Rita • Alton Towers

Launch Too short Discomfort Layout

Not going to lie, until I rode coasters like Taron, Helix, Red Force, Icon etc, I enjoyed Rita. Now I just find it so dull. Yes the launch is a fantastic launch, but that really is all there is to it. When you can ride rides like Taron, that do the launch well, plus lots of other great elements, or Red Force which has an ok launch, great top speed, some serious height and a brilliant drop, I’m afraid Rita no longer stands up well.

Launch Harness Discomfort Layout

After riding red force and Furius Baco, this ride feels like a rough, boring family coaster which has a bad layout.

Airtimes Launch Smoothness Harness

Great ride. I like it not too long. It really doesn’t lose pace in annoying places like icon. I would like it if o have a lap bar though

Launch Disappointing! Dead spots Layout

The launch is great, could have done a lot better with the layout if they just tightened everything up for a more forceful ride.

Launch Harness

OK launch, and forget the rest - does essentially nothing with all that speed. I doubt Rita will outlive any of the other Intamin Accelerators, the site it's on is one of the few locations in the towers where development is permissible above the treeline.

Launch Too short Theming

Excellent launch, and there is some airtime to be had. However the layout isn't exciting and too short. Rita does not fit in at all with Thirteen and the surrounding area.

Nice surprise! Pace Fun

Nice surprise for me have been told it's rough
