Push to leave a little earlier. It'll be worth it.

^For you two. Go to Kingda Ka first, if you get there right at the opening, you might be able to get on in half to a full hour. Then I would probably go to GL, Superman, and Toro in that order. Also try to get on Batman either in the morning or evening, a lot of its queue is indoors and you will pretty much get cooked in there. After that, it's your call. Nitro & Bizzaro have had pretty nice waits under an hour anytime we went to them. Also try to work in at least another ride on KK, Nito, & Toro, they're the best rides there ;).

Ride Time Warp for the credit, then never again. But really, ride everything at least once, especially with your coaster count. For you, just get the experience.

^^I was there last week. It was a thursday, and all rides were walkons. Even Behemoth. But yes, just try to boost your coaster count. Ride everything once, and then Hop on Behemoth for a few circuits.

I am unsure on what day I'm going to SFMM, but I want to know what the best plan is to get the most rides on the best coasters there. I know August is the busiest season so I need your help. (steel, any advice?)

Just wondering, any reason for the park change? Because it's closer?

For great america I usually start at Raging Bull, its best in the front or back row, and then go to Viper right after I get off. Ride Viper in the back car and you get good airtime over all of the hills. Then pick a side and start to go down towards the front of the park. The lines this year havent been very long, especialy when the water park is open. So if you dont plan to go to the water park do the rides like Superman, Batman, and V2 while itis open. For some reason on batman people will forget about the very last row so look there if you dont ride in the front which is by far the best. Those usually have the longest and slowest moving lines. So you wait a long time for all 3. Raging Bull will always have a long line but it eats people so it moves fast. For some reason dark knight always has a long line and you spend most of that not moving inside a metal tube. Its just about the only ride you relly dont have to go on. Iron Wolf never has line. It is kind of painful, but you might want to go on since this might be its last year. Whizzer is a lot of fun but has a long line since all of the families love it. The line is usually shortest around lunch. Demon has a median wait most of the time. I will be going monday. I'll try to type up a trip report when I get back.

^^When I went on a Monday the lines wern't that long. Ask ~stεεlspectrum~, he'll know.

^Letr me tell ou something: that was goo info a few days ago, not today. Raging Bull was the first thing I did, but after that, my route was completely different. ;)

This was the thread that would of be helpful few days ago... the line where horrible there... even a kiddie coaster line...

^V2 was an hour, Batman's looked long (and I ran out of time so I didn't get to ride it), and Superman's line was two hours. The watermark rides line started at the bottom of them (even Skull Island's)!

EDIT: Can I come? :D
