Thorpe Park

[kingdeacon]

went to thorpe park today, wow have they changed that place from when i last went 6 years ago. there new ride which opened this year called "Stealth" is the best ride i've ever been on in my life, and i have been on lots around the world over the years. it is a Hydraulic Launched coaster which accelerates from 0-80mph in 2.3 seconds! it goes 205ft high and then goes flying down on a twist, oh and the brakes are unreal. went on it 6 times, each being just as good. i think toc should do a trip there? got my ticket off lastminute.com for £14.25

Alton Towers is better.

They've got Rita: Queen of Speed... 0-100 in 2.5secs! PLUS they've got Nemesis, Air, Oblivion, Ripsaw etc... If you go on the right day (like I did on Friday) then it's pretty quiet and the queue's are fine (great with priority passes) plus, I had a 2-for-1 ticket from an Oasis bottle... £14.75 each that worked out to! Bargain!

0 to 100 kph in 2.5 seconds is the speed of rita, which = 62.5mph in 2.5 secs which is a long way off 80mph in 2.3 seconds which is 128.74kph in 2.3 seconds!!! much faster, plus it goes up and down this

its the fastest in europe

A hydraulic launch rockets riders horizontally from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, then vertically 90 degrees into a quarter turn. Riders crest the coaster's tower an exhilarating 458 feet from the ground (45 stories), then plunge vertically into a 270-degree (three-quarter) spiral.
