Clear switch wave 1 when you set wave 2, first off.
It's not getting past the first wait due to wait blocks. This means that other triggers with waits are running for the same player, higher in the trigger order, causing a stacking effect. An example of this may possibly be hyper triggers that you made for All Players, since grouping triggers is the same as individually selecting triggers (It's best not to use the force and all players groups for triggers with waits because of this, so you can keep the order straight).
So ya. I'd personally make it so your hyper triggers were for a computer player (not p12, p12 can't run triggers), and if that doesn't fix it, see what other triggers with waits could be possibly running above it.

Frit I don't see any preserve trigger on those so that's probably not what's happening (with the switches, I mean). Those triggers look correct from what I can tell. He must have something else mucking it up (like hypers or other waits, as you said).
ADDITION:
Need more info on the problem I think to be able to solve it.

Usually in wait block problems it's a matter of guessing what's not listed, which is why I thought clearing the switch couldn't hurt anything.

yeah i'd try clearing "wave 1" in the first trigger after all effects are finished.

Unless there is a preserve (which is not in the trigger he posted), this won't change anything.

There is almost assuredly a preserve trigger there, otherwise highly doubt that he would be having wait blocks.
It is possible, but extremely difficult, to get serious wait blockage without ever using a Preserve Trigger (and without actually trying to make a wait block).
