With the 2015 ERT coming to an end, what rides would you like to see be featured as part of the 2016 line-up. Personally I'd like it to be Dark Forest and Cbeebies Land, but I'd imagine it'll be similar to this and previous years! Discuss! :D

Dark forest would b good as it can get quite busy during the day so if you could ride before park opens it would b great

Unlikely, but maybe it would be a good idea to bring The Smiler to ERT to cut the queues when it reopens? Plus, if it operates for longer without any issues it might convince people it is in fact 100% safe :)

As CBeebies land will most likely be part of the line up, they may as well include Sonic Spinball, to cut the opening time 'rush' which guarantee the queue to excess 45/60 mins within about 30 mins of park opening.

Air won't be on because of its enhancements so I'd expect Nemesis & Oblivion or The Smiler & Oblivion with CBeebies Land & RMT.

I reckon Oblivion, Nemesis, RMT, CBeebies Land and Sharkbait Reef sounds reasonable.

Only problem with that is time, takes a longish time to walk to nemesis, and I can't imagine they'd isolate it. IF, and that's a very big if the blade is still here, I'd imagine that on it, or air along with nemesis so you don't walk so far for one ride.

I'm betting Oblivion, Nemesis and all the family rides they currently have on ERT.

ERT section of the website confims they're intent with going ahead with ERT in 2016 with the lineup to be revealed soon.

I wonder if the Smiler will get queues forming from 9am during ERT.

If they want bragging rights on opening day that they rode it first then sure but I doubt its going be that busy on The Smiler people would willingly waste an hour queuing during ERT waiting for 10am.

I think Dark Forest should be on ERT because Rita, Th13teen are two really good rides! Also, Oblivion should be on ERT!

So because you think they are good rides they should be on it?... Ok
Maybe they aren't onit because they are the most expensive coasters in the park to run...

I actually like that. By the time I get through the turnstiles and into FV its already a chunk of the hour gone already. Not too far to X-Sector, plus then can pop on Smiler from riding Oblivion over and over.

Am I to understand its only Spinball from 9:30am or all three?
