Mark9 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 You can't say it won't fit in next to Thirteen without baring in mind the reactions there would have been if the Ugland theme had been kept. I doubt you'd rather them have kept Ritas old theme, and at least blended it well.Well I can because I personally don't see it. We could argue whether it matters what Rita looks like when all the focus will be on the new ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry Williams Report post Posted March 8, 2010 I really loved it. Great launch. I just wish I could get up the courage to go on Stealth lol. I have this issue with launches. I'm ok going on almost any ride, but if it launches much faster than 60mph I chicken out.Oh well lol. Rita is a fantastic ride. Gave me a really good headrush. It also pulls some decent G's, so it's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James6 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 I am really fond of all the new logo's like for Dark Forest as well. But Rita's is especially awesome, I hope they make a good effort with the re-theme, from what I've seen they have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benin Report post Posted March 13, 2010 Will it improve the ride itself though... Unfortunately I doubt it since Intamin restraints of the nature don't exactly enjoy corners... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TP Daniel Report post Posted March 13, 2010 I really like the new logo, it really shows how what once used to be a vibrant race track has slowly fizzled out to become an old decrepit area. I think it is rusted just they perfect amount, it shows that there is a legacy of Rita. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themeparkmad Report post Posted March 14, 2010 The new logo for Rita: Queen of Speed certainly works well, imo, for the new area! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyT Report post Posted March 14, 2010 I love the little screws that kind of give it an industrial feel, supporting the 'distressed' look of the ride. I must stop with these little observations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todge Report post Posted March 20, 2010 I was hoping towersnerd would get a few photo's of the new rita trains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James6 Report post Posted March 20, 2010 Poor pic but there we go. Much MUCH improved Better ride audio when you launch as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James6 Report post Posted March 20, 2010 No :rolleyes:It's just more suited to the ride/ area than it was before in UG Land.You also get some nice new views of the ride than before, I still hate how it halves the area, it's location is terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todge Report post Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks for the photo James, can't wait to hear the launch audio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benin Report post Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks for the photo James, can't wait to hear the launch audio Trust me, you don't want to... It's awful the new voice...It's been slightly improved in order to fit into the area to a degree now... BUT it's still a poor ride in a poor location...

Todge Report post Posted March 22, 2010 credit to the nerd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James6 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Definitely a vast improvement :)Now all we need is for the OTSR to be replaced with the Lap Bar's on Xcelerator and we're good , oh and for the whole ride to be moved... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whiteknuckle Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Where would they move it though?I think they have improved it with th Dark forest theme though. And I agree with the lap bars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weeby-vuit Report post Posted June 1, 2010 I'm liking the new theming on Rita, espically the newly painted Cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James6 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 I agree, it's definitely an improvement, however in my opinion it's still an average ride in a diabolical location with an absolutely terrible queue.http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs342.ash1/29253_10150220269890417_546350416_14034099_3216481_n.jpgQuite a good picture of the new look ^^ And the new ORP case etc, I can't find a picture but it looks good and just has the new logo on.

Ricky Report post Posted November 26, 2010 Is this picture below a failed launch or a rollback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Report post Posted November 26, 2010 How would we know lol, Mind you ive never seen a failed launch that far out of the station so maybe a rollback.. but then still could be a failed launch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fred Report post Posted November 26, 2010 Or deliberately put there for some reason. Wouldn't be a rollback, doubt it'd be a failed launch. Doubt it'd also be an estop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
