Hey all! I'm new SoCal and have some friends in town visiting who want to go to Knott's this Sunday! I know it's going to be packed and hot, trying to determine a ride strategy and determine if it's worth the extra wait to get the front or back for certain rides. Been reading quite a bit to determine a strategy for the top thrill rides/coaster, I will arrive before they open...To my understanding, I should try for the GhostRider first and that the best seat is the back, but should we just do first available? Second should be the Xcelerator and to sit in the front. Where should we go from there?
Also do they allow camelbaks (backpack with a liquid bladder) and sealed bottles of water?
