My first ever ride on Rita, back in early 2010 (I absolutely hated it)

A different story nowadays :)

My Rita ORP is truly hilarious. My Dad looks like he is pooping himself whilst I look like I am peeing myself - but I actually did.... :oops: I will get that posted soon.
I live, breath and sleep Alton Towers.

I also produce the funniest ORP's in the planet!

Wuv yoooooooo <3

There are a fair few I recall, but this one always makes me chuckle. How on earth did Arrr Beatrix manage to smuggle Stokywolf onto the ride? Shocking stuff!

And this from Sunday, torrential rain + oblivion  :lol: my poncho didn't keep me dry as I didn't realise that I had it caught up in the buckle! Also my face always looks red on the oblivion photos, even though it isn't!

The Swarm has seatbelts :O
Most over-head restraint car has to so the ride host knows if the over-head harness will click in place, if the seatbelt doesn't fit in place then the harness won't lock into place  ;)

Not true! A harness can be sufficiently locked in place, and the seatbelt still not fit. Depends on the length of the seatbelt, and the individual dimensions of the passenger. But hosts/ops certainly wouldn't rely on that to tell if a harness is locked or not. ;) Seatbelts form an attachment between the restraint and the seat which is reassuring to the passenger.

It's actually supposed to be a second line of defence if for whatever reason the locking mechanism breaks whilst the ride is in motion.  (Even though it's physically impossible for the locking mechanisms to break)
