Stealth is modeled after the drag racing culture of the 1950s, complete with original music and station aesthetics.
The ride's launch system uses high-pressure nitrogen to fire the train out of the station.
It was the first 'rocket coaster' of its kind to be built in the United Kingdom.
The top hat structure is visible from miles away due to its 205-foot height.
The ride requires a minimum height of 1.4 meters for all passengers.
Stealth is a hydraulic launch roller coaster located at Thorpe Park, reaching a peak height of 205 feet. It accelerates riders from 0 to 80 mph in approximately 1.8 seconds using a cable-launch system. The ride layout features a top hat element that provides a moment of weightlessness at the apex. It is themed around a 1950s power-accelerated hot rod aesthetic. The track length spans 1,310 feet, completed in a short, intense cycle. Riders are subjected to forces of up to 4.5g during the launch and ascent. It remains one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the United Kingdom. The ride occupies a prominent position in the Amity area of the park.
The footpath near the Tidal Wave entrance provides an unobstructed view of the ride's 205-foot vertical climb.
Head to the ride immediately upon park opening to minimize wait times.
Secure all loose items in lockers, as the high-speed launch prevents riders from holding onto objects.
Ride in the back row for a more intense pull during the launch acceleration.
Avoid riding directly after consuming a large meal, as the 0-80 mph acceleration is physically jarring.
Closed during the winter season; operates daily during the main park season with occasional mid-week closures in late autumn.
Secure all loose items in lockers, including glasses and headwear; follow all staff safety instructions regarding the restraint system.
