Who said it made it better?
I hope you ask Santa for a clue for Christmas.
I'm sure they'll try to do both. Let folks absorb the ambience a little.
They can slow down the exit from the entry station, slow down lift A, slow down lift B or more likely -- when the track is changed (and the car is in what I guess are break zones) they can slow down stuff there.
Looking forward to the attraction.
Some rough guess on capacity.
Roughly a 3 min ride
50 sec load/off load
Roughly a 4 minute cycle @ 5 car max X 34 per train X 15 cycles per hour = over 2500 pph.
More common 4 train operation: still, a large 2000 guest per hour capacity.
Even stretching the ride to something unlikely, a 5 minute cycle with 4 cars, you still get a nice 1600 per person stat.
I think these stats are impressive -- but I could be off, maybe 2500 pph is no big deal.

my notes..
-Only 1 AA
-Traces of Yeti throughout ride (shadows, audio cues, etc).
--Similar to Dinosaur Carno chase in concept, but not execution
-2 Hills, A&B
-16 trainers, 65 CM's in opening team. Most trainers in all of AK
-Queue is almost complete
-Show far from complete. The ride is operational, but the show isn't there
-34 people per train
-3 minute ride
-50 seconds to load/unload
-5 trains max, 4 trains average
-Yeti is complete and (intermittently) operational. It is EXTREMELY real. Somewhat scary
-Will shame Revenge of the Mummy
-Operating it will require 12ish people. 7 button pushers, 2 groupers, 2-3 others (greeters, etc)
-New Hires in 6 months
-Should be able to ride by Valentines Day

50 seconds is plenty of time.
I work at BTMRR and ours is 50 seconds also. (When running 5 trains)
In 40 seconds we are able to Unload, Load, and Check lapbars.
The other 10 idle seconds are spend reading txts behind platforms, or loading wheelchair parties. And if we do not make the 50 seconds, we have a safety brake (BZ4) right before the station, where we can hold trains.
Now, from what I hear, is E:E has 2 stations. A load and a unload. Which means the load station does not have to worry about guests who do not know how to exit the train. Which lets them do more in their 50 seconds. And I'm sure they will have a holding break right before the unload station just incase. And I'm positive they really do not have to worry about cascading all the way to their B-lift.
(ignore spelling errors, just got off a 12 hour shift)

Soarin was unique because it was not "finished" when it began public previews. It had to be entered through the gate by Imagination and then into the Soarin' lobby and the Greenhouse Tour stepoff - at that time it was still walled off from the rest of the Land pavilion which was getting its own makeover.
Later the buildings were connected properly and cm, ap, dvc previews occured. The food court was still not finished - it did not open until after a CM rent-out of the pavilion by the Reservation centers, who acted as guinea pigs for the new scatter service and food selection.
Still was not finished - the exterior was further reworked, and the water feature finally installed, and eventually the music was changed in the interior.
Opening not finished things seems to be an Epcot thing - they did it with Energy (it closed, reopend with the original show, closed again to finish Ellen, and then got tweaked some) and SPACE (Post show was tested frequently w/guests and each bay had its own opening date), and Seas is still in the long process until the ride reopens (ever since they installed the first Nemo section).
Anywho, just hoping that sheds some light on how timetables for these things can play out.

woah! There are 2 storylines!?!? I LOVE this ride!
Disney is really putting their all on this attraction, i'm already in love with it and I have yet to ride it, heck, it's not even done yet! I sure hope this becomes really succesful (that way BK can follow and AK would end up being one of the 3/4 best disney theme parks ever!)

Yah, there are separate unload and load stations. So you are saying when the train comes in to unload -- (and the timer starts) They can unload all the people, the train moves ahead, stops and loads everyone in and the lapbars get adjusted all in 50 seconds)?
Cool. That sounds reasonable. Thanks for the first hand info on loading/unloading.
Another update today FYI. (If there is something to report).

I sure hope AK will continue building E-Tickets. It's amazing how Disney attracts so many guests yet parks like Six Flags have like 15 E ticket rides.
