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?!
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!!!
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
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
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!
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
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
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
i was on a rollback once it is amazing

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
