Some pointers for those coming out to the Point. I have ridden MF 4X and waited about an hour each time. If three queue houses are full, that's about an hour + wait. Just see how full they are and plan your time accordingly. For example, the sign yesterday said a 2 hour wait, yet we were on and off in 1 and 1/4 hours. This is of course tih 3 train operation.
No matter what time of day you go, you will most likely wait an hour. My advice: go back to Magnum or something else first when there is NO ONE back there! The other day, I got to ride Magnum, Gemini, and Mean Streak all in about 45 minutes.
Also, I would bet against buying a drink in line. While it may quench your thirst, it will also most likely make you wish you had a bathroom nearby. Just my experience..
Hope this helps! Later!

Another good time to go is from 1-2 o'clock and about 4-5 o'clock. These are about the times when everybody gets hungry and you can get on alomst all the rides quickly. I got in line for MF around 4:30 and rode the ride at about 5:30. Yeah, I know an hour wait, but it was the shortest I had seen it al day. We got in line for Mantis around 1:30 and was on the ride at 1:50. After that the line had filled up all the way to the second inversion.
Another thing, we rode Mean Streak, Gemini, Magnum, Corkscrew, & Mantis in the last hour and a ten mins. that day. We did this by being at the back of the park about an Haour and a half before closing, and by the time we got to Magnum, alomst everybody else was at the front of the park. Thus, leaving walk-ons for the rest of the people.
I got in line for MF around 10:30 during Coaster Mania and had a 2 1/2 hour wait but then got in line around 7:30 and had a 1 hour wait!!!
I rode MF only 1 time during ERT. The rest of the day I rode all of the coasters 1, Mantis 4x, Raptor 4x, MF 4x, and Magnum 3x.
