Prepare for long rant about my home park :)
*Bring a bathing suit (will explain later)*
First off, do not go on a Saturday. However, if for some reason you do go on a Saturday then ERT on Top Gun and Scooby Doo is from 9-10. On weekdays it is from 9:30-10. Get there about 10 minutes before ERT and when arriving in the parking lot drive past the first wave of cars parked around to the back gate (just head for top gun). Make sure you ride Top Gun: The Jet Coaster many times (back and front you MUST ride at least once in the front seat) and Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion is fun too.
There is no need to go to the simulator since you've probably been to the one at PKI so hit the re-tracked Thunder Road. Make sure you try fowards in the back and very front, and backwards also, since this year it appears to be the better of the 2 tracks. In the area near Haunted Mansion there are 3 ways to go: into Animation Station, accross a bridge, and down a hill. Go down the hill. This will take you past the waterpark and past the Flying Super Saturator.
Go back to the Cyclone, Drop Zone, and Hurler and ride them. The Hurler for me is easily the second best coaster in the park. Make sure you ride in car 1 seat 2 as you will be floating the entire ride :). I guess you can ride Vortex although I don't like it that much myself.
Eat lunch at Wings, Casey's Grill, or the pasta shop at the front entrance (I recommend Wings for a couple reasons). If you eat at Wings you will be right beside the waterpark and the Super Saturator, which you should do next. So you don't like waterparks? That doesn't matter. Going on the Super Saturator in street clothes is an easy way to be miserable all day. Change into your swimsuit and ride the Super Saturator (believe me its worth the wait). If you have the time, I STRONGLY recommend riding the highest slides on Pipeline Peak. They really are great.
If you have time you can go to Animation Station and ride the ACE classic coaster Scooby Doo. If you spend the entire day at the park then make sure you try and ride Top Gun at night before you leave, preferably in the front seat. Enjoy your trip :)
