Stealth is a hydraulically launched steel roller coaster located in the Amity area of Thorpe Park in Surrey, England. Designed and manufactured by Intamin of Switzerland at a cost of £12 million, the Accelerator Coaster opened in 2006. Upon its opening, it was the fastest roller coaster in the United Kingdom, a record later surpassed by Hyperia in 2024.
In 2021, following the closure of Do-Dodonpa, Stealth became the fastest accelerating roller coaster in the world, accelerating from 0 to 80 mph in 1.8 seconds. It is also the third tallest roller coaster in the UK, after Hyperia and The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It reaches a height of 62.5 metres (205 ft) and reaches a top speed of 80 mph (129 km/h). Riders experience a maximum of 4.7 g.
