Rita Rita has also succumb to vines of the forest but she still manages to launch riders from 0-100km/ph in 2.5 seconds in an attempt to escape its grasp.

Th13teen Located in an unexplored area of woodland the majority of the site is hidden from spectator view. After a short somewhat lame section of track through the woodland the highlight of the ride takes place within a Crypt. As you enter the crypt you are plunged into darkness, there are a few air blasts and effects the track then drops horizontally a short distance before dropping again into the level below, here you are launched backwards through a tunnel before being launched forwards back into the station. Th13teen was promoted as the ultimate theme park thrill ride, every ride you have ever dreamed of in one. After riding it some may beg to differ.
