Rita, Alton Towers Point of View

[beckbox1]

I w8 3hours 45 to ride this in march when th13 broke and opened on that day th13 did

[t0036028c]

Coasterforce, should I go to alton towers or thorpe park if I stay in london?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@t0036028c Thorpe Park is much closer to London & is a great park, but Alton Towers is the best park in the UK & well worth the trip north.

[zwady]

I couldn't keep my eyes open at the start :P

[tekken5785]

i was quing over 40 mins to go on ride wich is only to seconds but i enjoyed it

[xxPony151]

rita's amazin, its too short though :p

[MGPninjaman]

i was on at nd i was in da frnt seat nd i threw up :/

[altontowersextreme]

@MGPninjaman

:D

[MGPninjaman]

@altontowersextreme ya :/



[MeowImaDinosaurXD]

I love the shouts off the people lining up for 13 as rita goes over their heads!

[Jambo4sfmm]

@MeowImaDinosaurXD 13 wasn't there in 2006

[FruitLooperLove]

Went on this today!! Fucking amazing

[MrsMusso24]

Was on this earlier. Awesome.!

[hallariousct]

Rita is fucking terrible.

Maverick is awesome, but British people don't always have the privilege to ride American coasters. But yall have Nemesis so it makes up.

[LaPieinsky]

@hallariousct Hi, I agree with you.It's a terrible ride. My worst so far, along with The Big One at Blackpool -I got a backacke for 3 days after, there was no harness, just a bar! I'd love to try some great American rides, some look gorgeous, and Canadian and Austrian, the long smooth wooden ones are really appealing, freaky too but not over the limit, see what I mean.Nemesis was good but too much condensed,I watch the Air P.o.v.: it doesn't make me feel like trying it...which1 in UK you advise?

[MrPantalaymon]

@hallariousct yeah but most of the British theme parks have strict height restrictions and limited space so it is a lot harder to build rollercoasters to the standard of the ones in the US and Canada. But we make up for it in our theming and scenery which is normally hugely better than the US

[jessica4eva123]

@TheMysticalCheese yeahh it doesn't go upside down its just verry fast :)

[chakisensi]

I WENT ON RITA - it lasted like 5 seconds then i was of :( went quite fast though !!

[recall611]

omg i almost cried when i saw corkscrew :') lol

[TheKeelykins]

Saturday:)

[emmakaulitzbabeyyy]

i went on this for the first time yesterday, banged my head on the seat things and my earing pierced into my neck :/ horrible! but it'd defnitely go on it again :')!

[muddyelam]

you can see the corkscrew next to it... RIP

[OriginalJ0NEZYY]

going here on tuesday!:Dwooooop!

[Alexander4never]

I went to alton towers today. The queue for Rita was sooo short. I went like 4 times in 20 minutes!

[Deathriken]

any1 notice the missing light?

[kboy3141]

wooooooooooooooooooo... he sounds scared...

[electrotapped]

i miss old Rita: Queen of Speed... :( I don't like the horror death version of the ride...

[SazzieChan]

I was expecting Rita to be a waste of time. But I went on it yesterday and it was amazing! It so exceeded my expectations. :DD

[jetwhite]

This was the first time I ever rode Rita, I'm the guy you can hear shouting "GOOOOO!" at the very start before the launch! :)

[Jmarley912]

@jetwhite Erm, no ur not the voiceover mate - sorry

[Jmarley912]

@jetwhite fake and gay

[Meteddica]

LOL, the guy at 0:17 lost a limb

[kurt3491]

good ride I just don't like having my head bounced around, it hurts :(

[SuperLyria]

OMFG I FIND RITA MORE SCARY THEN STEALTH ! I FELT RITA WAS MORE SCARY THAN OBLIVION LOL!

[kitkatandzii]

I've never been to Alton Towers before but this ride looks shit. It looks like it's going really slow.

[SuperLyria]

@kitkatandzii well rita isnt going slow believe me! your eyes feal like they are gunna rip outa your head! it just looks slow man!

[bieberjonas27]

@kitkatandzii it looks really slow until youre actually on it then you realise how fast it is!

[Rollercoaster5000]

@kitkatandzii No it really isn't! 62 MPH slow? Do me a favour. Rita is a very intense ride.

[nintendork2000]

I love speed,but I AM scared of roller coaster speed(at fast speeds past 93 MPH)and heights.So I won't ride Top Thrill Dragster.

[emraldplec]

@ClownsAllAround This video looks so boring though! Not much height, no particulary steep turns..just a longish slightly winding track. They could have made it so much better. I remember sitting in my seat at Stealth and being terrified BECAUSE of the hight..but i would not be slightly scared of going on Rita

[JessicaaaAC]

went on this yesterday, had to wait 2 hours! its So fast, loved it.

[frijjylover]

i broke my nose on this ride, bloody thing! but good ride though :L

[daviddrane]

@emraldplec stealth is now 1.8 seconds :) I went to thorpe park on sunday and stealth and nemesis inferno are the best. I liked colossus but I pussied out on rush xD can't wait to try Alton towers.

[renewable69]

Is the new rita any different to this or is the same but re-branded and has different paint? like spin-ball wizard :p

[SupaaSweetApril]

i lurvv rita and 13 its relly kool!! air is freeky but luv it

[JustLovesFashion]

@MrCardtrickster100 yeah i definetley agree, once your head is down you cant get it back up, its horrible!

[MrCardtrickster100]

on this ride before u set off sit with your head back because otherwise when u set off u go 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and it will throw u backwards and hit your head on the seat and u can knock your self out or a MAJOR head ache

[JustLovesFashion]

i love it how it goes on the red light instead of the green! :D i was talking cuz it was on the red light and then it shoots off and i was lie WTF! why are you taking off in the middle of my conversation?!

[ThePaperGangsta64]

"We're counting down, the lights are on" - Actually one of them isn't working. Thought I'd just put that on the table for ya

[Jemdt3121996]

Lol why did they call it rita? It now sounds like it was made by a character of coronation street.

[priesty07]

Overrated ride, good 3 seconds, boring 30.

Nemesis and Oblivion FTW

[ThePaperGangsta64]

@priesty07 i agree. i think all rides that last this long are kind of a waste of queueing. that 3 second sensation is unforgettable though.

[Peetyland1]

You guys heard the rollercoaster law right? It HAS to be someone screaming, to make it a wealthy rollercoaster..

[ZilchJohnwebby]

I never got to go on this ride because the que time was twice as long as air and about seven times longer than oblivion so i just settled for air and nemesis twice

[FooFighterfan8]

Best Ride EVER.

[ridepovproductions]

From now on they say "You must ESSSCAAAAPEEEE!" Instead of: "Get those engines ready!" But they still say "Go! Go! Goooo!"

[TheEmsBaby]

I went on it it was so scary! :L and fast!

[2coastercrazy]

i LOVE the fact that rita went evil when th13teen was made and now its so much faster and better thumbs up if you agree

[Mr2Interactive]

I prefer Velocity at Flamingoland (also UK). It does up to about 50-55mph and is slightly slower but is more like a mix between Air and Rita put together, because you're leaning forwards in a bike.

[georgirp]

@Mr2Interactive velocity is really good isn't it

i've never been on rita but i've been on velocity

[coasterscape]

i don't think Rita should've not been rethemed. It looked a lot better as Rita-Queen of Speed, the audios were better, and it had a better story behind it. RIP Queen of Speed.

[xGot2PullThroughx]

i bloody LOVE this ride :')

[MsBlueyes91]

this ride is actually faster than it looks , after ridin that i had a headache lol

[princesspeach4ever9]

i went on rita but it was so fast i dont remember it LOL XD but my head hurt after from bobin side 2 side =) my face in the pic was like id seen a ghost or summet

[aimeemol]

that ride was amazingly fast

[deesidelad1]

i thought 13 was not that impressive to be honest all the hype over it and it was'nt that good but rita was amazing ride very faststart thumbs up from me

[ilykwawawiwa]

this ride sucks

[RyanMellor1]

@ilykwawawiwa

yet your watching a youtube video of it

wow your life must suck

[kiaganga]

nearly as fast as my cossie!!lol

[OfficialMixture]

The Bugatti Veyron has the same 0-60 time as this ride. That's incredible for a car.

[polly123123456]

im goin around that area next saturday and i get to go in the park for 2 days which gives me and my family a good couple of days out :)

[Bets450]

Im going next thursday this looks ament cant wait im going on this first :D

[JEUXolim]

Air is the best ride. It's not really scary but a few thrills do come in now and then. Rita is brilliant but just too short. Dissapointed at the length but hey.

[wingo84]

@JEUXolim 'thats what she said'

[zookeychan]

@JEUXolim That's basically the complaint for EVERY Intamin AG launched coaster LOL (Xcelerator, Stealth, Rita, Top Thrill Dragster, Kingda Ka, Zaturn...)

[AlDaFunkyMonkey]

@JEUXolim lol at the end thats what she said

[Squish155]

@JEUXolim yer i agree, but i still like rita more than air. If air was faster and longer then it would be better...i love both rides though :)

[Bartsk84272]

last time i went 2 alton towers 13 was closed cos of technical difficulties and i was really lookin 4ward 2 it :-(

[werewolfess121]

I'm going on this tomorrow, I'm so anxious! My friend says to keep your head back on the seat at the beggining because it hurts your neck anyway can't sleep! To excited!

[iToxicTheme]

wow im goin alton towers tommorow lol went bed hours ago and istill cant sleep too excited :@

[maxthatmarcoxxxchs]

i went on thirteen :P AMAZING!

[xTotallyxWickedx]

OMG I'M GOING ALTON TOWERS NEXT WEEK. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

[Kimberleg]

Is that it?!?! Thats too short

[GUIT4RHER04LYF]

Please thumbs this up so people can see this, rita does 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, has a maximum speed of 62 mph and lasts for 25 seconds.

[emraldplec]

@GUIT4RHER04LYF Stealth at Thorpe Park is better. 0-80mph in 2.6 seconds

[mcvipacp]

@emraldplec Then don't click on this video. 

[emraldplec]

@mcvipacp Don't be a youtube hater. I clicked on this video because I haven't been on Rita and was curious as to what a POV outlook would be. The respose I got from ClownsAllAround helped. The truth is the video does "look" boring.

[Cinestrio]

@emraldplec I've never been on this ride. And it looks MUCH better than Stealth Stealth is short. A launch, a hill, a smaller hill. Your done. This must give you loads of airtime! You turn and turn. This ride is certainly better than Stealth as far as layout goes!

[emraldplec]

@Cinestrio I know that stealth isa very short track, however I would call it a "ride" rather than a "coaster". When I heard people comparing Rita and Stealth, I was confused as they are totally different experience rides. I'm not scared of speed, but i am scared of heights. Stealth scared the shit out of me like no coaster ever has and that is what I find most exhilarating in a ride, but i wouldn't go on it over and over like Saw and Nemesis. Rita looks awesome, but not "shit i hope i don't die"

[GooseAnimatics]

@emraldplec Actually, the comparison is very fair, as they were originally going to be one ride at Alton Towers. I do agree however, that the comparisons made are, occasionally, rather stupid, such as 'Stealth is taller' or 'Rita is longer'.

[poll7895]

@GUIT4RHER04LYF Stealth goes from 0-80 mph in UNDER 2 seconds! It lasts for around 13 seconds!

[zumiezelemento14]

@GUIT4RHER04LYF Xcelerator at KBF does 0-82 in 2.3 secs. and has a height and drop of 205 feet w/ 2 overbanked curves! whoop whoop!

[Catee62]

rode this today! lol was awesome ;D

[SlashRules81]

2nd July baby, it's gonna be sweet :D

[MidnightMoon170]

Is this ride scary? Because I'm scared of rides and going to Alton towers on Friday??

In fact, could you name all the rides that aren't that scary, please?

[Goldigga18007]

@MidnightMoon170 air, its not scary its fun

[MidnightMoon170]

@Goldigga18007 Yeah, I went there two weeks ago and LOVED IT! I only got to go on two rides though...

[iSmurie]

Can't wait to go on Thursday, so excited :')

[OhMyGleeful]

My eyes watered so much on this, I thought they we're gonna fall out D:

[severina1]

this was scary as fuck...

[Kizzaayyx]

god. hope i don't throw up.

[NotNormalLivesOn]

[Jinngoo123]

[SomeNextPlayer]

I think this is the only pov on yputube that does rita justice n shows how fast it is. Nice one, amazin ride

[Badsellcut]

That bird screaming in the background lol!!!

[GuineaPigGoGoGo]

is this ride better or worse than stealth? :) and why is the fourth light missing? :/

[curlyhubb]

just been on this ride brilliant ,pity i cant say the same about alton towers, a few years since i last went and it as gone down the nick big time,got free tickets from the sun thank goodness i didnt have to pay for them £38 each your haveing a laugh looks like the place could do with a good lick of paint and at least another ten major rides to justify that price a total rip off dont waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Holzie101]

when i went on this, it was actully so fast it hurt! but in this is looks slow:P! i didnt realise it was that long either, it seemed about a second and a half for me haha!

[TheVloging]

i know ive been on it its well awsome i love the first drop tooo!!! and i about broke my back on rita :)

[TheLonelyHappyMeal]

im going wednesday cant wait 2 days!

[LucyH222]

went today, dint go on this tho.. saw katie price thoo haha

[dannyday58218195]

@LucyH222 - hahahaha! went same day as you and saw the bitch katie and that stupid idiot alex - we were having a cig and my mate shouted over look its her and of course i didnt believe him! anyways managed to get a quick pic but only from the side so you can tell its them but its nothin worth selling...sadly. id only use them to make money like they use us fools to do the same!

[aashleyx]

just back from alton towers :D why does the voice over guy on rita now say "hold on tight, you must escape! " is it something to do with th13teen? we were confused haha

[Ll574sa]

@aashleyx Yep its because Rita's been rethemed, its no longer a racing theme because they wanted it to go along with the theme of the dark forest as though its being over-run in a way by the forest, so he's just telling you to escape :)

[TheOneAndOnly554153]

we're going the 11th

[xbox360major]

it goes so fast when you walk off you can barely walk

[JessicaaLouisee3]

Queen of SPEED... Thats really slow ''/ xx

[dancingkizzy]

@JessicaaLouisee3 Its fast when you're on it

[Brittany4automatic]

@JessicaaLouisee3 It goes from 62mph (100km/h) it 2.2 seconds. It's fast.

[gymnast5793]

i definatley wanna go on this wen i go!!!

[BeckiixRisa]

eee, I went yesterday! Was amazing! I was describing to my friends that it was awesome and we HAD to go on it. Finally persuaded them and when they got on, they were all shaking and I was like "...GO.GO.GO!" -SCREAAAAM-" xD

[hopwood1993]

This ride is sick! me and my friend put our arms up when it went round. I swear our arms nearly snapped off haha

[shleeandrallyally]

Im goin to alton towers in may with my school what a day for the last day of your 11 woop woop!

[LittleDevilSophie96]

You Dont Actually know the speed of his until you on it :L

[NUFCmax]

@LittleDevilSophie96 init, i reckon this is the only ride in the park that is completely different to how to expect by videos :L

[Healtheworldx]

It is unbelievably fast! I hit my ear/head on the bars (that keep you on the ride) because it was going soo fast :D Dont think i would want to go on it again though :P

[Sickandtwisted1996]

ive been on velocity in flamingo land im heading here on saturday. The force from the lauch on velocity (motorbike coaster, look it up it rox!) was awesome however i heard this is more g's so is it painful or really weird cuz this is a different car design 2 velocity

[bradleythebear17]

no its actually very comfortable, you just need to keep your head back. and brace yourself when he starts talking

[headbangEMO]

@bradleythebear17 thanks for the info, going 2nd april :)

[CallumCunningham7]

well i did go on it!! this is my favourite ride there next to th13teen and air. trust me this goes so much faster than you think!!!!

[HorsesForeva95]

@TheVloging 13 is scaryy XDDD

[TheEmsBaby]

@TheVloging 13 Was shit! :/ What did you think? x

[x0kelzandcourtzx0]

@TheEmsBaby ano it is shit, i went in july with school and it was crap ://xxx

[davidjames1001]

I went on ii on the 11th of April 2010 LOL I still remeber the date!

[ThePaperGangsta64]

@TheVloging how weird, that's when i went :D

[koolkillax]

Why was the 4th light not lit?

[ItsLottiee]

@koolkillax Because you cant depend on them, i think they broke ages ago !

Trust me.. If you go dont depend on the lights !

[koolkillax]

@ItsLottiee Look I just see what I see ok!

[ZoeAndRachel]

OMG! It was amazing :D

It looks really slow on here, but the rides only like 10 seconds!

And its high up :P

But so worth the long que to get on!!!

[RollerCoasterFanGirl]

I prefer Kingda Ka thank you.

[Lorna662]

LOL R I P corkscrew

[taekwonjo01]

i know this sounds gay but does this ride hurt at all ( g-forces)?

[1995maggot4life]

@taekwonjo01

it dosnt hurt but some body claimed that they broke there rists from the acceleration.(i dont really belive that would happen tho)

but any way it dosnt really hurt just sometimes its harder to breath rofl

[xander2810]

It doesn't physically hurt...the video doesn't do the speed justice, but it's just so fast you've got no time to get used to it...before you know it it's over and you're a bit shaky.

[ThreeBros23]

@taekwonjo01 relax ur head its like stealth thats it cos first time i went on it i put my head forwards and banged my head on both sides of where ur supposed to put ur head

[NUFCmax]

this shows nothing like the true greatness, when your actually on it, thats when you feel the shire speed and intensity!

[chazbbe]

whats it like to go on the front?

im going to alton towers next friday with a mate.. just wondering..if its different to going on the back?

[Pwinces92]

this ride is my favourite i absolutely loved this ride :D xxx

[twinny94]

Nice vid. although i think it looks a lot slower for some reason :/ x

[coasterrick]

this is gud but i envy americans somtimes with the rides they have like kingda ka and top thrill dragster this just doesnt compare

if you havnt seen the videos of them two you shud def check em out and be amazed

[leonmansley]

This Ride IS AMAZZNG

[365Tickets]

Nice Video

[Eloisejaye1234]

its faster than it looks :P it was good though

[Nokka10]

best ride ive been on...the accleration is almost too much...when i came off it i couldnt walk for about 10 minutes

[JFrombaugh]

LOL the ride launched when the lights were still red.

[guardman1000]

brilliant ride

[chazputt93]

so short

[sumthinspecial007]

I was rather suprised when I went on this cuz I thought it would be slow and it was my first rollercoaster . Rita is amazin and I was laughing when I came off lmao

[Isabelx0x]

I am like SOOOOO going on that it looks perfect for me, cos I have a phobia of heights? It's reaaaalllyyyy fast, not too high, not too babyish and it dont go upside-down :D
