By Aaron

Nov. 30th, 2004 -- Though it still goes by the code name of "Stealth", Thorpe Park has released a variety of details about the new Intamin rocket coaster that will be arriving at the amusement park in 2006.

The new roller coaster will have a Daytona racing theme and will rise about 213 feet above the park. It will feature a vertical hill with a 90-degree ascent and decent, as well as an airtime hill about 82 feet tall.

The racing theme will be enhanced by a queue themed to a grandstand, advertisements of actual companies such as those found at racetracks, and an operator building behind a wall painted like a checkered flag.
