    Amazing how quickly one goes from being terrified of coasters to agreeing with the junkies about how this isn't that good. It wouldn't be so bad if the queues were 5-10 minutes and not 20-40.

      Troy Smalley The problems are
      1. The height restrictions prevent it from going higher
      2. AT was in a rush to get another coaster in the park, therefore Rita was rushed. Hence, Rita doesn't have much elements, the only good ones being the launch and the bank turn after. If they took more time on Rita, they could have made it longer and added more elements and airtime hills and maybe even an inversion. Personally though I still love Rita and think it's a must ride when visiting.

    Underrated and Overhated definitely. I think this ride is very good. I know most of you will probably attack me and stab me multiple times while I sleep at night dreaming about rainbows, while my internal organs are being stolen to be sold on the black market, but personally I think this is a fun ride. The launch is nice and thrilling, and you get some decent pops of airtime. It’s the gap between Th13teen and Oblivion. This will always be a fun ride, until it starts having SLC Syndrome and needs to have some dismantling pills.

      Stealth is a good ride for sure but just not as fulfilling as Rita. After the launch, unless you're on the front row, Stealth just loses the fun. There is also more constant speed on Rita and more airtime, too. Despite an 18 mph speed difference, the launches feel more or less the same, and I actually feel that Rita has more of a kick to it. You also get a churning of the stomach on Rita that I never experienced on Stealth, so I have always liked Rita much better than Stealth.
