Rita: I'm the fastest ride in Alton Towers Oblivion: Are you sure about that?

[@izaan397]

Thomas and friends reference be like

[@bennickss]

@@izaan397 How?

[@fishwithlightbulb1064]

fun fac: this advert is longer than the ride itself

[@zezebrown7479]

Rita can not be under a 30 second ride

[@LadnamedWallace]

To be fair, it really didn't top anything lol. Nonetheless Rita is a unique ride for its time where top-hats were the thing.

[@Todd21212]

Rita: Queen of Speed. Your best one trick pony ride at Alton Towers ever.

[@matthewsouthwell9653]

Well yeah it is actually because Oblivion is overrated 😂

[@AH-be6bu]

@@matthewsouthwell9653at least oblivion was the first of its kind. Rita was nothing special in 2005 and it’s even less than that now.

fun is fun.

[@Foxeral]

‘Rita Queen of Speed, out on April Fools Day…’ I wonder if the theme park fans thought it was an April fool’s?

[@dylanmurphy4342]

Great ride but it's too short😭

[@XavierRath-yy5qc]

I ride Rita for the first time because I was scared than the ride was going faster 😮than my heart was racing

[@Ygfff4]

Rita can be a name it’s so rare to be named Rita

[@shark202pug4]

It's sort of false advertising when they said 0-100 in 2.5 seconds for two reasons 1: It said just 0-100 not 0-100 kmh (kilometers per hour) and because it is The UK people would expect It to be mph (miles per hour) 2: It said it goes 0-100 KPH even though it actually goes 99.1 kmh

[@coolperson962]

Yeah but Oblivion isn't truly a vertical drop either. Got to take a pinch of salt with marketing

[@shark202pug4]

[@simplestuff1247]

What did people expect though? A top hat? Rita couldn’t ever have one of those otherwise the local residents would be furious at the park since they can’t build above the tree height but Rita still could’ve had an inversion

[@AH-be6bu]

the height restriction might have allowed for a ‘Collossus’ style corkscrew in the second half. I wonder if they might’ve considered something like that had ‘Corkscrew’ itself not yet been decommissioned.

[@deadaccount2048]

⁠@@AH-be6buThat would’ve been sik! (Sorry for the pun lol) That could have happened as a tribute to the original Corkscrew though. Or it could have been something like Thunder Looper where theres a massive loop after the launch. Either way it’s not the first one trick pony they created.

[@Henry_The_green_train]

True like we dont need a stealth clone in alton towers

[@OllieCoaster]

@@AH-be6buwell I mean the layout wasn’t designed for towers anyway they just bought it after Oakwood decided to get a eurofighter instead that’s why they had to paint it green cos it goes a little over

[@NOTactiveHERE-o2o]

“Queen of speed” it goes slower than oblivion

[@anonymousiosgamer2322]

Ikr

[@anonymousiosgamer2322]

Oblivion is the fastest ride in the uk not just Alton towers 😂

[@NOTactiveHERE-o2o]

@@anonymousiosgamer2322 no the fastest is stealth

[@bennickss]

@@NOTactiveHERE-o2o oblivion is the third fastest, the big one second and stealth first

[@withfor0912]

@@anonymousiosgamer2322 No

[@OllieCoaster]

You said nothing could top stealth, you said not even saw or the swarm, but when you hadn’t seen it coming.. was the walking dead the ride…

[@zezebrown7479]

No one was even talking about Thorpe park

[@OllieCoaster]

Its a joke cos rita and twd are both bad

[@beardedbloke2521]

Rita is a great ride but Stealth, Thorpe Park is better despite being much shorter in duration

[@KalaschniKlown]

The Original 5 Gum commercial

[@zezebrown7479]

Yall saying that oblivion is better rita is way better oblivion is just a drop then its finished rita has a longer ride

[@sandwichknight7612]

I think people are more pointing out that Oblivion, even for how short it is, has a higher top speed than Rita. Users are finding humour in it as Rita was always marketed as a fast ride.

[@dylanmurphy4342]

​@@sandwichknight7612I mean Rita is fast just maybe not the Queen Of Speed

[@thecinematicmind]

I used to make parodies of this advert thanks to how ridiculous that narration is…

[@Xxkxkdkkskxxk]

Oblivion tops Rita
