My plan is usually the opposite of that first one. I have been to BGW 4 times and this plan has worked well:
-head to Apollo's Chariot upon opening
-Work way around park going by BBW, Alpie, then Loch Ness.
-I have taken the stairs ONCE. Legs=jelly lol
-Ride AC at night :)
Sorry for not giving many tips but im tired.
