i won 50 quid when i worked there because we used to bet whether it would make it or not, its a safe ride it has been designed so it can cope with roll backs but every single time there was a roll back every single person onride had a smile on their face! great ride!
lucky 13 It seems to make it obvious when it's going to rollbaxk. It slows down as if it's telling riders oops can't quite make it over then stops a few seconds like it's saying we are rolling back so hold on then it goes back.
I thought it is was an Infinity Coaster with roll back facilities as a safety measure but apparently The Smiler was the first of it's kind and there is one in America called The Monster
A rollback or near rollback doesnt mean the rollercoaster is broken it just means that if the wind is different or the enviroment changes it doesnt make it over the hill and rollsback to the station just incase anyone thought it was broken
Ewzo xD It's also when it gets too cold the oil starts to ice up thus making the wheels spin less, if you look on colossus or nemesis inferno you will see heaters in the station pointing at the wheels.
EliteGaming So you are another who loves telling lies. Ok then where are the riders t shirts in this video saying they survived a stealth rollback? No t shirt=telling lies.
I'd quite like to experience a rollback. I've never experienced one, even though it doesn't seem like a big deal because the ride launches again and gets it right the second time.
Love this ride, never seen a rollback although we were in the queue when the guys released the cars while one of the metal plates on the track wasn't down and smashed it into the field opposite.
I live in Surrey so every time I g to Thorpe Park I go on this ride and I’ve been thought about 3 colossus breakdown a saw breakdown and 1 of stealth’s breakdown
I was on the back row today and it got very close to rolling back. Felt horrible being 200 feet in the air pointing upwards not knowing which direction you're gonna go!!
Top theill and kingda ka are the top ones for rollbacks, they say it happens at the slightest weather changes such as wind speed or maybe even the start of rain! These are common, they arnt a saying of "breaking down" or malfunctioning! Actual strata coasters are even able to stall such as Top theill dragster it has stalled at the way top (Not able to make it over and isn't able to roll back so it gets stuck in between) almost 5 times now! But rollbacks are common!
I love stealth I went on it when I was eight and the man In front cried and I laughed so hard and i remember going on every ride twice and I ate marshmallow and chocolate before stealth
Yes it uses magnets to, but not to launch the train. The train is launched by indeed a pressured gas launch, the pressure is all released at once and the catch car takes the train to the end of the launch and it accelerates it enough to clear the tophat. The magnets are actually being used for a rollback. Before the train launches, they drop into the track so they don't affect the launch. Right after the train has come over they pop up again so they will brake down the train if it rolls back.
haha reminds me of when i went on it and was on a rollback, felt really funny but its all good. infact i found it better then actually going over properly and finishing the run, its kind of to simple for me as a ride i prefer twists and that but none the less i enjoy going on it still a decent ride and a must for people who havent been on it.
I went to Thorpe park at the beginning of this year and stealth is great! If you ever go to Thorpe park, don't chicken out and say no try every ride at Thorpe park! (Just not the tettly teacups)
I've experienced a rollback, it's honestly not that scary, I just crapped myself and screamed for my life thinking I had finished the ride xD I'd rather be on a roll back that experience the whole thing, even though when it re-launched I had to go over the other side of the arch.. But stealth is simply my fav ride (:
The first launch looked slower then normal. The second and third were VERY slow. I could tell by the third launch they were starting to have issues. Then the rollback happened. You can always tell on these types of coasters when a rollback is about to happen if the last few launches were very slow.
The electromagnets are brakes for the roll back and roll backs happen because the computer takes an average from the last 5 so if loads of lite people go on it, it doesn't put enough power in for heavy people afterwards and it rolls back
@ThorpePark01 It's all hydraulically driven, no? Kinda like a super soaker. Pressure builds up in canisters, then when it's time to launch, they inject it down lines into the hydraulic motor which then spins a giant drum which then pulls the cable down the track, no?
I remember going to thorpe park when I was 11 and queued for this ride for about an hour. I went on everything else so I thought I'd be fine. What scared me was the belly feeling u get on drop rides and because of the hight of this ride I was terrified. I also have really bad eyesight and glasses cannot be worn for the ride so I can't see where the coaster is (I've been on rita at alton towers and couldn't see a thing) anyways we get to front of queue and my mum and I panicked and didn't go on. so regret it now and that was a long time ago. my fave ride their is definitely the swarm.
I went this year when Iwas 12 went on everything bought fasttrack and we handed the woman the ticket but she said that we had to queue up in the fasttrack hut to get the other ticket. Wed judt got that one from fasttrack so we had to queue up for 20 minutes to please this miserable bastard. Finally got on and enjoyed it Im pretty sure thorpe park staff are supposed to make you happy... Well this particular lonely bastard certainly didnt
Stealth is acctualy now faster as roll backs started happing about 3-5 times a year - the last one happened in 2014 near September and I SAW IT well from burger king lol
To clear up the arguments, the launch is done by cable, all the breaking is done by electromagnets. LIM coasters use magnets to launch (which Stealth is not).
you are almost right the brake aren't electromagnets they are are normal magnets, that's why they drop down to let the train go past, if they were electromagnet they would just be turned off.
They attach a small cage to the wires that go from bottom to top and go to the top then just push it backwards into the station because it will slow down just as shown in this video
Gymnasticslover 22 no thats not it its when theres alot of wind and when it launches the wind is pushing it back making it lose speed, figure out the rest
Um this ride is still fuctional - I was there yesterday. Don't try to troll people. And rollbacks aren't intentional. Stealth works with pressured gas launches, and it analyses how much power it needs to make the arch. It calibrates accordingly - but if a lot of light people go on it, it will say 'oh i don't need much power to get people over now' but if straight after a bunch of heavy people get on it, it will be used to the light and rollback. Get it right before you say anything stupid.
Wow, I would love it if it rolled back when I was on it, I'd basically get another ride for free.
XxXBEAUTYFULCeceXxX Yeah, I know, but in this case I wouldn't have to queue up again.
It happened to me I found it funny I was like that was a quick ride.
TheDropdeadZed it happened to my brother haha
A roll back on red force is fantastic. I've had a rollback 2 times on it in a week
It had a roll back the day before halloween in 2018, me and my sister thought it was a crash
Physics be like:
'Bro, it's still not too late to back out'
I ate millions of your brothers🤣

They do it on purpose as its part of the ride and it's designed to do it
Actually all rides are designed to allow the cars to roll back, or else they would just be stuck at wherever they stall.
+LukeNAESA10 he never said they make it roll back, he said they design it on purpose so if it does roll back it's safe.
+NoLimitsKingdom thank u lol
If the ride does rollback you get a t-shirt saying 'I survived the rollback at thorp park' and a fast pass for a ride of choice
Danielle Dewitt he’s actually telling the truth, not sure about the fast pass thing though
EliteGaming So you are another who loves telling lies. Ok then where are the riders t shirts in this video saying they survived a stealth rollback? No t shirt=telling lies.
Chubby_Content I did google the t shirt and found nothing.
Chubby_Content Oh so it’s my fault I found nothing about the t shirt is it?
Please grow up
I would shit myself if it started to roll back o-o
1:50 for rollback
Appreciated!
Scary.
Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Thank you
I'd quite like to experience a rollback. I've never experienced one, even though it doesn't seem like a big deal because the ride launches again and gets it right the second time.
I pissed myself enough on that ride even without the roll back
I love how everyone just screams when everyone else gets stuck lmao 😂
I'd be terrified but also having so much fun if I had a rollback. Poor camera guy was one away
I'd love to be on it when this happens
stantz same lol
Same but at the same time I’d be super scared it would be a good story to tell tho
Same
Yes
I was on this!!! Weirdest feeling as it came back down!!!
I blame asda they keep making rollbacks!

I was next as well, really gutted I wasn't on it

Stealth the idea is to keep going forwards not go forwards then decide to roll backwards.
Danielle Dewitt NO SHIT SHERLOCK
Jake Lol Looks like it just didn't quite make it over to me lol.
Danielle Dewitt haha
Gotta love that cringey feeling when you see the people infront of you blast off
This is my fave ride - I'd so pay to experience this!
I went to Thorpe park before corona time and I experienced TWO ROLLBACKS AT ONCE! I got to ride stealth 3 times >:3
Cowberry you are so lucky.
@AH Playz excuse me? U don’t even know me >:( don’t start beef
I managed to get 1 rollback, and a very close to stalling at the top. Love Stealth, still my favourite ride at the park.
+andyknight1 i had a stall onthe top
Alex Brook
No you haven't. A stall has only happened once and the train was empty.

A bit late to this comment but I passed out on the rush lol
The feel of falling backwards will be really cool! I wish I was on that.
11 years ago, crazy
Jared won't stop bragging about how awesome of a ride op he is. :P
Went on this soooooo many times a couple of days ago and this didn't happen once! Gutted 🤣🤣
Bro this was made before I was born omg
Good work!
I would love to be on stealth during a rollback

amazing for this ill subscribe
This was on my birthday

I’m not sure in what year but they increased the power of the launch so instead of going from 0-80mph in 2.3 seconds it is now 1.9
@@Ilikesaucytoes That should make it roll back less. More acceleration means more power to make it over the top hat.
The electromagnets are brakes for the roll back and roll backs happen because the computer takes an average from the last 5 so if loads of lite people go on it, it doesn't put enough power in for heavy people afterwards and it rolls back
i'm going next week and i'm hoping for a rollback! but i'm wondering, do they launch a second time where the is one?
Rebeka Vanaga sometimes they do another launch or give a fast pass depends who the operated is really but rollbacks are fun
i freaking loved this place
I like how the ride op was just chill about the whole thing
Coaster Maniac 2 why wouldn't he be
Yeah
@ThorpePark01 It's all hydraulically driven, no? Kinda like a super soaker. Pressure builds up in canisters, then when it's time to launch, they inject it down lines into the hydraulic motor which then spins a giant drum which then pulls the cable down the track, no?
Glad I know about it before I go on. If this happened and I didn’t know it happened sometimes and was safe then I would have the scare of my life!
it's cool having roll back

I went to thorpe yesterday. I was next to go on the front and stealth broke. They gave us fats passes tho
If you've gone on saw, you can do anything. TRUST ME this ride isn't that scary xx
Is this still safe to go back where the launch is?
Yeah
Jpinner110 as soon as it's launched you can see the brakes are raised to stop it from rolling past the station
Jpinner110 it has brakes on the launches to its safe when it rolls back
Jpinner110 Yes, why would it not be safe.
There was a roll back again today
Question is do they relaunch the coaster after the rollback or are you forced to get off
relaunch it
On Opening Day 2024 There Was A Rollback And They Shut The Ride Down With No Relaunch
Just knowing you were going through that G force again a couple of minutes later.
I'm his 100th subscriber
i loved stealth rollback
Happened exact same date on 2024 💀 (23/03/2024)
I Was There That Day And Saw It!
Yeah that day is when the park opens, so it's to be expected.
At the beginning, where the rollercoaster rushes right past them, THAT COULDVE FLUNG THEM
No it couldn’t idiot.
hahaha I see me :D I was about to get on the front when they decided to shut it :/
Is it possible for it to get stuck at the top? Or has it ever?
No
Man I'd shit myself if I was on a rollback lol
Imagine not knowing that it sometimes happens so you’re rolling back thinking you’re going to smash into the other car and die.
apparently they give u free shirts if u roll back but when i got stuck on swarm for 5 mins at top of chain lift i got nothing. :(
Skip to 1:40
Thank me later.
Thanks
I thanked you 10 years later
Cool!!!!!
Swear to gos I thought I was gonna have a heart attack when i went on stealth haha
Jesus, it never does this anymore sadly
It Does Do It
they should relaunch it if it rolls back like on Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka
Wicker Loki they do
on fright night 2018 there was a rollback, god i wish i was on it lol!
never knew about this 😮
Stealth is acctualy now faster as roll backs started happing about 3-5 times a year - the last one happened in 2014 near September and I SAW IT well from burger king lol
Kian_Deas I can guarantee it happens more then that.
Kian_Deas 3 - 4 times a year it happens 3 - 4 times a day
Ben Murphy uh, no, no it doesn't.
+Ben Murphy No... just no.
For 2018 it rolled back like once
this made me laugh 😂 need to try this is swear
Haha, has it rained before the rollback? Lucky riders!
That sure looks scary.
Shit that looked scary!!!!

@Dazzathfc1882 because its not meant to happen and it was really close to doing it all the other times ?
OMG that must be shit your pants scary i cant handle stealth without the rollback!
I don't think it had enough strength to get to the top! That's silly 😜 -)
1:41 (just so I know where it is lol)
OMFG i would not like to be on a rollback! really scary!
♡
what are the chances of that happening?and also what happens if you get stuck right at the top???
They attach a small cage to the wires that go from bottom to top and go to the top then just push it backwards into the station because it will slow down just as shown in this video
I was terrified of a roll back on stelth but I saw this and realised its not that bad and stios before the station
@Alisonpussycat Scream and yell at Jared (the ride operator for that day) next time for that :p
I went there on Thursday the 21 May 2015
I went on the exact same day 2 years ago
Everytime i get to the top, i shout 'ROLL BACK, PLEASE ROLL BACK!'
I want a roll back :(
Rollbacks look good fun
I'd love it to rollback when I go Monday >.
How was the trip? If you even remember it
Didn't stealth open in the early 2000's and it had its first rollback in 2010?
VenomousRuler272 opened in 2006
Rhys Reene Gaming Geez that's still 4 years with no rollbacks!!
*****
I know. There was nearly a rollback yesterday while I was there, it was really close but I just ignored it and went on Swarm again.
Rhys Reene Gaming Oh cool!! I'm from Georgia so I haven't ridden an accelerator.
*****
They're terrifying. You feel normal sitting in the seat and all of a sudden you literally become the seat. The G-Force is insane.
R.I.P rollbacks on stealth.
Does the rollback happen on purpose?
No it's when the oil turns to ice and the wheels can't make it all the way also when they get to the top the wind can blow them back down
+TheMinecraftGamer456
Thank you
Thanks for answering that I was going to ask the same question lol the amount of times I've been on stealth and that's never happened ... Gutted lol
Gymnasticslover 22 no thats not it its when theres alot of wind and when it launches the wind is pushing it back making it lose speed, figure out the rest
freddyy actually it is mainly the oil changing so that the wheels dont get enough grip and therefore enough roll to move it up.
