Alton Towers wants you to "ride Rita"

Yeah, if you look at the left-hand side of the page, the border seems to tilt at an 80 degree angle, so it seems as though perhaps there will be a top-hat where you wouldn't go straight up, but up and back a little bit at an angle like that...or perhaps there will be a loop/corkscrew something like that, eh?

If it is a Vekoma, then maybe the cars will be shaped as "Rita" thus riding Rita!

Oh the humanity! Anyway, anyone think there might be a dip after the launch then the tophat?

Rob A asked: "I wonder why this ride isn't one of Alton's Secret Weapon rides? What makes a coaster a Secret Weapon anyway?"

I *believe* that the SW designation at Alton only lasts until their new rides get announced...then it's not really a SECRET any more...;)

Would this be one of those Moosh: The Ride joke moments or will the coaster actually be named Rita? Rita: The Ride, hmm....

"Lovely Rita, Meter Maid"?

I think it will be more like 100mph because all the other rocket rollercoasters can go at that speed or faster
