Rita: General Discussion

Rita is reliable enough that it will stay for the time being, but it sits on a site that has a lot of potential when it’s opened up. I think it’ll stay for the medium term whilst investment is held elsewhere but I think the proposition for it to go will only compound with each season.

I would like to see another launch coaster before Rita departs though. There’s room in the lineup for both an LSM and Hydraulic launch.
 
Yup, very nice established old path right round the back of the area at the top of the garden valley too, from the big food place right round to the front of the towers on the high contour line, round the back of Thirteen.

Rita: General Discussion

Rita was built with corkscrew standing….
towersstreet.com towersstreet.com

I was more thinking like this on the previous page
 
Waste of a good path and lovely woodland walk though...you can still stroll round via the five barred gate (unlocked) at the top of the valley, bn the old picnic "ride " grassed area.
 
I expect either of the two rides could be converted from hydraulic launches to LSM, but I can only imagine Stealth being offered that courtesy.

I can't see that happening, stealth has a very small launch track (it currently is the fastest accelerating coaster in the world primarily due to its hydraulic launch) lsm's don't have the power to launch with such quick acceleration meaning they would have to have a longer launch track, either meaning essentially a new ride or a reverse spike (top thrill 2 had to add a reverse spike)
rita I would think could be possible, although I wonder what would become of the hydraulic room, as a lot of the tracks supports are ontop of it and it would essentially become pointless (although they could use it for capacitor storage to store the electrical charge for each launch)
