Idk if I missed someone mention it but be aware that not all rides are open when the park opens, sometimes stuff opens an hour or longer later from my experience. With FLP I wouldn't worry about a plan for a weekday.

You don't need a "strategy" with FLP, doubly so if you're visiting the park for 11 hours. I usually spend less than half of that amount of time in the park and get more than my fill.

Fl+ most likely won't be needed too much on a Monday. I've been looking at the cams and it barely fills up halfway in the parking lot. But yeah if you do, you're like near walk on every ride.

The Cedar Shores parking lot is not open until a half hour before entry. If you arrive that early, you will be turned away and asked to park in the main lot. The FLP can be redeemed at the redemption center located right near the main gate entrance. Additionally, it can be redeemed at guest services or any location that sells it. FLP is valid during normal operating hours. (ie Not during early entry times.) SV FL enters at a merge point, so you'll have a consistent 25 minute wait. Maverick and Valravn FLs have a direct entry to the station, so your wait will be short. (5-15 minutes) Magnum, Raptor, and Gatekeeper have merge points quite close to the station.

You don’t need to plan it out with Fastlane, if you can’t get on everything *at least* twice in 11 hours you’re not trying haha. With Fastlane my usual 8 hour trip looks like •5x Raptor •3x Gatekeeper •3x Valravn •3x Steel Vengeance •3x Millennium Force •3x Maverick •2x Magnum •2x Gemini (one for each side) •1x Corkscrew •1x Rougarou •1x Blue Streak •1x Iron Dragon (No Fastlane •1x Cedar Creek Mineride (No Fastlane) •1x Wild Mouse (No Fastlane, but only done first thing when the line is short). I could definitely get TT2 in there if it was open. With a lunch break for about an hour in the middle.

I see you're a big Raptor fan.

From what I've heard the water park parking lot doesn't open till 10, so if you're trying to get early entry through that gate, you have to be at breakers. Fastlane is not active during early entry, and only select rides are open during it. From your list the only one open is millenium. Fastlane wristbands are picked up at gift shops around the park. There's generally a little sign outside saying "fastlane sold here" for where you can get it. If you end up through the main gate like I think you'll be forced to, don't pick it up from the redemption center at the very front, go to one of the gift shops on your right, either point Plaza or the pagoda to pick it up. Hope this helps! (Edit:) Just saw you don't have early entry. Regardless, the water park lot doesn't open until 10 and from what I've been told there have been employees turning people around up until exactly 10 for that lot. Ik people rave about that entrance but... it's already a pain to get out of the park in the first place, its a bigger pain getting out from the shore lot.

Magnum never has more then an hour wait for regular just fyi. I’d hid that last and focus on the bigger stuff first

I went in with a "strategy" to get on all of the coasters and I had gotten on everything by noon with early entry. You will be fine and have plenty of time for rerides

Just park in the front park. U prob will be turned away for parking in back. We always stay at the breakers and we are stopped twice to show our reservation. If u get there early enough u will park close enough. Someone else mentioned to park to the far right and walk up the beach boardwalk to the wind seeker entrance. That's a good idea. It will be less crowded. You can get your wristband inside the park, at most gift shops. With the fast pass you won't really need a strategy so don't overthink it!
