General Chat / Thorpe Park

Thorpe park are getting a new ride for 2006

I was just wondering if anyone had any further information

And how does it compare to some of America's coasters

Project Stealth looks like it will be adopting a similar, if not exactly the same theme as Rita: Queen of Speed at Alton Towers. Which to me, is pretty boring. The station looks to have a very similar layout to that of Rita with the whole open topness and all.

It's located behind Tidal Wave where model world used to be and I think will be part of Amity Cove though with a different side theme so to speak. Also similar to how rita is a side theme to the rest of Ug Land or "Thunder Rock Valley"

Comparing it to America's coasters of a similar style...well, it just doesn't. It's less that half as tall as Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka, however, for England this is a pretty big (tall) coaster. I believe this is Tussauds first coaster to be this high (200ft) as Alton has the tree height limit and the tallest point of Thorpe is Detonator (I think) at 100ft. It will pretty much drown out the other coasters too which are pretty poor when it comes to height standings, though awesome in other departments (Nemesis Inferno: 95.2ft - Colossus: 98.5ft)

Good pic to indicate this:


Probably the best site for info, plans and pics of stealth:

What the layout look like, going by one of the screens at RCDB.com it looks like a shrinked version of KK.

Yeh it is, but that's England for ya

cant wait. although it seems a little tame compared to the other rockets, it should still kick some arse though.

cmon thorpe!!
