Stealth Now Under Construction

Stealth is the best name. No offense to you, but Scream and Dragon2000 aren't very good names imo.

Erm, Dragon2000 is Dragon2000s name, not what the coaster might be called. Or have i just missed something???? Thanks for the update man.

Anyway this acceleration is alot better. YAY. Im even more excited now.

me 2! Looks crazy cool!

They must have put up those signs very recently. They wasn't there when I visited the park at friday. Anyways it seems cool. I guess the launch will be great. And this is a very nice addition to the park.

Hey. I am just back from My Vacation In florida for 3 weeks. So sorry if i ask something that has already been asked. When is this coaster supposed to open? How long is it going to take to build?

Its supposed to open at the beginning of the 2006 season i think. I cant wait to ride this. I might just have to make my way up for opening day. But then again it will be very busy so i might not.

make your way up to Thorpe Park? ...... From Lincoln? So you're going to go the opposite way around the world are you then? The scenic route, past the arctic then down to the antarctic and back up to Slough, nice idea [;)] I think I'll just go down there isntead [;)]

That's better... Launch from 0-74 mph in 2.5 seconds to 205 feet.

Hahaha, thanks for that Gouldy. You know what i mean. Okay i will have to make my way down to Thorpe park, i didnt mean literally. LOL. If i was i would say make my way south to thorpe park, not down!!!

Anyway Gouldy, dont you like that route? Its a bit chilly but you get to see some nice places on the way. The car got a bit wrecked last time though. I didnt know there would be so much water that way. [V]

Thanks for all the updates dragon2000 [:D]

Yeah. I am really looking forward to seeing what this new coaster will end up like.
Do you think Rita has started something in the UK? Do you think there will be anyother laucnh coasters by Intamin in the future? I dont think that the rumors about the new coaster at Blackpool will come true. I think that it is abit adventurous from Blackpool. Well, I supposed it did has one of the first hyper coasters, right?

Either the second or third. Deppending on whether or not you consider the Steel Phantom/Phantom's Revenge a hyper coaster.

Steel Phantom was and is a Hyper coaster, the definition being any coaster that stands higher than 200 feet or higher or has a drop of 200 feet or more is a hyper, Magnum XL200 was first, Steel Phantom was second , Desperado and Big One opened the same year.

We already know the basics of the ride, but I would like to know the track length, total trains, CPT, Number of stations

There Will Be 2 Trains.

i like the round footers, if they are footers, that is...

btw, what're the colors gonna be?

The track will be blue fading to white as it gets nearer the sky, helping it to blend in.

Check out the plans here:

Thanks for all the updates. [:D] Looks as if steel work may start quite soon. Why did thorpe start building this thing so early?????

[hyyyper]

easy: they didn't want the testing delay KK got

0-80 in 2.5 seconds is nice. Hopefully the brakes will not start on the bunny hop, that way, you will receive some actually air time on it.

New construction pictures uploaded to the site below:

Notice how the ride really does share many similarities to Rita, e.g. Launch Lights, Station setup...

even if it did start on the bunny hop, you'd still get air time on it, kingda ka gets lots of floater air on its hill, even though it has breaks, and even with out it, I'm sure it'd be the same.

...Lookin' forward to this now, really looking forward to this.

They better do what they say they are planing on doign with the themeing, or i'm going to personally slaughter the heads at Tussauds.

Last time i was at Thorpe, which was a couple of weeks ago at most, there really didn't look like there was enough room for this coaster on the construction site. Now seeing it pull togetehr through photographs is quite amazing.

I'll be at the Park on Thursday 4th and again on the 8th for a nosey inspection of the area. They really are getting on with this quickly!

Eeee!

Why did thorpe start building this thing so early?????

Because they are finally learning form their mistakes and others.

...I recon we'll be seeing some track arive late August erly September.
