Line 82:
As with many [[Intamin]] Launch Coasters, Stealth experiences occasional [[Rollback (roller coaster)|rollbacks]], which occur when a train is unable to complete the course, specifically failing to make it over the top hat element as a result of energy loss. Occurrences are rare, and there is a braking system in place on the launch side of the track to safely bring the roller coaster back to a complete stop. However, rollbacks are safe, and all staff/engineers are trained to safely evacuate guests off the train.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlHDDzfP4_4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/tlHDDzfP4_4 |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=Stealth rollback (Thorpe park) |work=YouTube.com |date=2006-04-10 |access-date=2013-01-30}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
