[edit] Whats wrong with it now?

Some note should be made on the article about its constant closure. It has been closed for months now as the brake fins were damaged. They went up to early & thus broke as the train speeded over them. This is much less servere that kingda kas incident but i think it should still be noted. Lenny 08:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

This makes no sense, how can the brake fins break if the train moves over them? They are there to stop the train incase of a rollback anyway! Where did you find this source, as also I have worked with launch coasters and highly visable sensors send messages to the PLC confirmimg the train has passed over that certain break fin, thus it pops back up. Also, they all pop up when when the ride is emergency stopped. This is nonsense. Speed2006 17:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cost

Went to a Thorpe Park business day and we spoke to an education lecturer. He said that Stealth cost around £12.5 million.

always closed!

[edit] Dj booth == cedar point innovation

this first appeared in the Magnum XL 200 queue area and has been always featured in their Headline Ride (millenium force now-a-day)

[edit] recent probs

I work at TP, and this is nonsense:

The nature of the problem has meant that Intamin AG has had to get invovled, which means it could be serious for all Rocket Launched Coasters built by Intamin AG.

Stealth is known to automatically send out email reports of it usage and any problems that it notices; somthing that not many coasters do, as it does it without any interation with Thorpe Park managment (it was Intamin AG that contacted Thorpe Park about the most recent issue after a email was sent to them from Stealth's ride computer, not the other way round).

...so I have removed it!--GoAround 11:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
