Mark9 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Would you like to elaborate? We'd all like to know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Does this mean I wont be able to sing along to Meatloaf while queueing for Rita now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Williams Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob230 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 New Logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP Daniel Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 The new logo for Rita: Queen of Speed certainly works well, imo, for the new area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I was hoping towersnerd would get a few photo's of the new rita trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Poor pic but there we go. Much MUCH improved Better ride audio when you launch as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share 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.

Todge Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks for the photo James, can't wait to hear the launch audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share 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...

James6 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 BUT it's still a poor ride in a poor location...AgreedMerlin have made the best of a bad situation though. :rolleyes:Rita's location in the area is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 credit to the nerd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share 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...

Whiteknuckle Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob230 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Does anyone have a picture of the new Rita ORP cover and picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeby-vuit Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm liking the new theming on Rita, espically the newly painted Cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share 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 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Is this picture below a failed launch or a rollback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
