Rita at Alton Towers Resort

Experience a thrill like no other. Rita launches out of the blocks at an incredible 0-100kph in just 2.5 seconds, pushing you through a whopping 4.7 G Force.

Rita is one of Alton Towers Resort's newer rollercoasters, having been added to the world famous collection in 2005. It's a short ride - but one brimming with rip roaring intensity, not to mention that it's very, very fast!

Once strapped into the carriage you'll have to leave your breath and stomach at the station as you are fired towards the first turn. There's plenty of air time on the first hill, and then you'll drop back down towards the Corkscrew station not too far away from the people in the queue lines.

You'll then find yourself speeding over the second air time hill and take a tight turn within the same area as you took the first. After this you'll go up the final hill and into a few sets of brakes, finally coming to rest at the station. You might just be able to catch your breath!
