It is deffinatly the best roller coaster I have ever been on. It's a tiny-bit bumpy during the "barrel-roll". But It is worth and hour wait. And It is a winner. I suggest everybody ride it if you get the chance. It is a wonderful addition to PGA.

Hey Johnny,

Question for you:

Why is STEALTH low capacity? Is there only one train that runs the circuit?

Surely there must be at least two!

And how many people per train?

Any info is appreciated,

Roxy

Yes, Stealth does run two trains, the trains are 4 across, 24 total I believe. The loading process could be a nightmare is suppose(because of Vekoma's revolutionary restraint system),but I didn't see much of that during my time at the park. The rides ops were doing a pretty good job keeping things moving. However, most people were at Stealth, leaving the other coasters as walk-ons mostly, therefore the lines were still pretty long!

I think you're right here - the ride ops have done a good job. They will need to keep up a blistering pace, though, to keep that ride moving along, and it wil be tough on those hot summer days, considering that the loading platform is in broad sunlight.

Yeah! :-)

Get those season passes and get in early for some ERT!
