Indeed it is; I won't comment too much as I've never actually got out of bed early enough for ERT really but if I was a non-regular visitor I think I'd be a little miffed if I'd got there early specially for ERT only to discover that the two coasters are the two which generally have the shortest / fastest moving queues throughout the rest of the day.

I'd like to have seen Rita or Galactica make an appearance.
 
Unfortunately, we're never going to see Galatica on ERT until it reverts to a non-VR coaster. The staffing costs are absurd.
 
I'd rather have Forbidden Valley and X Sector open for ERT then have X Sector sacrificed in place of Dark Forest, just for the sake of the skyride.
 
It's not like it's anything new either really, how many years have both Nemmie and Blivvy been on ERT together?

That's the trouble with this VR fad, normally technology negates staffing positions, rather than adding them. Personally I'll forgo the VR and get the same staff to run alongside the track holding cardboard cutout planets... way more entertaining!

That would be amazing!! If they could spin the portal as well, I'm all up for this change. :D

I still think by the end of this season there will be H&S signs everywhere and we'll be required to clean our own screens. Leaving it up to us if we want conjunctivitis or not.
 
It would until one of the guests decides to eat one. Too much could go wrong when relying on people in a H&S conscious park. Its why we can't have nice things.
 
Then you have the issue of guests dropping them on the station floor or holding onto them and throwing wet wipes mid-ride. I don't fancy walking through an area littered with wet wipes.

As slow as the current system is, it's the best they can do really.
 
I didn't go last year - is there a big issue with the cleanliness of the goggles?
 
This years the first year I''ll be able to have ert

What kind of que can I expect at the smiler on a weekend just before the ride and main gates open at 10?

Sorry for the lame question my daughter has just reached 1.4 and is really looking forward to riding it
