- Unlike traditional rollercoasters, Rita does not begin with a lift hill but instead powers her trains down a launch track, accelerating them from 0 to 62mph (100km/h) in 2.5 seconds. From there, the trains continue through a series of swooping curves and over airtime hills around the Dark Forest.
