One thing that isn't really clear from the pictures I've seen: the "wetland" section that has the dry path option...is the wet path just water seeping across the ground from left to right? Can someone who has been there clarify? If so, I feel like I've experienced that at night in Fantasyland after the fireworks for years!
Yes basically

Still in previews in October. When is this thing gonna open for real? I want to see how they truly handle the MOBS when it’s really open.

These folks doing the previews are very lucky to experience this attraction in a non MOBBED situation.

Another thing I wonder about is how will they handle folks who staying too long in this walk through as the queue grows and grows outside.

Yeah, it is basically like walking through a 1" deep stream

Definitely interesting that you don't need to register for it .... sort of seems more like early access vs a preview

I think that because the effects and management of the attraction will work better with fewer guests, this is Disney's way to try to avoid the massive rush at first and spread out crowds. So that by the time they "officially" open, there won't be the same rush to experience it and the "regular" guests will have a better experience.

The massive rush IS GOING TO HAPPEN no matter what Disney does.
