Rita - Downtime 5.7.12

[T]

Rita didn't open this morning during ERT, and only did so mid afternoon. Does anybody know why?

Announcement now stating "Rita is running on a reduced capacity, with a queue line of 65 minutes".

I did see two trains launch around lunch, but absolutely nothing after (or before).

I don't know why but it's a shame. There seems to be a lot of downtime this season...

It's currently ceased operation once more, with staff manually releasing the riders.

Ugh!

Generally because it's a theme park down time is a lot more noticeable in the public eye all machinery brakes at several parts of its career

Update:

Rita is operating on a Reduced Capacity - only one train. The queue is horrendous, as is the weather!

Wow how are the other rides coping today ??

The weather could have affected it in some way, its far more sensitive than most other rides.
