I found a website that I bookmarked and used for our last trip and it seemed to work well for us. The only main difference is that you NEED to do Simpson's first and rather quickly. Hope it helps. This is not my info, just cut and paste from someone else : ) Also, it refers to express pass back when everyone could get it so adjust accordingly.

Attack Plan
IOA/USF 2005
Many ask, whats the best way to tour the parks?
Thats subjective, and there are a few attack plans you can try. Each one assumes you arrived to the parking garage at 8am (or walked from your onsite hotel), and are standing at the gate by 08:15am. In the summer time, or busy holidays, the park usually opens at 08:45am. My plans are suited for adults/teens who like thrill rides.
Taking a lap Tour of IOA
This tour basically goes in a circle around the park doing the rides in order. When the park opens, run to Hulk.
Hulk in the front row
Hulk in the back row
Get an express pass for Hulk when exiting, return time of 11am
Spiderman
Dr Doom
Pteranodon Flyers (optional, kid rule goes into effect when the line gets big)
Rip Saw Falls
Jurassic Park River Adventure
Popeye (you will get soaked)
Flying Unicorn (optional)
Dueling Dragons (fire and ice)
Poseidons Fury (usually opens at 11am)
Hulk using express pass
Lunch at Mythos
Sinbad Show
Kiddie rides in Seuss Landing
Go back to hotel and change cloths, rest
Thrill Ride Tour at IOA

Walk over to IOA
Follow either tour of IOA up above, most likely the Thrill Ride Tour
You may want to skip Popeye to avoid getting soaked
And the front seat line for the coasters will be too long, try for row 2
Come back to USF and do
Mummy using express pass

The rest is up to you but do not ride BTTF as it will make you sick.
USF only tour
* Would do Simpsons now first and then I'd do

Believe it or not, using any of the above attack plans, you will be done with your tour by the early afternoon. By this time, your feet will be tired, and you will be ready to leave, especially if you are dragging kids along. If you want to stay, fine, but its best to go back to your hotel room, rest, and come back later that afternoon when crowds are leaving.
11am to 4pm is rush hour at the park. That is when they are most crowded. It is a good idea to head back to your hotel room, because in the summer time, the sun heats up the walkways (painted concrete or black ashvault) and youll be dripping with sweat. Its hot ok?
Most people arrive at 11am, they sleep in, or get a late start. If you can be at the gate before 9am, you will have a huge head start on these people. Most of the time, I am leaving the parks around noon, as the mass of people are arriving.
When I go back to the parks at 4pm, its the opposite. The mass of people are leaving, worn out from the afternoon heat, the afternoon sun is dropping, and Im showing up for an evening of fun.
Even if you stay onsite, its still a good idea to arrive to the parks early, because then you can get your front seat rides on Hulk, Dueling Dragons, and get out of the heat around noon when the crowd shows up. Most likely, you will be back at the front of the park at noon. That is when you want to leave and go back to your hotel room.
Here is Roberts get the front seat from row 2 trick. Many times, those waiting for the front row will only be a party of 3. If you are waiting in row 2, keep your eyes pealed to see how many are going into the front row. If a seat is available, take it. If you are with someone, let them know before hand so theyll understand and not throw a fit about it.
There are 3 bars in each park, usually located next to a restaurant. Happy Hour at them usually starts around 4pm, and runs for a couple hours. The specials and times at each bar vary during the year. Nascar Café has draft beer specials all the time, a good place to visit. Check the times and specials the other bars are offering. There is usually a sign posted, or you can ask a bar tender.
