You will want to ride Demon on 6:1 Right.
Keep your head against the ride of the restraint and all will be well.

Do not ride Eagle in back, it's not that great.
Your best bet is 4:1 or Front.

Viper you want 1:3 or Back.

Everything else is pretty much Front or Back.

Thanks again for all that feed back, so what Im hearing is get to the park early before the gates opens. When gates hit up Deja Vu, if its open or wait till it is. Does GA let you bring hats and fannie packs on, or are they forbidden. Holiday World doesn't let bring that stuff on. Well im leaving today, I've made notes about what rides to hit early and late. Thanks again!!

about the hats, i was able to wear it on a roller coaster
and then i just held on to it for the rest of the ride.
the only person who wouldnt let me hold it was some dude
working at the demon. where i had to put my hat underneath my shirt
for some odd reason.
i've seen people been asked to put fannie packs in the bin.

Wow, go and do the two lower profile coasters first? :lol: There is nothing against your opinion, but you just dont go to IW or AE first. You either go SU:F, D Vu, or RB first. Those are the higher profile coasters in the park. Also, D Vu would probably be best to go first because the line moves the slowest.

What are you talking about? A ton of people love RB and think it's the best ride in the park.

/\ That is the way I did it in 2004, but then changed after realizing how much better the West side of the park is better than the East, I only LIKE BTR on the east.

Wow I have 2 letters for this.

Good coasters to ride (and other tips about them):

Raging Bull (whenever, look for a short line, but make sure you get on it),
Batman (at night, it's 10 times better),
Deja Vu (as early as possible),
V2 (when you find a short line)
American Eagle (whenever the line look shortest),
Viper (anytime).

Sucky Rides not worth waiting for (in my opinoin): Superman, Splashwater Falls, River Rocker, Hometown Fun Machine, Jesters Wild Ride, Big Easy Balloons, and Ragin Cajun.

Good Food (in the park): Cheese fries, funnel cakes, Firehouse Pizza, Mooseburger Lodge, Crazy Buffalo Saloon.

Good Food Outside the Park: Cracker Barrel, Joe's Crab Shack, Olive Garden , Outback.

I might as well say the "Good" rides or attractions to ride or see in my opinion:

Deja Vu (morning)
V2
Iron Wolf (Anytime, it really doesn't matter)
Demon (at night or morning)
Superman
Batman (After 5 or 6)
Giant Drop (when the line is 5 minutes or less) It happens all the time. Nevermind. :lol:
Big Easy Balloons
Whirligig (always get on in one wait or less)
Fiddler's Fling
Space Shuttle America (It isn't that crowded.)
Animal Show in Southwest Territory (Southwest Territory Ampitheater)
Hometown Fun Machine
Ricochet
The Orbit
The teal and yellow slide at Hurricane Harbor that are with the six slide complex.
All the 4 slides in the Hurricane Mountain complex towards the very back of the park
The orange and purple family raft slide.
Castaway Creek (Lazy River)
Roaring Rapids
Rue Le Dodge
Sky Trek Tower
Condor
Chubasco
Triple Play (Not open this year)

"Good" rides or attractions that are on the OKAY side:
Pictorium (Marvin Marsian Cartoon)
The Green and Blue Family raft slide
Splash Water Falls
Columbia Carousel
East River Crawler (When I get the cars spinning, I really like this ride. When I don't, it doesn't do anything for me. :cry:)

Rides that just BORE me to death:

King Chaos
Revolution The Ride
Trailblazer
Raging Bull
River Rocker
Jester's Wild Ride
Scenic Railway (unless Fright Fest)
Great American Raceway
Whizzer
Viper
American Eagle

Rides that are just BAD to me:
Ragin Cajun
Logger's Run
Yankee Clipper
The Bowl Slides in Hurricane Harbor (Green and Pink ones)

Restaurants outside the park I like are:

Red Lobster
Olive Garden
Pizza Hut
Mcdonald's
Burger King
Rainforest Cafe (in mall)
Taco Bell
KFC and Long John Silver's
Lone Star
