Anybody have any idea of what the problem is with Stealth? It has been unavailable for quite a while now.

My personal opinion is that it has something to do with the launch but really that is just a wild guess :-k

I was under the impression its launch cable is being replaced?

Still down, staff apparently saying should be open at the weekend. Good news for them though.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone on here has experienced a roll back on stealth? Not experienced it myself just wondered what your opinions are of it?

It's done it so few times I don't know anyone who has!

I did get one on Dragster though which was nuts and quite frankly scary.

Was it the top thrill though? \:D/

I did a roll back maybe 7/8 years ago (not too sure), it was certainly frightening as it happened but the process of waiting in the brake run was so annoying. At least we got to ride it again right away when they let an empty carriage run around.

Probably Merlin's go-to reason:

"Scheduled maintenance"

Don't be ridiculous... it's obviously to add VR! :roll:

With Stealth out of action for last year's Fright Nights, then a couple of weeks ago, it isn't having a good time!

Ha, I don't think so! It's taken them ages to sort out Galactica when it first opened and this season where it hasn't had the VR at all yet. Wouldn't be a bad idea though... maybe for 2018?

The MAP website states the following:
Please note that on 26th July, Stealth will be closing at 5pm and will be closed on 27th July for planned maintenance at THORPE PARK Resort.
I understand this closure will be for the replacement of the launch cable.

Seems about right. It's usually done at this point in the year.
