Well, if Magnum is only running one train, the wait is going to obviously be pretty long. It's almost like a Six Flags coaster now. :)
Aside from my first ride today where I was on one of the first trains, my waits after that were both 1.5 hours. In one case this included the line wrapping outside the queue, and the second time (starting at 1pm) the queue was just full, with no overflow outside. Not bad at all, considering this is a brand new ride. Although I imagine on weekends in July it'll be much worse.
Once you get inside the WWL station it goes pretty fast. The one variable to all this is that sometimes the ride stops for 10-15 minutes. This happened once each during my second and third wait for the ride.

From what I have experienced so far is about a one and a half hour wait when the queue is totally full and minimal downtime.

yea what kind of increase is there in mean streaks line because i love riding it and making it right to the stairs
the outside part of the queue is awesome because it is an old line that is for a new ride. it is the most comfortable queue line in all of cedar points roller coasters lines. and the ho down music mixed with excitement for brand new roller coaster is absolutely amazing
I got in line today at about 1:00 and it was 1.5 hours with a 10 min. down time to pull the gunmetal train off of the track (second time for the day, maybe a suspect wheel issue).The queue was full all the way to the test seat.
As for station music WWL building did have music today at a rather loud level. Also sometime after 10 am the mic system went out in the station and the ops had to yell out the speils. The poor girl barely had a voice left.
Personally I think this is the best queue in the park, 95% of it is shaded although it did look like from about 5 pm on a little sun may beat down on the first set of queue. The only thing I see wrong is the lack of mist fans, CP will definately need to add these its going to get hot inside WWL.
Beeeeehhhhhhh!!!!!
May I suggest they turn down blaring music in the queue house?

I also got in line today right at 1:00pm and waited the same 1.5 hours. I didn't know the delay was to pull one of the trains off the track. Earlier in the day when there was a similar delay while I was waiting it must have been the same thing. Good to know.. :)

The shade makes up for that, somewhat, though.

Yeah, except for one wait where I was outside the queue for a bit (when it was wrapped around towards the mine ride), having the shade helped quite a bit today. But when it's even hotter in July and August, I think they will need to install some fans.

The use of the old WWL station was probably one of the better ideas that Cedar Point has come up with, IMO.

Albert it was the same train this morning as well (gunmetal).
The WWL queue house was allready starting to get a little warm today and it was only 75` with little humidity. I cant even imagine what 90` or 100` with high humidity will feel like without mist fans.
Beeeeehhhhhhh!!!!!
I don't really think spraying water on people in the shade is the best idea. That's just going to make it more humid since it can't evaporate without the sun.
They just need some nice ceiling fans in that queue house. I'm not sure why those weren't planned from day one actually. Makes perfect sense to me.

Are there any mist fans or just not many?
I am somewhat of a fan of mist.

I'm a fan of Sierra Mist. Although, that would not be as good sprayed over those waiting in line. Sticky.
