Feb 24, 2015 at 17:05 comment added user47305 You could try $Y$ the blow-up of $\mathbb P^2$ at $4 \leq k \leq 8$ points, and $X$ the double-cover branched over a conic missing all the points. Certainly $Y$ has polyhedral cone, but $X$ is $\mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1$ blown up at $2k$ points, which is isomorphic to $\mathbb P^2$ blown up at $2k+1$ points. My guess is that $X$ can have infinitely many rays, but there's something to check since the resulting $2k+1$ points aren't general. For $k=8$ I think it's easy to see this works, though I'm not sure about $k=4$.

maybe it's true.
