You're right Jake. From that point of view you could also say that Rita is a great coaster, the GP love it, AT were clever to cram it in where they couldn't fit much else, it's not themed but that doesn't matter according to some because all that matters is the GP love it.
Yeah that's right, think from the GP's point of view, and we'll all be sorted for life.

Alton towers has to account for the family. Alton towers must account for the children who the whole UG land theme is based on. Before Rita it had a lot of attractions for the family, so the Family needs to be entertained one way or another, otherwise the area would not appeal.
Alton towers has accounted for the family, Rita has it's own personality of UG land, and UG land has a nice family personality. It all matches in a ultimate feel. Who cares if it doesnt have matching theme, if it work it works. And that's why the GP love it.
Thorpe park is more flexible, teens can get there on there own by bus, and ride Stealth and the thrilling rides, and theming isn't essential. So the family aren't attracted to the area and go to another park like Chessington where theming is necessary. It's a obvious cheap short cut for Tussuad's.
I hope you catch what I mean.

Oh dear Bicko, I have to totally disagree.
There we go, we have a coaster that obviously doesn't go above the treeline more than few feet. It fits snugly in that corner.
Considering Ugland is full of chalky and earthy colours, well I'm afraid the colour of Rita's track and supports also fit in again.
Now let's consider Stealth.
Hmm... I wouldn't exactly call that inconspicuous and "fitting in".

Exactly Stealth is meant to stand out. It is the ultimate beast of the theme park, Teen's love it, because it works for them, if it stands out as a tall fast thrilling ride then it would add to there experience of thrill.
Alton towers can not make it stand out too much or it will make the area less appealing to the family.

Rita doesnt fit into Ugland surroundings. What on earth does a racing themed coaster have to do with Ugland? Nothing at all.
Stealth looks better in its location than what Rita does IMO.
I am not going to argue about it all night, I've got my opinion and you disagree, neither of us are going to change our opinions because of what were both posting.
So I'll leave you to continue bashing Stealth for the sake of it, cant be bothered to keep saying the same things over and over.

You go on about how crap Rita is in this topic as much as we go on about how bad Stealth is.
You then bash us for it.
You are therefore a hypocrite.
V No, I slate Stealth because it's a god awful hunk of crap. If I was so in love with Rita would there be coasters I prefer to her? Didn't think so...

Same here, its annoying that Ben feels the need to slate Stealth to death because he's in love with Rita and its also happening with Bicko-Rita.
There is a reason that the poll is very close, they're both average rides, neither of them are bad, but then neither of them are 'spectacular'.

We bash Stealth just like you bash Rita, thats what your brain can't seem to grasp.
You're being hypocritical for moaning about our Stealth bashing, when you do the exact same to Rita.

I actually see you moaning about Rita whenever the chance arises.
Oh really? So the fact that they can't build above tree height didn't come into it?
Both Stealth and Rita have nothing to do with the lands they were placed in. A racing ride placed in a tidal wave hit town, and a racing ride placed in a prehistoric land.
At least Rita - Queen of Speed connotes what the ride is about. Stealth certainly isn't stealth, nothing about the ride or it's atmosphere or it's soundtrack or it's layout suggests anything to do with Stealth. It's just there.

But the GP see these two rides as Spectacular.
- England's 2nd tallest and fastest roller coaster (remembering that most of the south have no knowledge what-so-ever about Blackpool)
- A great launch into the woods with an excellent terrain use. It raps around the path very well.
I can certainly say there is a wider variety of people who ride Rita than stealth, this is because it is less ferocious, Rita, could easily be a extreme ride and have big underground dips and bigger launches.
