You have to get there right when gates open or at the most an hour later. We got there about an hour after gates opens and it was not bad. We got 3 rides done in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The food is way over priced. We went to a burrito place and the total was $30. This was for one bottle of water and 2 burritos. Then basically after that it was just crazy. I tried to get one the Fury 325, I was in line for about an hour and I was no where close to the entrance. We desided to go to the Carolina Cyclone. The line was not to bad, but as soon as we were at the front of the line waiting it BROKE. They took an 30 minutes to fix it. Our last ride was the Vortex. Really good and nothing was wrong with it.
We rode 5 rides (about 45 minutes each), lunch (30 minutes), and tried to get on the Fury 325 (an hour). A total is about 5 hours and 45 minutes. Now this is great advertisement for the fast pass, but that is $63 for the premium. Now if you have 2 people plus the $126, 2 fast passes one for each person, the total is around $216-$238. The other option is get the season pass and that is $116 for the gold one. You would at least have to go there 3-7 days a year to get your moneys worth.
The last thing I'm going to say is that you can't bring in your own food or drink. Now there needs to be some changes. Either keep the tickets the same price and lower food and drink price or vice versa.
