No because the ride operators are told to tell you that, because it's not exactly fair on other guests if you use it on another day..

Priority passes do have dates on.
And by 'shortcut' you mean Fast-track.

Stealth had a bit of a problem.. So it will be out of action for a while (Minimum 2 weeks, proberbly a few months though).

Heres what happened (Taken from TowersTimesForum.co.uk):

Stealth experienced a mechanical problem. The ride is currently unavailable. Intamin staff have been contacted and will correct the problem.

There was a technical problem with the launch. The As the train left the station there was a problem and the ride was E-Stopped. However by this point the train was nearing the end of the launch run. The brake fins raised and were hit by a moving part of the ride, which is not the train. The train then left the catch car and continued to make a normal circuit. However it did pass slowly over the top. Due to the E-Stop activation the train could not be moved from off-load to load and thus clear the off-load block. Therefore the train came to stop in waiting, and was evacuated.

The train was not ripped to pieces.

When Intamin staff have arrived there may be further information on how long the fix may take, but until then the park probably won't give any information.
