\nSlammer was 1 of just 2 S&S Sky Swats ever built, opening along with Rush in 2005<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
In 2006, Colossus and Nemesis Inferno bowed down to their new big brother, the mighty Stealth. The Intamin-built hydraulic launched coaster themed to a 50\u2019s speedway in little ol\u2019 Amity Cove saw Thorpe Park break their 100ft mainland height restriction as the \u2018top hat\u2019 element took riders further skyward than ever before. Standing at a monumental 205ft, Stealth is one very imposing structure that can be seen from all around the park. Only the brave tackle the ride, which launches its riders from 0 \u2013 80mph in 1.8 seconds. The only way you\u2019ll ever feel the same acceleration is if you\u2019re a pilot in a jet being launched of an aircraft carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n
Once seated and fastened in, the train rolls into position. Riders in the two front seats can see the heat coming from the launch-dog as it rolls under the train, locking into place. All eyes are on the red light in front. A brief look up at the 205ft soaring ascent, and the sound of revving engines before the second, third, fourth and fifth red light appear. Then green. And in under two seconds you\u2019re racing along the world-famous Amity Speedway before climbing the top hat. You\u2019ll have seconds to savour the view of the park as you crest the enormous ride and plummet back down to earth, pulling up into an airtime hill before the gentle whirr of the breaks brings you to a smooth stop.<\/span><\/p>\n
