What it’s like
A hydraulic launch coaster that hits 80mph in under two seconds, plus access to the rest of the park's rides.
This is one ride, but what a ride. Stealth fires you from a standing start to 80mph in 1.8 seconds, then straight up to 62.5 metres before you've had time to think about it. It's the sort of thing you build a visit around rather than one attraction among many, and it's genuinely not for the faint hearted, there's a torso restriction of 51 inches and it's not suitable if you've got a pacemaker, given the strong magnetic fields involved.
A day ticket gets you into more than 25 rides and attractions across the park, not just Stealth, so there's plenty either side of it to fill a full day. Guests under 1.2m get in free, which is a nice touch if you've got a mixed height group, though realistically this is a venue for teenagers and adults rather than younger children given the minimum age of 13.
Tickets start at £32 online, and buying at the gate can cost you up to £33 more per person, which is a proper sting if you turn up without booking. There's also a Fright Nights version of the day ticket at £39, and a separate £71 ticket if you want entry plus the scare mazes during that event. If you fancy making a proper trip of it, an overnight stay with two days of park entry comes in at £77 per person, based on four sharing.
Booking ahead matters here, both for the price and because popular dates sell out. Opening hours shift through the season, generally running 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays and a bit earlier on weekdays.
