While I see in that photo of maXair that it looks like the queue wraps around to next to the exit, why on earth would you think that because that's how it is on Delirium that it's how it will be on maXair? That's the most illogical reasoning I've heard in a long time. Top Thrill Dragster has a load and unload station, so that must be how it is on Kingda Ka... oh, wait. No it's not.
Actually, thats what the guess is. We dont know for sure if the entrance is next to the exit like Delirium. We have some supporting evidence but we're not sure. It's anyones guess until opening day..........which is only 17 days away!!!!!
By the way, cool avatar and welcome to Pointbuzz. :)

Last year Magnum's queue was full only twice all summer. One of the times it was because the whole park was unexpectedly packed for some reason. That day, I think every coaster's queue was full...even Corkscrew's. Mantis' queue does get full more than most but that's because of its horrible capacity and its proximity to MF.
I bet that CP is anticipating a lower ridership on maXair just because it has the sigma of being a "spin 'n' puke". That, and that portion of the park can end up pretty empty on even the more busy of days.

Thanks TTD120MPH.
Mantis can have very long lines but they have an extra train under the transfers. Some of the other rides like MF and TTD have large queues because they are record breaking rides. My mom waited for an hour and a half when she first rode corkscrew. This may not have a long queue but it sure will be long.
The good thing about this is that this ride won't be popular enough to last two years. In 2K6 there will be a new coaster :)

No. I know this because PKI doesn't have rides like CP. MaXair won't be as big as Dilurium. Also CP adds a new ride every two years exept when the ride added won't be as popular(you probably already know this so don't flame me). CP coasters are better than the coasters at PKI in my opinion. They will get a new ride next year because MaXair won't be as popular. Also CP won't go without a new coaster for mor than three years now.

I guess all we can do at this point is just wait and see. I'm sure maXair will be pretty popular because of the popularity of Delirium and most peoples comments that say "gee, i hope Cedar Point gets one of these"

First of all, PKI and CP DO have the same rides; coasters, flats, and pay per attractions. I think you are highly underestimating how well this ride will go over.
"They will get a new ride next year because MaXair won't be as popular. Also CP won't go without a new coaster for more than three years now."
So, how long have you been in research and development at CP? That's what I thought.
