Did the stealth at thorpe park copy top thrill dragster?

While both Stealth at Thorpe Park and Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point are launched Roller Coasters, they have distinct design elements and themes. Stealth, which opened in 2006, features a vertical ascent and a maximum height of 205 feet, while Top Thrill Dragster, which debuted in 2003, reaches heights of 420 feet and incorporates a different type of launch and layout. Thus, while there may be similarities in the ride experience, Stealth did not directly copy Top Thrill Dragster; rather, it was inspired by the success of high-speed coasters.
