Don’t think we have to worry about stealth quite yet, the scale of the other mentioned coasters were so much large and were all far more of a maintenance nightmare than stealth has ever been.
Kingda ka went because of not just high maintenance costs, but also because of the merge between six flags and cedar fair as cedar fair have beef with intamin for some reason lol
They got burned a ton of times like for, Dragster, I305, Xcelerator and Shoot the Rapids, but I still think it’s dumb that they hold on to this bias ten years later. And that they retroactively want to kill off all the intamins at parks they haven’t even owned or collaborated on for a full year.
I can see them closing Saw before Stealth if I'm honest. I get Stealth's maintenance cost tho, downtime wise, I'd say Saw is way worse lol (I love Stealth too much)
now that stealth has a worlds most X title merlin will hold onto it for dear life until it loses the record then it might but i could see merlin extending the layout possibly, it would be marketable as a whole new ride jsut like TT2
I can definitely see your points and i would agree but the operations on stealth this year have been beyond incredible at least when i went and i check the app. One train is sent out like every minute or even less its mental tbh. Great video btw!
I think stealth is fine, there's a lot of accelerator coasters out there still doing good. The ones that have had the most issues are the 3 biggest ones and the prototype, the more mid sized ones like stealth and storm runner at hersheypark haven't had issues nearly as bad as the 4 i mentioned.
i dont think stealth could be closing anytime soon, if it does close i want a dueling coaster in its place or a swing lsm launch, stealth does have its downtime along with saw. Also i would not be upset if rita closes
Six Flags Great Adventure Hasn't Said Anything and They Wont Get rid of stealth They Would Go To Intamin For A Magnet Launch/LSM/Linius Synchronus motor

Like the Mario Galaxy music in the background. Let's take the launch star to Coaster Galaxy!
Nothing could replace stealth, sometimes I can't choose between Stealth and Hyperia
I prefer swarm but stealth is my 3rd
Stealth as a LSM Multi-launch? That would literally be Top Thrill 2, but smaller.

Agreed. Saw is an absolute nightmare for downtime!
Here's what I imagine -
STEALTH - REBUILT
(LSM system for the UK's first triple launch coaster)

hopefully its still open in 2025 I havent experienced stealth yet and it looks amazing
Maxx Force can unarguably hold the acceleration record then 💪

I don’t see them closing it, thrope cherish that attraction to bits. So I could see them replacing the hydraulic launch with a snappy LSM one, idk 😅

If Kingda Ka is closing doesn't mean Stealth is going to close as well

It all depends on maintenance costs. I can see them closing Saw or Colossus (most likely the latter) before they begin to think about Stealth.
Won't happen faster accelerator in Europe so gives them a title so they won't get rid
Not a good sign when theme parks start to struggle with the costs of their rides
They definitely won’t get rid of stealth and kingda ka is not closing the park themselves has confirmed this

Honestly good, I hate stealth
Noo
stealth opened in 06 not 05
You are correct. That is my mistake
i cant really see stealth closing this decade tbf like they just repainted the area and station and they got a new train for it recently
