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!

No fancy title today, I love the name of this coaster and want to showcase it. I rode this last year before the big retrack and I left impressed. It's such a fun, intense coaster that fits in perfectly with the rest of B&M's early inverts (the pinnacle of their catalog). Yeah that sounds a little pretentious but it's the truth! Can't wait to see the reviews coming out from the park for the retrack!

Get ready for a little run of Alton Towers photos! I'm just now getting to my trip from last year. I'm of the opinion that Smiler is better to look at than to ride. I took one ride on it and that was enough for me. There are so many inversions that they all kind of blend together and I think I like coasters with a little bit more defined elements and room to breath. It looks great though!
