April 8, 201312 yr comment_156167 I can't wait to ride it just a shame that europa park only has good coaster not flat rides Europa is simply awesome in every other way that you won't even think of the flat rides.
May 7, 201312 yr comment_158588 Inkeeping with Th13teen or not, this looks absolutely awful... What were they thinking!
May 8, 201312 yr comment_158629 Tragic. Surely this can not be necessary? But if it really is this can not be the best solution.
May 8, 201312 yr comment_158635 The best solution would be to remove the piece of crap in the area, and then there won't be a need for the scaffolding...
May 8, 201312 yr comment_158639 Dear lord... what's this all in aid of? (Sorry for asking!) EDIT: Just scrolled back a page! Safety concerns in case the launch cable snaps.
August 25, 201312 yr comment_166910 I find Rita has an excellent layout, but why is it that it LOOKS smooth, but when you're on it, its basically a big metal DEATH TRAP
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192867 So much love for Rita today... 3 rides, 2 front & 1 back... All amazing, pretty smooth (well as smooth as intamin get lol), and just felt really forceful and kept it's speed through the whole ride which I've never felt before... Hmm!

I must admit it did seem better when I rode it back in August than it ever has been before. Still don't rate it very highly personally as I find it dull unless I'm in the back seats.

Still don't rate it very highly personally as I find it dull unless I'm in the back seats. I've always had a little soft spot for Rita, although it isn't really anything special... It just became amazing today, probably my best ride of the day, although saying that all the rides were running amazingly well (not including breakdowns lol) today in comparison to past visits. So probably my best visit to Alton yet this year
September 24, 201410 yr comment_192909 I never understood how people find it rough. Smooth as inferno to me xD
September 24, 201410 yr comment_192956 I acctually find Rita rougher that Colossus and Saw... I'm not saying rita is smooth... but I honestly don't see how that is possible
September 24, 201410 yr comment_192964 I acctually find Rita rougher that Colossus and Saw... If rita is rougher than Colossus and SAW, then my name is Mr Banana
September 24, 201410 yr comment_192965 I acctually find Rita rougher that Colossus and Saw... I agree with you, I don't find Colossus and Saw but at all. My ride on Rita was awful this year though.
September 24, 201410 yr comment_192968 If rita is rougher than Colossus and SAW, then my name is Mr Banana It's still more painful than Furius Baco tbh...
October 3, 201410 yr comment_193729 I retract my earlier statement. I had the most unbearingly rough ride on Colossus today.
October 4, 201410 yr comment_193790 I retract my earlier statement. I had the most unbearingly rough ride on Colossus today. If you find Colossus really rough, I'd recommend trying front row. It makes such a difference.
October 4, 201410 yr comment_193794 Oh I know, the front few carriages are fine.. On my latest visit I got the back row for the bad train. Absolute hell.
October 15, 201410 yr comment_194863 Nothing I have ever ridden is rougher than Colossus, but SAW is a close second. I mean I LOVE Colossus its one of my favourites and I reaaallyy don't care if rides are rough or smooth so long as they are somewhat intense. But Rita has always seemed fine to me- a little rough in places, yes, but far from horrendous. I like it, its a good launch coaster and while it is by no means my favourite on park (that title goes to Nemmy <3) it is clearly very popular.
October 16, 201410 yr comment_194953 In my experience it's very much a restraint problem, makes it close to unbearable for me. I'm well aware that's because I'm a little chunky, and it's got steadily worse the bigger I've got.

Sorry Ruby - I really don't like Rita, it's the uncomfortable offspring of the beautiful (and much adored by me) Stealth! I tolerate it at Alton Towers but don't enjoy it. You're right though, it's not up there with Colossus in terms of uncomfort!

I tolerate it at Alton Towers but don't enjoy it. You're right though, it's not up there with Colossus in terms of uncomfort! Haha you don't have to appologise xD I agree- stealth is better!! I love stealth so much, ridden it am unholy amount of times this year whereas I've ridden Rita once. After I've ridden Rita it somehow magically tricks me into going 'oh that was good, that was longer than stealth so it must be better...' but then when I get back on stealth it's like 'NO I WAS WRONG I'm SO SORRY I bETRAYED you!!!' xD
