20 Greatest Roller Coasters In England

3. Stealth - Thorpe Park

Opened: 2006

Manufacturer: Intamin

Type: Accelerator Coaster

The second-tallest roller coaster in the UK and the fastest overall, Stealth is an absolutely iconic ride that dominates the Thorpe Park skyline. It's basically a half-sized clone of Kingda Ka, the world's tallest and second-fastest coaster which is located in New Jersey, but while Stealth isn't as tall or fast as some other similar coasters it is still a completely brilliant ride.

Essentially 30 seconds of pure, blissful adrenaline, Stealth's amazing launch and fabulous ride experience never diminishes no matter how many times you ride it and as soon as you get off you'll want to ride it again. It really doesn't get much more thrilling, enjoyable or much better than Stealth.
