What rollercoaster, next to Drachen Fire, was opened in 1984?
Drachen Fire Drachen Fire was a steel roller coaster located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Operating from 1992 until 1998, the roller coaster was manufactured by Arrow Dynamics. It featured electric-blue track and silver supports, and was located in the Oktoberfest portion of the park, behind the Big Bad Wolf and Das Festhaus. The tagline for the ride was "Feel the Heat." The ride had three separate trains, featuring seven cars each, with each car holding passengers arranged two by two. The cars were red, with grey seats, and featured red trim lights illuminated the trains at night. Upon opening, the ride featured a 150 foot tall lift hill, six inversions, and a zero-gravity camel-back hump element. The ride was shut down in the middle of the 1998 season following a history of low ridership, and complaints of roughness.
Rita (roller coaster) Rita (formerly known as Rita: Queen of Speed) is an Intamin accelerator coaster located in the Dark Forest area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire Moorlands, England. Open since 2005, it accelerates to 65 mph in 2.2 seconds. The ride is loosely based on drag racing, though this partly changed with the retheming of "Ug Land" into the "Dark Forest" in 2010. It now stands as an abandoned drag racer that is used as the escape cart to escape the Dark Forest. Riders must be over 1.4 m tall to ride. In 2006, a similar coaster opened at Thorpe Park, called Stealth which accelerates faster at 80 mph in 2.3 seconds.
