Well\u2026 you can\u2019t, but Stealth at Thorpe Park is a close second (\u2026maybe third). BUT what we know for sure, is that this iconic ride is packed with thrills and adrenaline-inducing moments and is the <strong>fastest roller coaster in the UK! <\/strong>So, it\u2019s pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Feel the <strong>brake horsepower of TWO Formula 1 cars<\/strong> on a giant acceleration coaster, we definitely think it&#8217;s Thorpe Park\u2019s most <strong>intense ride<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Built with an<strong> impressive hydraulic launch ride system,<\/strong> the steel rollercoaster has a track that spans <strong>62.5m high<\/strong> into the air \u2013 giving you a <strong>panoramic view<\/strong> of the entire Thorpe Park. Interestingly enough, the track is coloured the same as the sky\u2026 so riders can feel like they\u2019re amongst the clouds as they enjoy a sensation of weightlessness.<\/p>\n<p>As you move slowly <strong>205ft into the sky<\/strong>, reaching its peak at the very top, you\u2019ll feel the spectacular <strong>negative G-force<\/strong>. Before suddenly dropping back to earth, but it doesn\u2019t stop there\u2026 As you return to the earth, a feeling of <strong>weightlessness<\/strong> will wash over you, as you reach the final uphill. With a magnetic brake leaving you enough time to collect yourself before <strong>hurtling you back up<\/strong> for one last hurrah.<\/p>\n<p>An incredible ride and experience for <strong>thrillseekers<\/strong>, that will leave your heart racing and have you coming back for more. It may not be for little ones and those who have just started discovering the joys of fast and powerful rollercoasters, but it makes for a fantastic ride for those who<strong> love the adrenaline rush<\/strong>. Whether you begin your day with the incredible drop or end it on a high \u2013 it makes for a funtastic family day out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also the perfect ride for those looking to challenge their inner adrenaline bug &#8211; can you hack it?
