Make sure you ride my favorite flat ride - The Cajun Cliffhanger - if it's open that is. I absolutely love this ride.

The Cajun Cliffhanger is closed for this year. It will not be open.

The Raging Bull #1!!
The key is to be there at 9:30am and rush to RB when they drop the rope at 10:00am. After RB, ride Viper, Giant Drop, American Eagle and whatever else you want. The park does not usually get crowded until noon. I can normally ride most or all the coasters between 10 and noon. Frequently Iron Wolf does not open until noon. Enjoy

Since you're from Ohio, you have SUE, so you could skip V2(if it's open). There's no other Deja Vu remotely close, so hit that(again if it's open). Batman the ride is a MUST if youve never been on one before. It is the original(not a clone people!!) and most of the time considered the best. You absolutely cant ride Raging Bull without taking a spin in the back! Actually, there's no coasters I would not recommend riding. They're so different than the rides in the Ohio parks.
In order:
Raging Bull, V2 (if open), whatever the boom is called, Batman, Viper, AE (backwards, if there), Whizzer.
Whizzer's a cool little ride.
Try to find a girl to ride with...
It has not yet been stressed to RIDE IN THE BACK ON VIPER!! That ride is an airtime machine in the back, in the front and the middle it isn't nearly as good. Same for Bull!
I would give Wolf priority over Shockwave because of historical value (first B&M), and Batman is not only a great invert but the world's first invert, so I'd make sure you hit it for those 2 reasons. In my opinion, your lowest priority should be Demon.
Hmm...SFGAm in 6 hours? Well you've got 12 coasters. Let's take off V², since you've got SUE. Sprocket's Rockets...off. American Eagle might not be opening both sides, so let's cut it to 9. When you step in the gate, ther'll be....6 coasters on your right, and 3 on your left. I recommend going right. Whizzer probably won't be open until the afternoon, so head in to SW Territory, hitting RB first, outer seat, 9th row. Trust me on that one. Viper is just a quick jog South...well actually North, but if you're looking at the park map it's down. One of the last 3 rows should be the place to be. Heading into County Fair, hit Deja Vu, and maybe if it has a short line try for Demon's back end of the train. Otherwise hit it later. The park is in a big circle, so just keep walking strait, and you'll have hit them all. Hopefully you'll have enough time for the Whizzer and re-rides at the end.

Bull Fan is right, take the back seat on Viper and Raging Bull! It's a must. Those two coasters in the back are sweet. They provide major airtime and whip you around more (Which I like). The front seats are totally overrated, so don't wait for the front, it's a complete waste of time. :)

Don't sleeep on the ejector seat on Viper(row 3)!! It usually has a short line also.
I agre, the best seat on Viper is row 1.3, better than the back. Not to say that the back is bad, it's fantastic actually, but 1.3 is really amazing.
But for the Bull, it's all about the back. :)

"No listenin', you hear me?"
1:3? OK, I'll give it a go next time I'm there. I think I've heard this about another wood with PTC's also, but can't remember which. Does this 1:3 with ejector air hold true to other wooden coasters built for airtime or is it just Viper? (sorry for getting a little of topic)
