Rita or Rita: queen of speed is a Intamin hydraulic launch coaster which opened nearly 20 years ago. The name Rita stands for Alton Towers Intamin Rocket (Rita Backwards). The ride was themed around drag racing, sort of flinstones esc to fit in with the Ug land area. In 2008 the Corkscrew closed and in 2010 The Dark Forest opened with the new ride Th13teen. The coaster gained a more overgrown escape theme and was called just Rita.
