Rita (formerly known as Rita: Queen of Speed) is an Intamin accelerator coaster located in the Dark Forest area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire England. Open since 2005 it accelerates to 61.1 mph in 2.5 seconds. The ride is loosely based on drag racing though this partly changed with the retheming of Ug Land into the Dark Forest in 2010. It now stands as an abandoned drag racer that is used as the escape cart to escape the Dark Forest. Riders must be over 1.4 m (55 in) tall to ride.
