I have fallen victim to riding a rollercoaster that many times I\u2019m now bored to death of it. So potentially the answer is yes but let\u2019s have a chat!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Stealth:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Last year we visited Thorpe Park during an absolutely dead day. So we decided to challenge ourselves to see how many rides we could get on Stealth. Our grand total ended up being 14 with 13 of which all in a row. It\u2019s safe to say I am now bored to death of this rollercoaster. But I reckon it\u2019s only due to its extremely simple layout. As we managed to ride Icon 22 times during press day and didn\u2019t feel all that bored of it just extremely sick!<\/span><\/p>\n

Layout \/ Duration:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I feel the layout & ride duration really does have an impact. For example the likes of Wickerman wouldn\u2019t necessarily get boring in our opinion. Whereas Stealth you literally just go up over & down. That\u2019s actually it. Therefore 13 consecutive rides were always bound to become painfully boring right? I think the duration is a big factor in this too. If the ride is simple and legit 1 minute long it\u2019ll always become quite boring as you\u2019ll get so used to. <\/span><\/p>\n

Final Answer:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m torn as I feel if you love a coaster so much then why not re-ride it as much as possible. Overtime we\u2019re all bound to clock up an horrendous amount of rides on these coasters anyway. But I think it\u2019ll take me a while to get back on the Stealth love train I once was on. As the thought of it just doesn\u2019t appeal to me at the moment still. Even so I do still reckon it\u2019s one of the best coasters at Thorpe Park. I think it depends on the level of love you feel, duration, complexity of elements & layout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me know your thoughts!\"\" <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
