Stealth is alright in the front but it's pretty awful everywhere else. The launch is okay but the rest of the ride is bollocks. The top hat gives me NO airtime anywhere, the speed hill is one of the most pointless things I've seen on a coaster. It's far too short. the layout is god-damn awful, and with it supposedly a major ride, it's stupid. It doesn't even have turns for crying out loud.
RITA however is awesome, the launch is incredibly intense, whereas the first turn is uncomfortable it makes up with great airtime and forces and a fun ride. I didn't find it rough apart from the first corner and it made me want to go on it again. I think Alton have done much better dumping RITA down in less than a year, and Stealth being dumped down after 3 or 4 years of planning.
So RITA wins.
How exactly is Rita's launch more intense than Stealth. Stealth's is blatently more intense, I have ridden both coasters, so I know. Did you super glue yourself into the seat on Stealth, there is tons of airtime on it.
I have ridden both coasters as well FYI.
Alright, this is my opinion, I found RITA's launch much quicker, it felt smoother, forceful and it had a much better feeling of speed in my opinion.
Stealth's launch may be fast, but it goes along the track like a dick on a cheese grater. It is rattly, it loses all speed the moment after it launches, it is feels far weaker than RITA (and even Rock 'n' Rollercoaster).
At the end of the launch track, both coasters try and kill you, RITA has a vulgar turn, Stealth has a G-Force spike which forces the restraints to staple you. I'd rather not be stapled to be honest. Because of this stapling, Stealth produces NO airtime whatsoever, it can't really either when it crawls over the top hat at such a slow speed.
I would say RITA has a thousand times more airtime than Stealth only, 1000 X 0 = 0.
Whereas lots of people say it has no airtime, why are you arguing with me? If I really was stupid enough to super glue myself to a coaster, I'd make sure that it was a decent one as well.
Oh and lets not bring up the discussion about Stealth and RITA's acceleration rate.
