I've got a trip to the Point coming up and I was wondering if you could give me an answer to a question of mine. Here it is: From your experience, list the waits for the coasters at the point (excluding woodstock and jr Gemini)from longest to shortest on an average june weekday
If you check the trip reports section look for reports of weekdays during June, most of them listed how long they waited

I need a vacation to recuperate from my vacation.
When I stode in line for MF right when the park opened, it was a 45 minute wait. When I got in line for MF at 8:00PM, it was a 2 and a half hour wait. Get on it in the morning!!
Magnum rarely has a long line anymore....I think I'd file it under Duane's "Time of day dependent" category.

Yeah, I'd disagree with you about Magnum, Duane. There is a much longer line for Mantis since people get on it before or after MF. And many people would rather wait a long time for MF rather than wait for Magnum. At least it's been this way for my 2 trips this season.
Follow my yet to be proven wrong motto.
If the line seems to long, then it probably is. Come back later in the day. The lines rarely get longer. In fact they usually disappear.
In short, you shouldn't be waiting longer than an hour for ANYTHING. If you are, you might just be in "the wave".
