I'm visiting for my second time this year on July 25th and I'm thinking about trying out the front seats of Maverick, Millennium Force, and Top Thrill Dragster. How much longer does it usually take to wait? I don't really want to have to wait more then 20 minutes since I'm guessing it'll already be pretty crowded.
The front wait queues for Millennium is about 20 minutes. On Maverick, 10-15, and on TTD: it really depends.
Sorry to get off topic but I have to say that some of the crews have gotten very lazy with letting the station overfill. Corkscrew, Magnum, and Millennium just to name a few. The ride hosts have been very lazy for the past 2-3 years on that. Magnum and Millennium just get packed. Magnum also has the odd shaped station so that makes it very hard to figure out what line to go in.

Although I didn't get to Cedar Point till last year for the first time, I know that Millenniums station was absolutely horrible when I went this June. I had just gotten in the station and was heading to the back seat, It was so packed that I couldn't even get to the line, and I ended up with any seat I could actually get too. I hope it's not that bad when I go on Sunday, they need to do something about it.
TTD's is the worst of the three in my mind, but MF is also incredibly long all the time. If I were you I'd give the back seat a shot. I think it's a better ride, personally.

When did Millennium's station get incredibly packed?! 2003-2007 there was always a ride op guiding people into the station and it was always extremely organized, with 2-4 people waiting for each car, and then longer lines for the front and back seats. It was always the most organized station in the park IMO, with Maggie's being the most crowded. If Millie's super-organized station has changed, I'll be a little disappointed when I finally get a chance to get to the point again.
Halloweekends 2007, and for the 08' 09' and 10' seasons they have been horrible about crowd control.

Top Thrill Dragster will most likely be the longest of your waits, then Millennium, then Maverick. Dragster's front seat can add about 40 minutes to your wait, Millennium around 20 and Maverick takes about 10.
This year Dragster's station has been crazy on most of my visits. The employee does nothing and just lets everyone in. The line for the front backs up all the way down the station blocking everyone else from finding a row making a big mass of people just standing as soon as you enter. Sometimes if you sneek around the people in Station 2 you can snag the back row without a wait. Last year on Millennium the station was packed so I decided to wait a little for it to clear out before entering. Well the people behind me didn't like that so they all just went under the bar and couldn't even walk because of the amount of people.
On the other hand Wicked Twister's crew has been great with station control the times I have riden.
