Because the ERT on the Dragster is the first -- and only ERT -- offered for the first 90 minutes of the day -- obviously just about everybody will head out there first.
Supposedly last year's CoasterMania! drew between 2000 and 3000 enthusiasts. With a new coaster this year I wouldn't be surprised to see turnout closer to 4000 this time (like you, I'll be making my first run at CoasterMania!).
Either way, a lot of the wait will hinge on whether TTD is running 12 seat or 16 seat trains next month. But if, say, 2500 CoasterMania guests are there you're talking about two hours between rides. So you'll definitely get on once -- maybe twice if you don't mind missing the ERT over on Raptor and Blue Streak before the park opens to the general public.
Then again, take this with a grain of salt because this will be my first time too. But I'm going in expecting long lines but stoked over the fact that the park will be open for 19 hours!

Still, Cameron isn't the first person I see who -- like myself -- will be making our first trek out to CoasterMania. And as the TTD hype grows over the next few weeks I can see that number grow.
Sure, a lot of the locals will have gotten their fill by then, but I'm still expecting a wall of enthusiasts.

I know quite a few people who are going to Coastermania this year as their first enthusiest event. I even know 2 people who are only going to CP once, and its for coastermania (and its not like its because they're coming for far away either, only from Cleveland)
