What will we see in next year's line up, or will it be scrapped. Put your opinions and thoughts in this thread.

Well I definitely hope it won't be scrapped! Haha. It's one of my favourite perks of staying at the hotel. I think that it will be pretty much similar to previous years: Air, Nemesis, RMT and maybe Oblivion? I'd love to see Sonic Spinball or The Smiler but I think that's very wishful thinking! =;

I think an absolute must is Sonic Spinball. It gets such long queues all day so it would just make sense to add it to the line up as it would please children and adults alike.

The Smiler was on ERT this year for a month or so, and I think it worked very well and did help keep the queues down later on in the day so think that would be a good choice also.

As long as Nemmy's on it, I'm happy. As previously mentioned, The Smiler and Sonic would also be good logistically to keep down the queues, and I'd also be happy to see RMT as well.

I'm predicting Nemesis, Mine Train, Duel, Blade and CBeebies Land will be on the line-up. It would be really good to put The Smiler on like other people have said. That way at you will have already done it and won't have to queue for ages later in the day.

That line up is ideal if you have younger kids. As for Thrills, Nemesis and Air are always good, but its kind of disappointing that there isn't really much for older 'kids'.

It's a good line up, bit I feel Oblivion should be there because, after all, it made it massively more convenient in terms of getting into X sector. Also, it saved you queuing behind all the people coming off the Smiler.

Not a bad line up, but as Dom said above there isnt much for thrill seekers. I would have thought they would have had at least Oblivion or the Smiler on it, even Sonic. But having duel not on it surprised me, but in a way its not really needed as it never gets a queue anyway.

If I'm not mistaken, that's been on the website since last year. I image it'll still be the ERT line-up, but I wouldn't be 100% definite yet.

I don't think its too bad actually. Definitely keeps you to one half of the park though.

As well as this, it does say in the terms and conditions that the rides will change on they may open xsector instead of forbidden valley. What ever happens I don't mind it gives me a chance to ride Air which I don't usually do because of the big queues.

It appears they have removed the line-up from that page, sorry.

The exact ERT line up hasn't yet been confirmed by the resort for the new season. Usually it's announced shortly after February Half Term in time for the theme park re-opening in March. I would expect the line up to be similar to previously with it most likely being CBeebies Land, Nemesis, RMT, Duel, plus a couple of others depending on whether the park want to keep the rides open to one side of the park.
