It is the white coaster on the left. This site has great pictures also.

That white coaster:

 

Looks like Stealth from Thorpe Park (UK) to me

 

(it even says so in the file name description (titelstealth.jpg))

Yep. It's Stealth from Thorpe Park. An Intamin launch coaster similar (if not a clone) to Knotts' Xcelerator. Even has the same 57 Chevy looking cars.

Do you even know what Stealth looks like?

Stealth is more like a miniature version of Kingda Ka.

Xcelerator looks nothing like it:

You tell them Elissa!

She always knows the right time to step in and regulate!!!!

Is it just me, or does Stealth's top hat lean slightly to the right in the linked photo?

^That's just the effect of the camera angle/photo editing.

 

It's definetly not the Leaning Tower of Intamin!

Thank you Sharky! In fact, I haven't been to Thorpe park and I am not familiar with the layout of Stealth. Hence the word SIMILAR when comparing it to Xcelerator. Maybe I was ahead of myself for suggesting that it could possibly be a clone.

[Shockwave]

^Funny you should mention that, because at one time Stealth could have very well been an Xcelerator clone!

 

One of the plans for the park's future develoment circa 2003/4 included a "landmark" coaster with exactly the same layout as Xcelerator. Seems as though the design was changed further down the line to what we have now.

You know, I would've liked an Xcelerator clone at Thorpe rather than the mini-KK that's there now. At least Xcelerator isn't over in 5 seconds...
