Book tickets online to save money but more importantly you get in quicker as you don’t need to buy at gate!
Get there early, before it opens, vip parking is a rip off but worth it as it’s so close to entrance, again meaning you get in quicker, normal carpark needs you using monorail which can take time.
I don’t think you can book online for next day. If you do get in early go straight to the popular rides, wicker man is new this year, Rita is fantastic, but all major coasters will be busy so work out a good starting order to get on a few early... then you can relax and go on the less popular stuff.
Optionally buy fast pass tickets (set of six) but use them later in day when queues are really big.
Have fun!
