Stealth is, and always was, 1.9 seconds. However, it is nowere near the fastest accelerating accelerator.

They tried, Stealth and Rita were supposed to be the same ride but the council didn't like it.

They go in my jacket pocket which is zipped and that gets left either in the station cages or with the bag lady.

I like them both so I will put them both to the test. Stealth has height, speed and power. Its also faster than advertised in one way. It may haul you to 80mph in 1.9 seconds but at the bottom of the descent, you hit 88. Rita has an interesting layout, an even more powerful launch than...

Oh no, not another pile of crap, L&T coastes are absolutely shiite, they are nothing but trouble.

Simpsons, I repeat, Simpsons. Can't get enough of em. I never quite got my head around Futurama

^ Thats why I prefer Rita to Stealth. The sudden jerks make it more interesting.

Without seeing a info on the control program then I can't tell you for definate but it would be reasonable to assume it does.

Just to clear one thing up, all these advertised acceleration times are actually the time the train spends on the straight aprt of the track. What they don't say is that the catch has to stop and it can't just stop like it hits a brick wall. Ritas launch track is about 50m long. The catch...

Having said all that, TTD is not what it is advertised to be. Using a video and a stopwatch. I worked it out that the drive powers the train for abour 2.5 seconds.

I answered it actually. It will launch like that every time because that is one of the advantages of hydraulics. Very precise control. Add to that the fact that not a lot can stand in their way and win.

The god things about hydraulics, is that they will do exactly what you tell them. What you see on that screen is exactly what the drive will do.

Well............yes. Thats the general idea behind it. Even that is wrong. It does 0-100 in 0.8 seconds.

Well after riding Stealth, I can now vote, finally. After little thought, I've decided that Rita is better. I found that Stealth has a better launch, is faster and is obviously a lot taller. Rita actually does something other than up and down. It keeps up one hell of a pace around the...

That was more than 7 years ago.

Not that kind of trail im afraid. It's more like sparks but it's still spectacular to watch.

Well when you get in a car, you are sat on the negative side of all the electrics. Seeing as the negative of the battery is wired to the body or something that is connected to it.

I suppose it will be interesting to watch, the first coaster to leave a blazing plasma trail behind it.

Sort of. A railgun passes a high voltage current through the object being launched, giving a tremendous speed burst. Ordinary LIM's have to rely on inducing the current in the object so it can be launched which limits the power somewhat.

Well going off what I heard last year, B&M are working on thier own version of LIM systems, nicknamed "Railgun" because it usues and extra component and work like a railgun. Nothing has cropped up since so they are either not odin it or are keeping it very quiet.
