Stealth Downtime - G-Force Junkie - Apr 7, 2006 Ive just literally got back from my second visit to Thorpe this year, and was rather dissapointed.The queues were really bad, and not only that, i queued for Stealth for over an Hour, and it just kept breaking down, i decided to leave it for today.Its had 6-7 days continuous, down-time over the last week, and they still cant get it right.I know that rides break down and that its part and parcel of what theme parks are about, but this is getting stupid.Intamin have not perfected the art of Launch coasters, as is the same with Top thrill dragster and Kingda Ka.I reckon that Bolliger & Mallibard should enter this field, and show these cowboys how to make a reliable and efficient Launch coaster.Now dont get me wrong, this coaster is kin Awesome, and its now the prime reason i go to Thorpe...i just feel letdown.I feel sorry for the peeps who have travelled silly miles just to sit and watch Thorpes flagstone ride, doing nothing.Are there any others who have endured my miserys. RE: Stealth Downtime - Julian141 - Apr 7, 2006 Yeh, Rita - Queen of Speed has the same problem, I think it could be one of those unavoidable things.

Dude that sucks! I quered for the Texas Gaint for 3.5 hours before. And Mr. Freeze for 4 hours. RE: Stealth Downtime - rct3x - Apr 7, 2006 Yup, it was the same for RITA QOS! I remember quing an hour, then it broke down ![]() ![]() I have been on the only B+M launched coaster, what is it ? :P RE: Stealth Downtime - G-Force Junkie - Apr 8, 2006 I didn't know that B&M done launch coasters.....they usually stick to Inverters and Vertical Drop Coasters......what is it, and where.Could you post a Pic link so i can have a butchers. Wouldnt it be great to see them design an Inverted Launch Coaster with an inverted top hat section about 300ft. RE: Stealth Downtime - rct3x - Apr 8, 2006 Yep, that would be cool ![]() B&M have only done one launched coaster, and it isnt one like TTD or KK!
