Crowds will be pretty heavy on Saturday as with most parks. Sunday would be the best day to go. Some people would say go straight to Hypersonic first but i'm the type of person who walks around the park and rides whatever coaster comes first the the next one in a line. That would put you at XLC about 3rd. Either way you will be waiting at least an hour for XLC. If i were you since you have never been i would hit Volcano & Flight Of Fear first. By far better that Hypersonic but thats just me. After riding anaconda be sure to ride Drop Zone on you way over to XLC since it's on the way. I really haven't been to PKD in june and and i don't know when school gets out so i'll say it will be pretty light crowds. Have fun, mabye i'll see you there. PKD is like a 2nd home park to me, i try to go about 10 times a year.

I don't think you'll have any problems on the 11th, the 12th though will be busy as school will only have been out 1 or 2 weeks in VA.

My advice is hit Volcano first, then Avalanche right next to it, then just work your way counterclockwise around the park.

Flight of fear is a must, then Anaconda is next to it, then head over towards Hypersonic. You can catch a ride on Drop Zone over that way too.

The park is pretty much a loop, with a couple short cuts. My favorite woody there is still Grizzlly. It's not the best in the world or anything, but I love that tunnel.
