 so we posted some interesting news on Instagram and our social medias just reporting on the fact that Dragonfire has been removed from the ERT list at Canada's Wonderland and for those of you we got so many messages I always forget that a lot of my audience is general public and not enthusiast as my channel doesn't really cater to coaster enthusiasts but yeah so ERT is early ride time so Dragonfire has been removed from the Leviathan slot and no longer has any early ride times for the 2020 season and a lot of you have been asking me what does that mean what does that mean we've been getting DMs non-stop on our social media platforms asking what does this mean what did you mean by ERT what is ERT is Dragonfire being removed so I was like you know what I'm just gonna sum it up in one video and talk about all the possibilities that this could mean and all the possibilities that it absolutely doesn't mean and yeah so let's get it started so why is Dragonfire removed from the ERT list well we don't know no one knows you can't really jump to a really big conclusion I can't come here and be like oh it's gonna be removed for the 2021 season no no absolutely not we can't sit here and say that's going to be a for sure option to be honest if I was to look at this as a business perspective the most likely option as to why Dragonfire was removed was probably low ridership numbers Dragonfire probably had low ridership numbers probably especially during the ERT times during Leviathan's ERT last season Dragonfire probably had walk-on it's not enough people not just not enough people to justify opening up the coaster and running it for an hour early you have to remember an hour early X amount of times a season is adding X amount of dollars to the maintenance budget X amount of strain X amount of wear and tear so it just might make more sense to not run Dragonfire for ERT and that is probably the most likely option as to why Dragonfire was removed from the ERT I noticed that flight deck is also the only other coaster one of the only other major coasters in the park that is also not on ERT so you have Dragonfire and flight deck not on ERT and then the bat and the funny thing about those types of coasters actually I think vortex is not on ERT either yeah so it what's funny about those coasters if you look at them as a whole they're older coasters and they're kind of very precious and sensitive to maintain so that kind of makes sense the more that I think about it now you have vortex flight deck Dragonfire and the bat who were those rides are not on ERT so yeah it kind of makes sense but nonetheless again that's probably the most likely option I mean maybe on a very slim chance Dragonfire this could be an early sign I do know that flight deck in Dragonfire have some of the largest declining ridership numbers in the park I am working on a video for my estimates and my my rankings of riderships for the rides at Canada's Wonderland so that should be coming out soon so you guys get a better idea it is just an estimate for the ridership numbers at Canada's Wonderland but I have a feeling it's pretty close estimate for the ridership numbers but yeah I mean a very small chance that Dragonfire was removed from ERT because the ridership numbers are declining so much I already know they are flight decking Dragonfire again and maybe two to three years from now that ride will be removed but again slim chance the most likely option is definitely just maintenance and wear and tear and yeah I just wanted to answer this question for you guys because again our DMs were popping I think we got over like 50 messages asking what ERT was and what does that mean it being removed from ERT so hopefully this helped answer anyone's questions feel free to comment down below if you think either flight deck or Dragonfire is going to be removed first at Canada's Wonderland this is getting interesting it's like the battle of the old rides what's gonna be removed first where's it gonna be the bat even I mean the bats pretty high up on that list to the bat dragonfire or flight deck anyways hope you enjoyed this video don't forget to leave a like comment down below and subscribe if you haven't thanks so much for watching guys bye
