Anybody here been on Stealth at Thorpe Park? For those that have no idea what I'm on about - http://www.themeparks-uk.com/thorpe_park_stealth.html. It's the highest roller coaster in Europe.
I'm addicted to it. The new improved Stealth accelerates you from 0 to 80 mph in 1.8 seconds and then hurls you vertical up 205 feet. If you're in the front you get weightless going over the top to then go down vertical for 205 feet. Best thing I've been on in my life. Now that I'm a fourty something I'm having a second chilhdhood all over again. Wish there was something like this when I was younger. Got a Merlin Pass so I can visit as often as I like now.
Booked into Alton Towers Hotel for a couple of nights this summer so shall see how Rita Queen of Speed compares. Garuf, you still driving the monorail?
