Hey AndrewRnR,
By any chance do you have a Honda? If so, you can get in an hour early this Friday. Superman and Ninja will be operating, then you can wander over to the ride of your choice to get on first thing before the GP enters.
I did this a couple weeks ago. Rode Goliath a couple times, then wandered over to Tatsu. Got to ride back to back, once in front and once in back.
And the advice about X2 being less of a line in the afternoon is spot on. Went on it about 4:30, and only had to wait 15 minutes or so.
Note: You do not have to drive the Honda into the park, but if you do, they give free parking for the first (?) ones to enter, I don't remember how many. My wife has the Honda, I have a Charger. All I had to do was show her key at the gates to get in.
