anyway who cares about how long stealth sat there? the point is that the COASTER opened in 2000 and that's what counts, now they don't need 2 prototypes in 2 years..... well HXLC is no longer really a prototype but only the second of its kind, so in my eyes, still a prototype... anyway WHY DOES PKD ALWAYS GET THE LAME SHORT RIDES? this ride promises to last no longer than, say, 25 to 30 seconds long; volcano is just over 45 seconds long from the first blast to the break run.... gosh we need something spectacular, and the only paramount's park that seems to get the spectacular coasters is PKI
