Stealth

Stealth distills the accelerator concept to its raw essentials: one ferocious hydraulic launch, one towering top-hat, one clean return. From a dead stop the train hits 80 mph in under two seconds, a wall-of-wind surge that remains one of Europe’s most intense coaster sensations. The crest offers a brief weightless heartbeat before a plunging drop and an additional airtime hop on the run back to the brakes. There are no inversions and no filler; the appeal is the contrast between brutal acceleration and the eerie calm at the top. Presentation leans into drag-racing cues—grandstand theming, starting lights, and engine audio—so the entire area feels like a track meet aimed straight up. Operations are slick, the lap-bar trains are open enough to sell the speed, and the view from the summit on a clear evening is pure postcard. As a portfolio piece for Thorpe Park, Stealth still matters: it’s a compact, iconic spike of adrenaline that pairs perfectly with the longer, twistier experiences elsewhere on the island.
