About Stealth
Stealth at Thorpe Park is a launched coaster that opened in 2006, accelerating from 0 to 80 mph in under two seconds before launching the train up a 205-foot top hat tower. The whole ride lasts about 20 seconds from launch to station - it is purely about that initial punch and the airtime over the top. Manufacturer is Intamin AG.
Stealth's hourly throughput is good for its short length, so queues build but also clear quickly. On the busiest days waits can hit 60-90 minutes, but mid-week visits often see it under 25 minutes. The sensation in the front row is significantly stronger than the back row - worth the extra wait if you can choose.
Stealth has averaged about 24 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 10am and quietest around 4pm. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 65% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Tuesdays and busiest on Fridays.
