Stealth is an Intamin Accelerator Coaster and is able to reach speeds of 80mph in 1.8 seconds. When the ride originally opened, it took 2.3 seconds to reach top speed, however in 2007 Stealth went through an upgrade and now holds it's current time of 1.8 seconds. The ride is 205 ft high and features a top hat incline as well a bunny hop.
If the ride is unable to make the full journey up the incline, then the car will safely roll back into position and launch again. This is said to be a common occurrence and riders should not be panicked if this happens.

Although a quick ride, this doesn't detract from the thrill, acceleration and G force you experience from this ride. We thought it felt a bit faster than last time we rode and I see that there has been a speed increase and the ride now goes from 0-80mph in 1.8 seconds! Ride in the rain and and it feels like you are having an acupuncture session on your face. All good and very fast fun!
