Yes, but it wasn't eating butts even with a limited choice. An attraction that can handle 1500 people an hour and is only packing in 500 will not really help enough to be noticeable. The 500 was giving it the benefit of the doubt. One of the times that I rode it towards the end, it only had 4 people, including me and I don't remember more then 50 at any given time back then. In the beginning I remember two completely full trains, the massive indoor switch back was full and the line doubled around to the entrance.
