I thought the station was lined up with the launch track. Had a look at the plan, nup, & looks like it will allow a train to stack behind one that is loading/unloading. Or it will follow Dustin's plan in the post above. The third train would be running or on the brakes.
http://members.aol.com/coasterdan/hypersonic.html Notice the crash symbol/yin yang thingy indicating the ride's peak. Funnily enough, there is no number next to it, the outside numbers are marked '160ft.' I tried to read the height of the bunny hop. No luck, it looks about 20ft tall in the photos (Track to top height).
The offical Paramount site lists 8 people per ride cycle which is the same as the prototype. Assuming the ride-ops & the L/UL to be 100% efficient, i.e. if the ride time is really 17secs, a single cycle would be of the same length. This translates to 1694pph. However the cycle would more realistically be 30s = 960pph. 45s = 640, 60s = 480. Like someone said, this is the same problem the park had with Volcano!
