It varies a lot usually. I ride whatever's open & whatever I feel like going on. Sometimes I'll ride Cajun first, so I wouldn't have to wait in the long line later in the day.

Depending on what I feel like going to, sometimes S:UF, sometimes Demon, sometimes Raging Bull.

The smartest thing to do is ride Ragin Cajun first, so you don't have to wait in a long line when it's really hot outside.

But is usually doesn't open on time. 1. I usually go to Batman and V2 and then check Ragin' Cajun out and ride a couple of flats in the area. 2. I ride Superman, then Batman and V2. 3. Batman, V2, Iron Wolf, then back to Cajun.

I strongly reccomend not going to Cajun first but try to get there around 11:00-11:15.

I almost always hit V-2 when I get there when the park opens. I do this because usually I am like one of the only people in that area and usually get a walk on ride for V-2. Then we go to Batman usually. Then the rest of the day we just pick rides, not in any particular order.

We usually go to Superman or V2 first. For some reason, V2 always seems better when you haven't ridden any coasters before it. After those two, then it's BTR, then we usually work our way clockwise around the park.

if I get there at open, I'll hit everything in Southwest Territory, then I'll wander the park aimlessly looking for short and/or nonexistant lines, and riding flats(usually one in the same), as soon as lines show up, I usually leave the park til later on in the day.

Really only execeptions to that is I'll vary rarely ride Iron Wolf (get my 1-3 rides per yerar on that), Demon (maybe 3-4 times a year max), and V2 (I never ride((rides does nothing at all for me)) unless i'm with others, and even then I'll usually sit out and cool off in that arcade near the exit with the very strong and cooling AC vents on the celing) :)

It's always a dead sprint to Raging Bull in the morning for me, and whoever decides to make the mistake of coming with me. (Usually the same person.)

Surprisingly I've only had 3 races so far this year (Yes, depressing, but I havn't been getting there at opening for odd reasons.)

3 Races
3 First Place victories.
Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2
Coaster Count: 444

I'll take you whats your 400 yard dash time :wink. Sadly the closest I have EVER been there to opening is 10:05 and this is comming from someone who has been to the park 150+ times at the least.

Hehe, I quit track in 8th grade, and I was a distance runner.

Any idea how long it is to Raging Bull from the chains? I'd prolly say around 350/400 meters would be correct.

Probally I'm a distance runner/sprinter, I'll race you either in September or October this year when I get my license and can and actually arrive before the park opens. Or next year if my parents don't end up letting me get it, but its on wOOdland its on :).

I start off with D Vu at the begining of the day (when it's open) and before I used to ride it about three times before it started getting really packed. The other option is to be on the other side with V2 and BTR.

My very stupid this year decision was riding SUF first (when D Vu was closed). It's at the front of the park, and because of that it gets pretty packed fast.

Go Deja Vu, then both sides of AE, because it will be totally empty til about 11:30. Then Iron Wolf, work my way down to SUF, hit Raging Bull and Viper in the afternoon. Even though they have the longer lines then, they move really fast, so I dont mind. Only problem with this plan is you get to SUF too soon.

What do you mean by too soon?

When I get there at opening I ALWAYS do Bull first. I don't know why, it's just tradition I guess ;-). One of these times I'll mix it up and go somewhere else.

What I mean by too soon is that if I get there before 12 or so, lots of people are still going to it, because thats the first thing the see and etx.

I'll go to Deja Vu, Cajun, or Bull. Although the too soon theory is correct for some rides, for ones like DV and RC, the line will only build.
