In terms of surroundings it doesn't match up to Rita. Much of the main part
of the ride is in an undecorated plain concrete area, with no theming or
even trees around it. However it does make up for this with it's compact
track area which results in more twists and turns, and you being closer to
other parts of the track. This means it matches up to Rita in the speeding
round the track section.
Where it doesn't quite match up to Rita,
and what I think makes Rita the slightly better ride is the launch.
It's a well done launch, with some good sound effects played to build
up the tension, but it doesn't create
as
much of a sensation of sudden intensity and acceleration as Rita does.
Don't let this put you off though. It may not be the best example of its
type out there, but very few rides can say that. It's still a very
thrilling coaster that makes a worthy addition to the line up of rides at
both Flamingo Land, and in the country as a whole. |
