Reviews
Charly Bigpotatoes: (
) I thought Rita was great, I too went on an off peak day and rode it 4 times on the bounce, I wouldn't recommend that though as my head started to pound. Anyone who hasn't enjoyed it is probably more annoyed that they qued up for so long.
Chiz: My favourite ride in the whole world (except from stealth). I always get fastrack though so I only need to wait like 30mins for front row.
jack king: Rita is a great ride and the only way to ride it is in the front the back no way its worth waiting 30 mins extra for the front although after waiting on average 60-90 min queue you should just sit anywhere.
