Rita: General Discussion

[Ciaran]

I’m not sure why so many people call for Rita to be removed when there is a different coaster in Forbidden Valley quite literally begging to be ripped out. And it’s not Nemesis.

I have always loved Rita I do wish it had the Formula Rossa and Xcelerator style lap bars as those are comfortable but still a great ride

This was from yesterday, presumably refilling the nitrogen? EDIT: Just seen the previous posts with pictures of these tanks!

Good to see the system being refilled, testing 'should' be imminent. With a re opening very soon

I would rather ride Air/ Galactica than Rita and I don’t massively rate Air/ Galactica.

Hopefully it’s soon, it’s been a long time until the park has been “fully” open, and I’m waiting until
Rita is open until I visit as I’m not a MAP holder and I’d like the most bang for my buck.

It should benefit queues across the park and let people have a better day!

Me too, I am also waiting for the Queen to open, before I visit.

In the last few years my opinion has definetly changed from preferring Galactica over Rita, to now preferring Rita over Galactica. Partly the ride experience, but a lot due to Galactica’s worse ops and unreliability (I’m aware I’m saying that at a point Rita has been closed for over two weeks!). I also think being right in the corner of the park Galactica could be so much more than it is just as a coaster whereas Rita should be linked in with a complete retheme of Dark Forest, so potentially a bigger job.

But both rides should be on the replace within the next five years list, in my opinion.

Anything been happening near Rita recently, we’re nearly at a months downtime… seemingly all is quiet at the moment

Not been on park for a while and a bit of speculation on my part I think Rita is done wouldn't surprise me if they removed it to use the parts to keep Stealth going.

Maybe it's the reasons Horizon has been postponed for now as more pressing issues are occurring

Rita is not done yes it's experiencing the same kind of issues as before but it's not being removed

Never say never people kept saying Kingda Ka wasn't gonna be removed but towards the end of the season it was evident that it was without a send off
