On this;

Rita Queen of Speed at Alton Towers

http://www.themeparks-uk.com/files/AT_RIDE_GUIDE_RITA_THUMB.jpg

If you havn't been on it, then do it....

It makes me wonder how you can possibly control a car that fast!!! When i was riding it i was imagining having to pull a parachute/change gear etc..... on the 4th ride (at the front) i can safely say i wouldnt even be able to drive in a straight line at that speed.

Think that "Rita Queen of Speed" ride at Alton Towers does it in about the same time. Awesome ride, do cack your pants a bit when it first goes though!

It is awesome, although the last time I was down at Alton Towers Rita was out of use!

Can't wait to go back again. It feels like all your internal organs are being pushed through your back

2005 iirc....

It is a mean machine it needs another 200m of straight track and should accel to about 150+ for a sheer buzz.

I go this time of year every year because its always dead.

Que times were zilch, longest que was oblivion at 15mins. Nememsis and Air were pretty much walk on....

Altho Air is pretty shit, needs to be 10x faster. Superman would be ashamed

It's utter class! Not as scary as Detonator i think. Had some problems on the day we went, think it was it's first official day. Kept on getting delayed, the bloke who worked there said some kid fell out and got stuck in the track! Cheaky twat! lol

lol. Isnt stealth 1.8 seconds now? I know its advertised to be the quickest one in Europe. I doubt theyd try to topple that with Rita cus their both under tussauds management

i could have sworn it was 0-100 in 2.5? i bought a photo and i'm sure it said 0-100 maybe not.. But yeahhh wht a mint ride.. get sick of the Que's though... Best day to go is Mayday bankholiday believe it or not i've been 6 years running and every year it's shit dead!!! Literally i'd say about 400 people where as peak could sky upto 7000 Visitors lool possibly more..

Scariest ride I've ever been on has to be the Grand National at Blackpool.

It's that old and rickety that it just feels like it should collapse at any time lol

I really liked the ride with the big swinging chairs too. Was as good as stealth imo, probablyt cus the queue was only 10 mins. Bounce i think it was called
