Hello All! This will be my first year as a Gold Member, and I'm curious what to expect when I arrive at the park for ERT. I will be in the parking lot at about 9:00am. On an ordinary Saturday, how many trips on The Beast, Diamondback can I expect? I will be a single rider if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any help. See you at the park on Saturday morning!

Dkeysor42 - it is great to hear you are going to take advantage of your gold pass perk by the way of ERTs. Please keep in mind that the park can change what rides that will be avlialible for ERT at any time per their disgretion. Just enter the park as normal and look for the Gold Pass early entry gate usually to the right of the fountian. Then proceed to that days ERT ride, if they have a single rider line open you can see if itmay get you through faster. The amount of rides during the ERT depends on the crowd size. Have a great time!

For example from what Jesse said...today, tomorrow, and Sunday Diamondback and Beast will run for ERT.

Vortex and WindSeeker are listed as the normal rides, when WindSeeker does open.

Hope this helps.

And as always, the ride selection list on the park`s website is still subject to change. Mechanical or weather reasons can force the cancellation of early ride times on some attractions.

Like others have said, it really depends on the crowds. I have actually found Sundays to be my favorite day for ERT as the crowds are almost always significantly lighter then Fridays and Saturdays.

Yes, this weekend we have ERT on Diamondback and The Beast because WindSeeker will not be open. However, this season the park will normally be operating WindSeeker and Vortex for ERT.

Remember that Saturday is the only day for hour long ERT. Every other day has ERT for only a half an hour.

Welcome to KIC dkeysor42! In the past 2 seasons with DB and Beast ERT I would usually ride DB about 5 or 6 times on Friday's 30 min ERT before the GP made it to the queue. If it was a little busier it would be 4 times. Hope this answers your question!

Last two years I go almost every Saturday...too bad when they take DB away from us, but you should be able to get 10-15 rides unless there is an unusual amount of people in the park...
