I take planning to the next level. Get to the park, first ride, Green Lantern. Go to the season pass processing center (if first visit of season). Next head over to El Toro, ride it, go across the bridge to Bizarro, eat at Best of the West. If time ride Runaway Mine Train, in the summers Log Flume. If Open take the Skyride to other side of the park, if not walk it, and on the way ride Skull Mountain. Ride Nitro, Congo rapids (if open), and B:TR. Go back to other side of the park and ride Rolling Thunder, El Toro (again), and end the day on Superman. The most amazing thing about this schedule is that even with hour long lines, you still get the rides in. So in other words, my first ride of the season is Green Lantern.
