Escape from the Dark Forest: Rita’s Mysterious Origins
Did you know that Rita wasn’t always a rollercoaster? Originally a disused race track, it was brought back to life during excavation work in the Dark Forest. Little did anyone know, the excavation disrupted a dark and overpowering force that had been lurking beneath the surface for centuries, consuming everything in its path. As the force stirred, Rita was reborn, rising from the ashes of the forgotten race track to help thrill-seekers escape the Dark Forest’s sinister grip. Now, as you race through the twisted woods, Rita is your lifeline, your only chance to break free from the ancient power that controls the forest.
Fun Fact! – Rita is the only one of the Big 6 to not have a secret weapon codename!
