Here's a few good tips -
- First go during the week, I went on monday and it wasn't too bad.
- For Storm Runner, it will probably have about a 45min line and I would say go on it first that way once your done you can judge what other rides you have time for.
- Ride Sooperdooperlooper as much as you want because there is hardly any line.
- Ride the Comet like once because there usually is a line since it's near the park enterance
- Ride Great Bear at night, it's so cool
That's all I can think of for now.

Im going on a Wednsday, so it should be pretty fine as far as lines are concerned. Thanks for the andvice Animan, I was sorta undecided on that one. It doesn't look very fun, kinda boring actually.

No, I think the kissing tower is more extreme.

Definately hit Storm Runner first, as it will have the longest lines. Then ride Sidewinder, and head towards the back of the park (Midway America). There you can ride Lightning Racer, Wildcat, any flats, and Roller Soaker if you really want to. It should be around lunch then. From there, just head towards the front hitting whatever rides there are. I recomend going to the Trailblazer, then to the Great Bear, SooperDooperLooper, and then the Comet. The lines for Storm Runner are usually around 20-30 minutes if both sides are running, 10-15 for Great Bear, and 20 for the Comet. Every other coaster should be a walk on and the other rides should have short waits except the Claw which is around 10-20 minutes. Just go and have a great time.

Seriously. You'll never see me more scared than when I'm on a tower ride. Tower rides, especially S&S Tower rides, scare me to death, which of course makes it more fun. It's not something I can help, I just get really uncomfortable in high open places. Fpr some reason this doesn'y apply on coasters

It's OK, there are alot of folks like that (not me though ). I would suggest staying away from the Big Wheel then, not only is it high, but you can also spin the cars.
I would do the park as 3r1c suggested. The Comet will have shorter lines mid-afternoon, though the lines are always long early in the day, and later at night.
Also, expect to wait a while for the Frontier Flyers, which have a very long loading time.

Thanks. I was thinking about doing the rides in about that order.
