Minature Kingda Ka? ("Stealth")

Since I would imagine less than 0.1% of the British population has even heard of Kingda Ka or Top Thrill Dragster let alone ridden them, a 200-foot rocket coaster in the UK will be well received by the general public. A small percentage may have ridden Xcelerator whilst on vacation in California, but that will be about it.

As for the height, Heathrow Airport is not that far from Thorpe Park and this new coaster is already nearly twice as high as anything else in the park so I'm surprised they got planning permission for it.

Having overbanks would make it too much like Rita, so I think the bunny hop is a much better idea, plus I couldn't really care for Xcelerator's overbanks.

Finally, although Stealth is the development name, the same was said for Rita, so it may end up being called Stealth after all.

Here's a new update, stations taking shape.

That cool. I did start a 3D Model of the coaster, I may finish it.

It seems the only people who complain about these Rocket Coasters are coaster ethusiast. The lack of elements and the short lengths hurt the rides, but their excitment level are higher than any other coasters I've ever heard of. The GP has excepted TTD at CP rather well, though the constant downtime scared people.
