I would imagine the new Ninjago ride would get a long line quickly. After that, continue to the Lost Kingdom Adventure (like Buzz Lightyear), then ride the Technic coaster and up the hill to the the Dragon coaster. If you do those first that's several of the biggies in one area. Agreed on avoiding the pedal ride -- it will take forever.
Afternoons are good for Miniland, the shows, the factory tour, the water play area, the castle play area.
