With the quick pass/express lane, we could get in 5-10 rides/hour on coasters like Apollo's Chariot, Alpengeist, or the Griffon.
My wife and I went to Busch Gardens a few years ago on a really hot (>100*) summer day. The heat kept the crowds away and we walked right over every right.
I love everything about roller coasters except for the initial hill climb. I know it's all in my head, but I just can't deal with heights. So, to ride roller coasters that have that first big hill, I close my eyes until the drop. I'm fine from then on. I can be twisting and turning 200' in the air at 60mph and be fine. But, climbing the hill at 2mph turns my stomach upside down. Ha.
