Rita - Queen of Speed

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Rita is waiting to put the pedal to the metal and show you what she means by high speed.

Capturing the hi-octane thrill of drag racing, Rita - Queen of Speed promises to give you a ride like none other. Feel the force of 4.7 Gs as Rita accelerates from 0-100kph in just 2.5 seconds.

Adrenaline junkies can race to new highs as Alton Towers' latest rollercoaster fires them around the steel track. Those who are feeling brave enough can strap themselves into Rita's driving seat. Be sure to hold onto your wits though because she may move a little too fast for you!
