if that's the case why has stealth been aproved because you can see that from the motorway.
Stealth is at Thorpe, which also has hight restrictions. The restrictions are not as bad as Altons, but Stealth is still in breach of them. The limit is about 105-115 foot. They got special permision to build a ride around 100 foot past this, which is why it is painted white on top; to hide it from view.
At Alton Towers, nothing can go above the trees. Everything that may be seen through the tree tops must be painted dark green to hide it. This includes two of Rita's hills and Air's lift hill and first drop.
