The other month I shared a reel\/Tik Tok dedicated to Rita and I was stunned & saddened by the sheer amount of hate this coaster gets. When in my opinion it\u2019s not half bad. Therefore, I thought I would sit down and have a little chat about all things that are tremendous about Rita in my opinion. By all means, I do comprehend it\u2019s not everyone\u2019s cup of tea and that\u2019s totally fair but here is why I think Rita is great. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snappy Launch:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I love launch coasters as a whole as much as this isn\u2019t the quickest of the launches we have done, it is still up there as one of the snappiest. It\u2019s certainly hot off the mark. I love that initial launch and just how much quicker it feels to what it is. It\u2019s a feisty coaster.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Intense:\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I genuinely think Rita is one of the most intense coasters we have in the UK. At the end of that launch, as you bank around to the right, it\u2019s the G\u2019s that make your body feel like it\u2019s been pulled down that gets me. Also, the bigger bank turn brings my body near to blacking out without fail every time.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Airtime: <\/span><\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t get pinned into your seat with the restraint tightening around, the airtime is usually immense. I call it violent airtime when your bum slaps off the seat, I love it!\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Thrilling:<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is exhilarating. You take someone who maybe hasn\u2019t done many rollercoasters there\u2019ll come off this pale. It\u2019s amusing even for me after riding almost 150 rollercoasters & I\u2019ll always cherish this ride for that reason.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

All-Round Fun:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rita is a lot of fun to experience. I\u2019m not implying it\u2019s the best rollercoaster in the world because, by all means, it doesn\u2019t cut my top 10. Yet it\u2019s not bleak nor is it an uncomfortable ride experience. It is simply fun and that\u2019s why I adore it so much. If the restraints are sat comfortably even better.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you feel about Rita? I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on whether or not you rate her or perhaps would rather skip it on a day trip to Alton Towers. <\/span><\/p>\n
