Anyone been yet this year and been on RITA.
It looks amazing from what I've seen and it looks quite scary also.

Thankyou.

I haven't been for ages :(. The last time we went it was a dull day and it was almost empty :o .
The only ride we had to wait for was Nemesis and that was only a 5 min wait!. The second time round we didn't even wait ;).

By the way...WTF is RITA?....A new ride i'm guessing :?

I have :D

Its quite spectacular, if not quite short.

Go for the front seats first time round, just so you can experience the launch face first :D

You are rocketted off reaching 62mph pretty much in a blink of an eye and are kept at that force for around 4 seconds which is pretty intense!

Up and over the largest hill for some massive air time (ie. being lifted out of your seat) round some sharp bends, into more air time, and finally you reach the brake run which itself is pretty forceful!

Better than Nemesis IMO!

(ps. final stats were recorded as: 62mph (100kph) in 2.3seconds @ 4.7G)
