Talking Most Excellent Field Trip, Eh - Tips Needed

This is my kind of field trip. Being the Class of 2007 (Yes, freshmen) we usually get the leftovers, the crap the upper classes don't want, and sometimes beatings from the upperclassmen. Not today. We had class meetings this morning, and much to my delight, we get a class trip, not any old class trip, Paramount Canada's Wonderland! Can you imagine my jubilation at this announcement? I didn't think so. Well, I have somewhere around 64 days to prepare for this trip (special to me because, no, i have never been to PCW) and I find myself asking my peers at TN for any and all tips you can give me for my trip up North. Any and all details and hints are helpful, as I know very little at this point, and would like to know very much by the time that fateful yellow bus pulls into the parking lot at PCW. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your support and have a nice day!

Run to Bat and Top Gun first, those have the biggest lines.
Vortex is awesome and should be experienced at least twice.
Ride all the major flats (shockwave, psyclone, sledehammer, cliffhanger) at least once each.

Hehe, whoops... I could have sworn i put this in Travel Tips. Any mod that comes across this, mind moving it to the proper location? Thanks, sorry for the screw up.

That was my post one minute after you came along Chip, thanks for moving it.

Just make sure you ride all those awesome flats they have there, because you won't get another chance to for a while.

Nice job on the field trip decision. I am class of 07' and we get crappy field trips too. Well, last year we went to schlitterbahn, but we don't get anymore really. The biggest one is the senior trip and it's to Volente Beach (a crappy local waterpark that has two slides.)

As for PCW definately ride the flats. I have heard they are amazing.. afterall flats are my favorite ride types.

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions, guys, ok so so far I know to definately to ride the flats and that the Bat and Top Gun have long lines. Any other suggestions? Like I said I have a while to wait so I have time to learn all I can now, I can't spend my one chance at PCW wandering around like an idiot, now can I? Again, thanks for everyone's help!

C'mon folks, I know there are a ton of our Northern friends on this board that must frequent PCW, I really need anything you can help me out with for this fast-approaching trip. Again anything is appreciated, thanks again.

OK its 10 o'clock and I find myself sitting here the night before the big trip. Anyone have any last-minute tips I could get tonight or tomorrow morning that could be helpful at all? My trip report should be up friday, and thanks once again.
