Both times I've gone to the point this year, I ride in the morning, ride every other coaster, ride MF again, ride the major coasters again (1 or 2 more times), then grab a night ride on Magnum or Raptor, and hopefully have a long enough line to ride MF at late late night, really late night if the park closes at midnight.(lines don't close until the park closes).
If you follow this schedule, don't bother with TTR. This only reason I'd get in line for TTR is to get one of the tickets for a souvenir.
To get the best ride, shoot for 1-1 of course, that's not likely, so try to get 5-1 instead. All I can say is to try to get space between you and the lapbar. The more space the better. If you get a lot of space between the lapbar and yourself, trust me you will have the best ride EVER, especially since it's your first ride. I can't tell you a metod of doing this, because this post would probably be deleted. Just try to have the ride ops not staple you in the seat.
