After a good few rides on Mandrill Mayhem since it opened, i've come to the conclusion that it's a criminally underrated ride. It's certainly a bit strange, but there's a really diverse range of forces, and some excellent moments which makes this B&M Family Wing coaster a really solid attraction. There's 4 launches in total, the main one having some decent kick to it, as does the final small boost which is particularly good in the backwards row - well, backwards to start with anyway. The scorpion tail in the backwards row is the highlight of the ride, awesome floaty half-upside downness, but I also really enjoy the roll which has lots of hangtime, and the helix is pretty intense as you ascend it. There is a bit of a shake and a bounce to it, which is worse the further forward you sit, and worse on the outside seats, but it's more an annoyance than actually being uncomfortable or painful. Theming is excellent, the landscaping has grown up now so it really resembles a jungle in the area, and the station has loads of fun details. I'm not convinced that it's the right ride for Chessington, the park needs a capacity monster and a 1 train shuttle coaster is not that, but as a family thrill coaster it's really very fun, and I can always appreciate a park and a manufacturer trying something very unique!

If I had 15 seconds left to live, Stealth is how I would choose to spend it. It's my most ridden coaster by a mile, partly because it's so easy to rack up big numbers on, but mostly because that launch never gets old. The pure power is just addictive, and i'm very much addicted to it. You get superb airtime on the top hat too, front or back are both great up there. Front is the best for the launch of course but I love the pull over the top in the back. That's all you get, but I don't mind at all when it's that good, i'll just go again! The restraints aren't the best, I'd love for it to have T-bars, but they've recently refurbed the trains so they are at least brand new, great to see Thorpe Park investing in Stealth when other parks are removing their accelerators. And for a ride approaching 20 years old it still runs very well, it's not completely smooth but I think that adds to the intensity of it. You have to love the theming too, it's so simple but the speedway aesthetic coupled with the amazing WWTP Radio soundtrack gives the entire area such an awesome cheery vibe, a nice changeup for the UK. She even gave me a rollback on opening day 2025, which cemented Stealth's place as one of my all time favourite rides, and one I hope has many more awesome years in her yet

This is my second favorite roller coaster of all time, and it has some super exciting drops. The first drop takes a while to get the coaster to the top, making it more and more scary as you reach a super high height of 230 feet! My first time riding it, it was not as I expected because I'm used to roller coasters with launches, and this one had none, so it would take a long time to reach the top. As it was climbing to the top, you started to regret getting on the ride in the first place because you had so much time to think since it's a high and slow climb. Once you're all the way up, you start dropping, and the first drop is the best one, so enjoy it while it lasts.

OK, so I went opening day and waited 3 hours for it and then got stapled, so if all those things didn't happen I may have enjoyed it more. I did think that it was pretty enjoyable. I liked the launch in to the wing over top hat kind of thing, but overall pretty short.

Alors, après recherche dans les archives vidéos familiales, je l'ai ridé le 10 Août 2005 pour mes 7 ans lors d'une foire en Alsace probablement! Est-ce que c'est le même? Je ne sais pas! En tout cas, il a le même nom et il avait une théma sur la "sucrerie" notamment avec une maison en pain d'épice à la place de la fameuse Pomme! Les rails sont de la mêmes couleurs mais pas la chenille qui a cependant la même tête. Puisque je n'ai aucun souvenir, comme tout Wacky Worm, je met 1⭐ et puis voila x3

It's almost perfect and the immersion is unparalleled for a coaster of this size, but - for me - the layout itself lacks a bit of airtime and is a tad too repetitive with too few iconic moments.
