Ride recommendations and lines

Hey could someone list a good set of warm-up rides to go on before taking on the big rides such as TTD and the Millenium Force? Is Wicked Twister a warm-up ride??

Also I'd like to know the general waiting periods for the rides from the shortest to the longest. Any replys would be appreciated

Some good warm up rides are Wild Cat, Iron Dragon, Corkscrew, Demon Drop, and then Gemini. The Wicked Twister is considered a warm up ride to some but i dont consider it one. The flat rides are always good to get you into the coaster mood, you could also consider Mean Streak kind of Warm up but the bigger coasters you should ride the bigger ones in this order, Wicked Twister(unless you already did), Mean Streak, Magnum, Mantis, Raptor, Millennium Force, and then Top Thrill Dragster(if its open)Hit up Power Tower before Millennium Force if you want.

Depending on what you want, I think you get the most out of a big ride without "warming up". For example, riding Dragster on opening day was amazing not only because it's a crazy ride, but it was the first roller coaster I had ridden since October. About the lines, I think you get the best ride for your wait in Magnum, because it's never over 45 minutes, and usually less than 30. Also, Raptor usually has a decent line, but it has the fastest moving line in the park, so you probably won't wait much more than an hour. PT generally has a short line (especially the space shot), and WT is never bad. On the long line side, MF, Mantis, and TTD usually have pretty good size waits. I'd suggest grabbing a freeway pass for Mantis and MF so you can either get multiple rides of these in or so you don't spend a decent chunk of your day in line for them, although MF's line is worth it, Mantis's might not be.
