The most surprising coaster for me at Alton Towers was without a doubt Rita. You hear nothing about this ride but negative, that it's shaky and rough. And I went in expecting the worst but I was pleasantly surprised to get a fairly smooth, fast and fun ride. I ended up riding the ride twice and I wish I could've gotten more rides in. There's not many better coaster elements than a hydraulic launch!

My trip to Knott's in 2019 was one of the worst days at a park I've ever had although that was no fault of the park. It was a 100+ degree day and I foolishly sprinted through getting all of the credits at park opening instead of taking it easy even though I had a Fast Lane band. By lunch time I was more dehydrated than I've ever been in my life and spent most of the afternoon and evening sitting in the shade instead of riding. Lesson learned, when I (hopefully) go this year I'll take it much more easy and enjoy the awesome park that much more for it!
