In the early entrance how many rides do you get in?

I was wondering how many rides do you generally get in on early entrance?

We are going for 3 days so we think that we should do Raptor one day, MF next, Maverick the next.

We are staying at Breakers Express, how do you get to enter by the Magnum like people who stay at Breakers do?

You can enter by parking in the Gemini/Soak City lot.

Yes you get to enter the SC lot. When you check in the person who checks you in will give you a CP Resort Guest ID card when you get to the gate for ERT they will ask you to show this card. If you have more than one person in your group than they can all get in under this card.

On the ride thing it's just a matter of if you want to run or not.
On the first day of my trip up there I sprinted to Maverick from the SC lot and was on the first train. Then brisk walked to Millie and was off of it by 9:30 and off my second ride of Millie by around 10:15.

The second day I brisk walked to Maverick when ERT started from the SC lot was on in about 20 min and then when to Millie and was off that by 10:15 (after waiting for the front seat).

It all depends on you preferance. Other than that you may want to make sure you do hit Raptor on ERT on morning because when I was there both days the line seemed to be around and hour plus untill about six or seven PM.

On our last trip at the end of May (Memorial Day) I got on Maverick after a 40 minute wait (everybody on the ride during the first hour, including me, ran from the soak city gate straight to Maverick) and then got in line for MF at about 9:50. I got another ride in on MF after that and was off by about 10:30am.

I would take at least one day and go in the Marina Entrance (Where do you park to enter there anyways?) and do an early entry MF marathon. On the day that I was there I bet I could have got 4-5 rides on MF during that hour if I would have saved Maverick for later and went straight to MF from the Marina Entrance.

Also watch for rides that aren't on early entry to open early. You could get some walk-on rides if you notice a ride just opening around 9:30am. I would also recommend Skyhawk at the end of the day. I believe that it is usually walk-on for the last hour or so.

Enjoy your trip! Three days should be plenty of time to ride all of the major rides multiple times.

Last year, our mantra was "2 top thrills and a millennium before the GP." On light days, it's entirely possible to get on one of the first trains (of either), run around and get on again, and still be able to do either of them a couple more times before the crowds get really heavy.

Haven't been there too much this year yet, but I've been hearing that Maverick's a really good one to hit in the morning.

Just park in the regular lot and walk back to the marina entrance.

You can't get in the marina lot next to Blue Streak without an interrogation from the security guard. They quickly make you turn around.

NEVER park in the marina lot next to MF. They ticket EVERYONE that isn't marina or marina guest. We watch security do this every weekend. CP employees that park there are notified and have to come move their vehicle. I'm sure that their supervisors love that!
