Mattgwise Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 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.

pluk Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Tragic. Surely this can not be necessary? But if it really is this can not be the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 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... Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFarmerDean Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 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 Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 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. OldFarmerDean and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Oh I know, the front few carriages are fine.. On my latest visit I got the back row for the bad train. Absolute hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyRed95 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 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.

pluk Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 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. MattyMoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Altitude, OldFarmerDean, Whiteknuckle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
