What coaster do you guys like to start the day off on? For me, Im not too big on lines, so I go to Batman and V2 first and make my way around the park by going to AE then Demon, etc. So Id love to hear where you head first.
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!

All depends on if the park looks crowded.
usually batman for 4 or 5 rides, then usually V2, or something like that. But in terms of coasters, I think I started the day on almost all of them for one reason or another.
Bull is always crowded in the beginning of the day as well.
Whenever I vist the park, I always get there before opening to take advantage of the short lines. I always start my day with Superman first. Even though it's kind of a dull ride, there's nothing like feeling a couple of good G's from that pretzal loop to get the day started!!! After Superman, I usually get some re-rides on both Batman and V2 a few times before hitting AE, Demon, etc.
Never once have I started my day off with Bull. I usually wait to ride it latter in the day once they add the 3rd train. That way the line is shorter and moves faster.
Remember the low capacity rides like RC and Dark Knight if you like to ride them are best done early. RC is nice with that single rider line. You should start with either Superman or Raging Bull. Even though Bull is high capacity, once those lines start they do not end. I'd go for Superman followed by Batman/V2 and around the way over to Eagle, Demon, Bull, Giant Drop, etc. Or the other way around. All will change next season with XF.
Good Topic. I like the whole Batman and V2 area to start my day. If it is your first time at the park i suggust RC, TDK, S:UF and V2 be your first rides. There all pretty close together.
The last time I was there, me and my group did S:UF first. We remembered the last time, we did it last or close to last cause the line was long and were underwhelmed. It's a lot more fun when it is the first in the day cause it's fresh. Then it's TDK cause it's right next door. The rest of the day usually goes with the wind.
I don't want to give away secrets, but making S:UF the first ride of the day makes it worth it. Once you've ridden BTR, Bull, and V2 it seems tame.
Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.
^ That was what i would usuallly do. Id start of with viper and make my way around that way. Today im headin to the park and im expecting a large crowd so ill probably do Superman and then Batman/V2.
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!

My opinion for trying to ride all the coasters in one day as fast as possible, would be to go on Ragin Cajun first, than Batman the Ride, than V2, Little Dipper is next, I don't know why anyone would want to ride Spacely's, skip American Eagle for now. Than, go to Raging Bull, and than Viper. The reason to me why I think that Raging Bull doesn't need to be first is because some of the coasters are much less in capacity. Raging Bull can have up to 3 trains with 36 people riding, but the Little Dipper is only up to 16 people at most (but you know some adults only go in some cars), and 1 train.
Whizzer you could wait till mid-day because they might even put a 3rd train on it later, so that's not something you have to ride right away. Demon, for me at least is one of the lesser popular rides so that's okay for mid-day too. Superman, I would wait till later at night, and Dark Knight, I guess later at night, but you are going to have to wait some chunk of time for something if you want to do them all. And even if you get on Dark Knight close to the beginning, it eats up time unless you are very first in line, so thus I say to start at Ragin Cajun instead of Dark Knight.

I tend not to plan my course through the park when I get there, yet almost always I wind up going left and thus V2 is my first ride, since Superman is usually packed. Most people in my position head to Batman, so you can get a few rides on V2 before crowds, then head to Batman for a short wait of a cycle or two. If I do happen to go right it's usually Raging Bull or if it the line looks inviting, Whizzer.
I don't start on the same thing every trip, but I usually like to start the day on Superman because I will never wait no more than about 20 minutes for it, and it is a fun way to start the day. In order to have the most effecient day possible, it is always best to start on the east side of the park because all the low capacity rides like Ragin Cajun and V2 are here. All the high capacity rides are on the park's west end like Raging Bull, Demon, and the Whizzer, so you can wait for those.
first GP rider of the season: Batman the Ride (2011) first GP rider of the season: Iron Wolf (2011) (almost a solo ride) last GP train of iron wolf's existence at GAM (front row) last GP person off Wolf's station /brag
I'm at the park a lot with my family. And every time we go, we start off with the Whizzer side of the park and make our way around. That's just how we have always done it and always finished the park on time. I remember once, we started the opposite way with Superman, and we weren't even Southwest Territory when the park closed... So we now stick with Whizzer as a starter.
Personally, I go to Bull first...then try to go to V2 since only one train makes lines get long fast. Then after that, Probably AE and then whatever looks open and whatever has short waits. Next year, Bull will be 2nd while X-Flight will be first. OMG can we all imagine how crowded and how long the wait is gonna be???????!!!!!! Jeebus!!!!
