Rita was designed for Towers, as others have pointed out it very deliberately navigated corkscrew (both track and supports).

Can you imagine a park the size of Oakwood being in a position to order a custom designed ride from Intamin, wait until its manufactured and ready to install then turn around and go "Nah changed our minds, Gerst will build us one with a big drop instead" without serious repercussions?

Rita even has the Corkscrew avoiding support specifically designed for it which Desert Race also has.

The ending does differ slightly though. In that the trim brakes slope down and it takes the final corner faster than Rita does and is shaped differently.

What’s the rides like in the rain and thunderstorms these days? Unfortunately bringing our son up over the weekend and the weather is looking very wet sadly.

Spinball doesn’t seem to operate at all in the rain anymore. Th13teen seems to be very hit and miss to whether it will be operating.

If there’s thunderstorms in the area everything outdoors will close.

BBC are saying thunderstorms, Met office saying light rain, accu weather rain, apple weather light rain, so who knows! Not sure which weather site is most accurate for towers!
