I was looking at pgam's coasters and saw that Stealth was removed in 2003 so it only operated for 3 years. I guess it was for a waterpark, but that ride was like brand new. Is there any other reason why it was taken down? I just dont understand it. Also there Whizzer has been gone since 1988.

"Stealth" was moved to another park, so its still alive.

Their Whizzer had an accident and Stealth was removed for Boomerang Bay waterpark. Stealth is now at Carowinds and Whizzer was scrapped.

O ok. I thought they totally got rid of stealth. That just wouldnt make sense.

Does anyone know if there was a particular reason for choosing Stealth over another coaster/ride?

^ Yeah placement had a part in it. But it also had to do with the park was fed up with it because it was a maintenance nightmare and it had low capacity usually only running one train.
