Airtimes Launch Intensity Reliability
Stealth is an awesome ride. It's the textbook definition of "one trick pony", but the one thing that it does do is executed so well that it ranks among my favourite roller coasters of all time. Looking down the launch in the front row brings great anticipation, the launch itself is unreal, the drop off the top hat is SO good in every single row and the airtime hill is a good way to round things off. It's intensely rerideable, what are you doing if you go to Thorpe and only ride Stealth once?

Nice surprise! Launch Intensity Too short Harness
Short but sweet! The launch is more intense than Red Force!

Launch Masterpiece Intensity Too short
There is a lot of great rides at my home park (Thorpe Park) but this is the best one (although Project Exodus in 2024 will be a billion times better)! I still love this ride, it may be short but in that time it has; an amazing launch; an amazing view; and an amazing drop! Very NOICE RIDE!

Airtimes Launch Fun Too short Theming Harness
The launch is best one I've ever experienced which makes up for the short ride. However, if it had a few extra elements like ispeed and miriblandia this ride would be outstanding. The theming also lacks but the size and speed of ride makes up for it.

Airtimes Launch Smoothness Reliability
My favorite at Thorpe Park: It is all about the insanely fast launch, but the top hat is taken quite swiftly and has some great airtime - all while running completely smooth. In these aspects, I prefer Stealth to Red Force, which creeps over the top hat and has a rattle in the back while being more than ten years younger. Additionally, operations on Stealth were one of the best at Thorpe Park - thanks to a baggage drop before the station, a separate loading and unloading platform and two trains, the line moved quickly. Theming is only loosely done, but it still looks okay and I like the train design. The only downside of this ride is the reliability - like the other Intamin hydraulic launch coasters, there is many downtime (it went down two times during our visit), but this ride should not be missed when visiting this park. Three, two, one, GO GO GO!!!

Launch Smoothness Ejectors Theming Harness Discomfort
The lightning quick acceleration on the launch is so intense! Brilliant ejector on the top hat and airtime hill! Amazing view and very smooth but the restraints are very uncomfortable and can staple your legs and hurt your shoulders. Best coaster at Thorpe Park!

Launch Intensity
Stealth has a killer launch and not much else. Its good fun going up that tophat but the star of the ride is really that launch. It gives such a gutpunch when you're launching, and still after a good few rides on it that launch is always a banger. I've given it a 4 stars for what it is, since while its not exactly the longest or most complex layout in the world, that launch is just amazing.

Launch Intensity Too short Discomfort
It's a dead heat between Swarm and Stealth for best coaster at Thorpe Park for me. Stealth is really all about that powerful launch which is a consistent joy. The only issue is I have to always ride at the front as otherwise the OTSRs make mince meat of my shoulders. Smaller riders might have a better time than me!

Nice surprise! Launch Intensity Too short Theming
My 3rd favourite ride at thorpe park! It was very intense with a GREAT acceleration, just wanted a bit more theming than a race car and of-course too short.
-
Location Launch Smoothness Too short
This was my first ever Intamin Accelerator, and I loved it! That launch is just fucking insanity. I only got to ride it once, unfortunately - I went back to ride it again at the end of the day and it almost immediately broke down once I got in line. I would have loved another ride, but as it is I found this super fun, although obviously short.

Launch Intensity Harness
It’s one of my favourite rides, pretty freaking intense when you launch. Just looking up at the huge towering track as you see the traffic lights count down is a completely different experience. I love the blind launches and everything else about this ride. Seriously a great ride and recommend everyone to try it out
-
Launch Intensity Too short
The ride packs a punch with an incredible launch, great positives in the valley, and great airtime cresting both hills. The rapid sucession of all these strong forces creates a breif but entertaining rush.
-
Launch Intensity Too short Theming
Best launch (definitely in the UK, possibly in the world), solid operations (including the occasional blind launch if you're lucky) and a very "pure" (though short) layout make this the top thrill coaster at Thorpe Park in my opinion. The queue times are almost always very reasonable throughout the day, unlike the vastly inferior Colossus. The theming is starting to feel somewhat tired, and also doesn't really match the name "Stealth".

Launch Fun Intensity
Stealth features one truly exhilarating launch that is a gut punch. The ride only lasts 15 seconds but it will leave you speechless. Very fun to marathon if the line is short.
-
Launch Pace Intensity Rattle Too short
My favourite coaster in the UK. Really intense launch and positives, ejector airtime in the front and back rows. Perfect level of intensity, I just wish it was longer.

Best launch in the world

Launch Intensity Ejectors
The airtime on both the top hat and the hill is great, The launch is a gut punch in the best way. However i can't rank a typical accelerator with a top hat and airtime hill 5 stars.
-
Airtimes Launch Pace
Stealth is crack. I wish I could get straight onto it every morning to cheer myself up. Wonderful launch, lovely airtime over the top hat and just pure joy over the hill and back to the station. Better than therapy.

Launch Intensity Too short
Stealth is the best Intamin rollercoaster in the UK with no other Intamin ride in the UK matching the intensity or launch that stealth has. Stealth is the 2nd best rollercoaster at Thorpe park in my opinion and is a must ride if you are at Thorpe park. The main downside of this ride is its duration as it only lasts 29 seconds making it the shortest ride in the UK this works in its favour making the ride short and sweet which complements the intensity of the launch of 0-80 in 2 seconds, however, the shortness of the ride is a downside as after the coaster you leave feeling dissatisfied and wanting more especially because of the abrupt stop on the brake run. A big upside of the coaster is the views of the park you get from the top of the top hat segment, which is one of the most iconic parts of stealth being viewable from anywhere in the park as well as this the brief moment where the coaster slows down at the top giving you some time to take in the view before pulling you back to the ground at high speeds is one of my favourite parts of the ride. In short, this ride is a great ride and definitely a must-ride for anyone at Thorpe park it is the best Intamin coaster in the UK by far and is definitely my 2nd favourite coaster operating at Thorpe park. Thank you for reading and have a good day!

First Drop Launch Masterpiece Too short Theming Layout
The launch is one of my favourite ever parts of any rollercoaster, and it continues to shock me every time I ride it. At the top of the Top-Hat, you get a wonderful view of the park and I really enjoy Stealth every time I'm on it. However, there is no theming whatsoever, and I wish there was at least a bit of a layout after the Top-Hat. Still an incredible ride.

Airtimes Launch Intensity Harness
Stealth is addictive. No matter how many times you ride it. Launching to 80mph in 1.9 seconds - the fastest acceleration Intamin ever did with their hydraulic launch - is such a crazy feeling, particularly on the front row, which is definitely the place to be. You then get big force as you ascend the top hat, airtime off the top (particularly in the back), more positives as you bottom out, then one last big airtime moment on the speed hill brake run. It's over very fast, but there's a lot to take in. All this makes it one of my favourite coasters, and my most ridden coaster. If you're at Thorpe on a quiet day, they open the gate between the offload and onload platforms, so you can just keep going round, which is awesome. The only way to improve it would be to stick the trains from Xcelerator on it, with the T bars, that would make this a real world class ride. As it is, the trains with the big bulky lap bar and hard strap OTSRs do let it down, but not enough to stop Stealth being absolutely awesome

Launch Intensity Smoothness Too short
This is almost a perfect launch coaster - almost. The launch is extremely snappy with great initial acceleration, you get some nice airtime and the sense of speed is very strong as you travel up and down the top hat - but that’s the thing - it’s just a top hat. While I love Stealth the way it is, I’d have loved to have seen some Xcelerator style overbanks after the top hat to make it feel complete. Even with that said, I personally give it a 9.5 out of 10.
-
Launch Ejectors Too short Harness
Not a lot to say about Stelf. Power, power and more power = fun, but not world class. The trains are poor, and don't do a lot with the energy. If you can catch it close to park close you can often get a series of repeat rides in quick succession, which resolves the too-short problem! Oh yes, and it's a lot better than Kingda Ka :-P
-
Launch Fun Intensity
Stealth is a brilliant coaster, with a powerful launch as well as an intense drop. Queue times are always surprisingly short, and the theming- especially the radio station with 60’s songs- fits the ride perfectly. I could ride Stealth over and over again and never get bored of that launch and top hat!
-
Airtimes Launch Too short Theming Harness
Dull ride. Ends way too quickly. Needs lapbars really. Way too empty of an area as well.
-
Airtimes Launch Intensity Too short
Very intense. I feel satisfied every time. I preferred Stealth to Kingda Ka. The launch is punchy, the incline is sharp and forceful, the twists are sharp, the airtime at the tophat is insane at the front and back, the drop is insane and the bunny hop packs strong airtime. Overall, smooth and intense coaster, very comfortable and visually stunning. The theme is perfect and the countdown is class.

Airtimes Launch Fun Too short
Best Coaster at the park. 0-80 in 2.3 seconds! 205feet tall. Awesome coaster. The only bad thing is that is is only 26 seconds but it is a launch coaster, so who cares. Check out are review of STELTH on our YouTube channel.

Airtimes Launch Fun Rattle Too short
Short but very sweet! Stealth is a fantastic ride despite its length, packing a great punch with its height, speed and intense launch. Recently, it has developed a pretty uncomfortable rattle towards the back, so aim for a front row ride for the best experience.
-
Airtimes Launch Intensity
My personal favourite ride at Thorpe Park (at the moment) it’s amazing launch is far better than Red Forces and it’s nice floater airtime on the top hat. There was also a good moment of ejector leading into the brake run. This ride has nothing on red force but it is still a fantastic rollercoaster.
-

Great fun, definitely the strongest launch I've felt and also my favorite launch.
-
Airtimes First Drop Launch Discomfort
Does what it does well. Good powerful launch, height and drop with plenty of airtime over the top especially if you sit at the back. Only real downside is the transition from the launch into the uphill - the forces can be uncomfortable if you're leaning forward.
-
Launch Intensity Too short
0 stars due to placing higher than red force which I cannot understand. When more realistically its a solid 4 and a half
-
Launch Intensity Ejectors Too short
Stealth is an immense coaster. It packs a hell of a punch in its launch, the positive Gs in its valleys, and the negative Gs at the top hat and airtime hill. It's over quickly but what it has is always brilliant fun.
