Captain’s Review

Highlights

  • Powerful hydraulic launch
  • Strong airtime
  • Impressive top hat
  • Short wait times

Concerns

  • Ride too short
  • Uncomfortable restraints

Stealth is celebrated for its jaw‑dropping hydraulic launch that catapults riders from 0 to 80 mph in under two seconds, delivering a visceral punch that many consider the best in the UK. The intense acceleration feeds into a crisp top‑hat with strong airtime and a striking view of the park, making each 15‑second run feel highly rewarding. Because the coaster is so brief, queues are typically short, allowing multiple laps in a day. The primary complaints focus on the ride’s very short layout, which leaves riders wanting more, and the over‑the‑shoulder restraints that can be uncomfortable and a bit rattly. Overall, the launch experience outweighs these drawbacks for the majority of riders.
