^I always recommend the Quick Queue...why stand in line if you don't have to! It's a weekend day, one of the last of the summer so it should be quite busy.
The tour is very good if you're interested in behind the scenes workings of the coasters. If this is something that interests you, then the tour will be a true highlight of your day. If you're not as into that stuff and would rather be riding, then skip it. The tour does not let you ride any of the big stuff, it's all about behind the scenes.
