I just can't help and think that:
a) I went faster in my car when going to Thorpe, which is a Toyota Previer!
b) Kingda Ka is double the height of the ride and almost double as fast as Stealth.
See this is silly, I think Stealths a much better ride if you take it for what it is and not what it could of been.
Theres no point saying, oh KK is bigger and better, my car can go 100MPH this can only go 80MPH. Thats just stupid.
Your car may be able to go faster than 80MPH, but no where near the acceleration rate, plus you will not be going from standing still to 80 you will have a windscreen in front of you and unless you have a flying car I doubt you will be going vertically up 200ft.
Thinking about KK while riding Stealth is going to make the ride seem crap. I don't go on Oblivion thinking of Sheikra, go on DF or Spinball thinking about Tarantula, the list goes on.......
So my views on Stealth, go on it with an open mind taking it for what it is and you will love it. I found it breathtaking and is my favourite ride in TP by a mile.
