Which coaster(s) do you ride first?

This is my lineup when I go to CP:
1. Maverick
2. Mean Streak
3.Gemini
4. Magnum XL200
5. Raptor
6. Blue Streak (After Lunch)
7. Mantis
8. Iron Dragon
9. TTD
10. MF
I always save TTD and MF for the end of the day...I believe they give a faster ride later in the day. Plus i've always seemed to avoid the longer lines this way. I no longer bother with CCMR, Corkscrew, or DT (got my last ride on it before it's gone forever)
 
Lets say I was at Hershey. I would ride Skyrush first because of the long queue that would build up during the morning. Then I would start small at Super Duper Looper, work my way up, and finish off with Storm Runner/Fahrenheit at the end of the day when the queues subside.
 
It used to be straight to the new & big stuff but now that my kids are getting older it's small onwards. Like my recent trip to Alton Towers:
Runaway Mine Train
Sonic Spinball
Th13teen
Air
Olivion
Rita
Nemesis
 
I used to "warm up" on the smaller coasters first, but now it just doesn't matter to me. I'll ride whatever I'm most excited to ride first.
 
If I don't chicken out and say I need to warm up first, I usually start out with the newest, most crowded thrill ride and spend the rest of the day riding other thrill rides with very few breaks in between for food and rest.
 
Silverwood is the only "park" i've hit in about 5 years (Idaho is so isolating...) so I can only really account for my experiences there.

Anyway, I generally hit Tremors first, as the lines for that get long fast. Afterwhich, I hit Timber Terror, then Aftershock, then meander my way thru the park.
