Rita Speed/Acceleration Change?

[Ben James]

Hi all, just been looking through the Wikipedia pages for a few of Alton Towers' rides and noticed something quite interesting. On the first line of Rita's Wikipedia page, it is said "Open since 2005, it accelerates to 70 mph in 2.1 seconds." Everyone knows that Rita accelerates 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. I was wondering if the launch system has been upgraded (like Stealth's at Thorpe) or if this is just someone trolling? (Which i assume it is).

It's probably just a mistake.

It's Wikipedia, any Tom, Dick and Harry can edit it.

Got to love a good Wikipedia troll/overexcited child.

Once it said it top speed was 600mph on Wikipedia. Got to love wiki jokers

I think this one's been cleared up then. Locked!
