My dad and I went on this ride, and when he go off, this yellow liquid was leaking from the side of his leg. It looked like he was peeing himself, turns out he had a bottle of orange Fanta in his pocket (how he fit it in, I will never know) and it had burst from the pressure. He didn’t even realise what was happening until he had walked off the platform, honestly one of the funniest experiences ever.
I put my hands up near the end of the launch and found that it didn't hurt at all. I find a ride seems more fun when your hands are in the air. Tip: put your hands up immediately after the launch, then you won't get hurt.
Rita is actually good, it’s short but provides good pops of airtime, a forceful launch, snappy transitions, a mad sense of speed and an overall smooth experience
Tejinder Chauhan If you've ever been on the ride, you'll see that he says go as you move off. And the lights just switch from red to green, there's no amber light, and within a millisecond you shoot off.
Absolutely love this ride! I've ridden every single coaster at every Merlin park in the UK and I have yet to experience something as intense as Rita. The launch is just out of this world!
the first time i went on it when i was younger, i leaned forward by a few cm and my head got 'stuck' and due to the force i couldn't move it back until half way around the track haha. it hurt
I'm going with my College on the 5th April! I can't wait! Its a weeks time today! Woop woop! Me and my best friend are watching the videos non stop! Omg omg I really can't wait! Wopppuyy
When I was on it the start was delayed so I lifted my head to look around to see what was going on and it just abruptly started and my head smashed into the seat sideways.
Great ride. Thought it was an easy one to start of with tho and I was wrong! It is very fast, terrifying but extremely great and fun at the same time!:)
Went to Alton towers last Friday went on Rita , my back hurts ,still Alton towers best rides are 1. Smiler ,best ride I have ever been on and then oblivion and then thirteen and then this ride ,Rita
CoasterForce is going as part of our annual GhosterForce Live. We'll also be visiting Drayton Manor, Chessington and Thorpe Park as part of our 10th GhosterForce celebrations.
i went to alton towers today and i went on this ride, u really dont understand how insanely fast it is until you actually go on it. its generally quite a long ride but it doesnt seem like it because its so fast, queuing time is a long time but its worth it
Priya Kumari I'm glad I'm not ;) I loved this ride! But the tension is immense; I mean I understand that the objective of queueing is to build up the adrenaline, but when I'm stood there waiting to be strapped up and shot off, I doubt myself - though fortunately for us we fast tracked Rita, Oblivion, Air, Th13teen, Nemesis and Nemesis Sub-terra! Haha! X
This video inadequately describes the speed of Rita. It was AMAZING! I went on almost every single thrill ride except the Smiler (obviously) and the Nemesis Sun-Terra because it was closed.
Last year, me and my friend where in the queue for Rita , it was quite long and we didn’t have fast track so we had to wait like an hour? When we got near the top of the queue my friend said to me “hey look, the front row line is shorter, let’s go there”, so we went and sat in the front. Instant regret.
I went on this rollercoaster yesterday and watching a video just isn't the same because of the g force on the ride it feels like your going into space XD
oh noes wotdoido It’s not a nickname. It used to be called Rita: Queen of Speed when it was themed to racing but then got themed to escaping the dark forest and from then was just called Rita.
I went on this not once but twice Idk what was going through my head , it was a good ride but its that quick u bang ur head a lot 😂😂 and the set of jeez it’s so quick in real life I regret putting my hands up
Imwent on this ride a few days ago im 11 and I was laughing on it and I was sitting at the very front itmwas soooo fun and so is ripsaw if you go I definetly reccommend going on this ride x
FUN FACT: Did you know that Rita has the 2nd shortest ride time (from start to first brake run) in the world at 20 seconds! The shortest is a little kiddie coaster (15 seconds).
My dad hates rollercoasters so naturally myself and my mum took him to alter towers for his 50th birthday... the catch was that we blindfolded him and said “we get to choose your first ride” We chose this one, he didn’t get to take off the blindfold until he was strapped in and the look of horror on his face... it shot off and my dad just kept screaming “I’m going to die” “I’m disowning you!” Funniest thing i have ever seen!
This may as well have been called 'Billy Pantiegirdles Slightly Startling Journey Round The Wheatfields Of Debbie Mcgee's Front Parlour' for all the charm it exudes.
You don't realise how fast this really is until you ride it! The launch is totally insane!!! One of my favourite rides in the park
dmc 96 I love this ride
its pretty shocking how fast it really is
Mine too, sadly it’s really underrated and it’s such a great ride!
dmc 96 it’s not that fast compared to dragster red force or maxx force
I’m going to Alton towers tomorrow so I hope these rides are fun!
My dad and I went on this ride, and when he go off, this yellow liquid was leaking from the side of his leg.

Sounds funny 😂
I thought this ride was so slow. So In the beginning I put my hands up.
*never should of done that*
+THE SATURDAY S I know right I went to Drayton manor and saw apocalypse via youtube and went on it yeah its a lot a lot a lot higher than you think
I put my hands up near the end of the launch and found that it didn't hurt at all. I find a ride seems more fun when your hands are in the air. Tip: put your hands up immediately after the launch, then you won't get hurt.
THE SATURDAY S made the same mistake, but on kingda ka... Writing from afterlife...
try putting your arms up on a 161kph ride...backwards.
THE SATURDAY S so, you’re saying that you didn’t see it whilst you’re waiting in the queue?
Rita is actually good, it’s short but provides good pops of airtime, a forceful launch, snappy transitions, a mad sense of speed and an overall smooth experience
The scariest part is how it just shoots off, with no real warning.
expect for the GO GO GO
no real warning? theres lights that go from red to green....then a voice of a man who says go go go... i'd say that gives you a pretty good warning
Tejinder Chauhan If you've ever been on the ride, you'll see that he says go as you move off. And the lights just switch from red to green, there's no amber light, and within a millisecond you shoot off.
Brunette483 hold on tight you must escape.................gogogo!!!
I hate it but when i was on superman, i thought the doors were opening so i was just talking and we shot of backwards to 161kph lol.
I went on this when it was pissing it down with rain...like being stabbed by a million needles
+Harry Deans ooohh thats gotta hurt. Alot
:(
Harry Deans I think i went on the same ride the same day you went lmao. I was at the front aswell
Yeah u went yesterday and went on Rita and it as pissing it down
Welcome to Britain
Absolutely love this ride! I've ridden every single coaster at every Merlin park in the UK and I have yet to experience something as intense as Rita. The launch is just out of this world!
You've ridden stealth too?
These rides are amazing in the dark- I went for Halloween and the atmosphere was great
same! 2 hour and half queuing for us though >:(
me and my friend went on this and he pissed himself on the launch.
When I saw the comment I was like not scary and bad, then I went on it like I should have believed 😂
unikatie 15 hahaha i told you lool
Banta101 yes that was really fast. I sat on it.
Daniel Swif
Daniel Swift hi
Note to self put your head back before the ride starts
Love Rita although wish it could be longer
My neck nearly snapped stupid me I was leaving forward when it said go bad bad bad mistake
I nearly shit myself, i didn't expect it to go that fast
the first time i went on it when i was younger, i leaned forward by a few cm and my head got 'stuck' and due to the force i couldn't move it back until half way around the track haha. it hurt
+Alexandra S I did that on Stealth in Thorpe Park 😂 my friends mum laughed so hard
Yeah don't ever do that again lol.
This ride is amazing. The g-force can be a bit unbearable at the beginning when you first set off though
Try Top Thrill Dragster then.
Puga Pew thanks for that! won't be going on it then.
Apparently it has a g force of 4.7 more than oblivion and the smiler.
X-Steven-X you’ve clearly never been on it
*laughs in literally any other true launch coaster*
Play at 1.5 speed for the real experience!
M 😂 yes
Omg I went on it today ooffffff it was sooo fast and sick
Told my friend to lean forward at the start!
Then what happened?
he had a bad neck! xD
lol. But it's not good to put friends in bad luck. Btw how is life, just sayin.
+Oo Hannah Nouri oO It's a joke you idiot
ThemeParkMite No need to be rude. I thought he would get hurt.
My sister goes here 3-4 times a year she loves it.She goes on all the rides she can,SHE LOVES THE air and smiler and thirteen
I'm going with my College on the 5th April! I can't wait! Its a weeks time today! Woop woop! Me and my best friend are watching the videos non stop! Omg omg I really can't wait! Wopppuyy
You never fail to amaze me how you actually manage to keep hold of your camera in these videos!
Haha I totally forgot that I wrote this comment, that was 3 years ago Jesus Christ 😂
looove this one, definitely my favourite ride at alton towers!
My FAVE Alton towers ride
The Phandom is here too?
+UnimaginativeLlama the fandom is everywhere
Hold on tight! You must escape..
GO, GO, GO
me: *gasps for air cause of the launch*
When I was on it the start was delayed so I lifted my head to look around to see what was going on and it just abruptly started and my head smashed into the seat sideways.
Raccoon_Lord I’m sorry I laughed at your comment
Omg no wayy
Sorry but this made me laugh 😂
this was the fastest thing ever, I couldnt breathe for the first 20 seconds - i was convinced i was gonna die 😂

This ride is great, the tension before the launch is unreal😁
ride stealth at Thorpe park, that's 80mph
+Coasterfan3657 ride kingda ka in six flags great adventure. Its 128mph.
+CoasterGuy try suggesting something that would be easy for someone in England to get to genius
+Coasterfan3657 I was suggesting something ridiculous just as stealth is. It's still a long distance from AT to Thorpe.
+CoasterGuy um.... its 2-3 hours away
Rode this beaut from the front seat a couple of years ago. ..takes off like 💩💩💩💩 off a shovel. Bloody brilliant!😁😁😁
Queuing up for this now!!
Great ride
I went on it twice today and I screamed all the way both times.
I absolutely LOVED THIS RIDE!!! HAHAHAHAA!!!!
I been on this ride and I love it =)
I went on the front row on this today,he pulled the thing down SOO TIGHT!i couldn't enjoy it!
Went on this at Scarefest this year. When I came off I had a panic attack because of the speed. It's absolutely insane!
The launched version of skyrush
Ummm.... I don't know about that haha
Holy shit it's fetus Taylor
Rita deserves a coaster parody
Great ride. Thought it was an easy one to start of with tho and I was wrong! It is very fast, terrifying but extremely great and fun at the same time!:)
Do all the ride operators look like Simon Pegg?
Every single one
Plot twist: They are all Simon Pegg
+sassiestpineapple 😂😂😂 I just saw your comment on the log water ride at alton towers and now I'm seeing your comments everywhere
+somegirl81 I feel honoured 😂
HOPE WOOD

I loved this when I went on it
Went to Alton towers last Friday went on Rita , my back hurts ,still Alton towers best rides are 1. Smiler ,best ride I have ever been on and then oblivion and then thirteen and then this ride ,Rita
When I first went on this ride I didn’t like it because I kept my eyes closed 😂 The second time I loved it, it’s really fun 💘
Amazing

directionerzainab ! hahhaaahha 😂😂😂
directionerzainab ! Your not funny

Hahahhaha XD you are literally the funniest person on, never before has such a great sense of intelligence been conveyed in a single CZcams comment.
you talking to me
When I went on this, I had instant bruising on my wrists from the unexpected speed/g-force but I love it, really good ride!
I banged my ear on it :(
I've been on this three times and every time i still forget how fast it is.
That was the only ride that made tear come out of my eye
I remember being so scared to go on this. I liked it in the end but in the photo there were tears streaming down my face
1 1/2 hour wait so worth it. Even though it's over in about 24 seconds. My brother and I went, and we went front seat amazing
Words really can’t describe how fast this ride is, I almost passed out on it
CoasterForce is going as part of our annual GhosterForce Live. We'll also be visiting Drayton Manor, Chessington and Thorpe Park as part of our 10th GhosterForce celebrations.
i thought this ride was slow but the g-force at the start😵ended going on this 4 times it’s actually a really good ride!
so fun!
rita is amazing
My sister was doing her hair at the start of this ride and wasn’t looking at the lights and it zoomed so fast lol her face😂
Queuing for the front seat on this ride was definitely worth it!
Went on this today has to be my favourite of them all well galactica and the smiler were closed
i went to alton towers today and i went on this ride, u really dont understand how insanely fast it is until you actually go on it. its generally quite a long ride but it doesnt seem like it because its so fast, queuing time is a long time but its worth it
Looks really fun!!! I'm going there with my school friends (best friends) on schools reward’s day!!!!

I subscribed and turned on notifications
Will probably go on this in the coming months, hope to survive

Don't worry ur not the only 1 x
Priya Kumari I'm glad I'm not ;) I loved this ride!

Rita earned the nickname 'Queen Of Speed'
oh noes wotdoido It’s not a nickname. It used to be called Rita: Queen of Speed when it was themed to racing but then got themed to escaping the dark forest and from then was just called Rita.
I went on this not once but twice Idk what was going through my head , it was a good ride but its that quick u bang ur head a lot 😂😂 and the set of jeez it’s so quick in real life I regret putting my hands up
in april 2015 i went on it with school it was amazing

It was the speed at the start that got me when i rode it.
Been on the Rita Clone at Heide Park.
Its too short but its very fun
FUN FACT: Did you know that Rita has the 2nd shortest ride time (from start to first brake run) in the world at 20 seconds! The shortest is a little kiddie coaster (15 seconds).

I fainted on this lol and they got it on camera
I went on this yesterday and omg it’s so fast
This may as well have been called 'Billy Pantiegirdles Slightly Startling Journey Round The Wheatfields Of Debbie Mcgee's Front Parlour' for all the charm it exudes.
