Rita (Alton Towers)

[Simba]

Rita (formerly known as Rita: Queen of Speed) is an Intamin accelerator coaster located in the Dark Forest area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. It accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in approximately 2.2 seconds (previously 2.5 seconds). The ride is loosely based on drag racing. It is similar to Stealth at Thorpe Park which opened in 2006, though this partly changed with the retheming of Ug Land into the Dark Forest for 2010. Riders must be over 1.4 m (55 in) tall to experience this ride.

Did they not even go on Rita?
Anyway, Rita is a good ride, although not the best in the park, still very popular.
