5000 seats per show. There will be some areas you can view from outside, but the best view is from the theater.
Something like 15ft x 30ft.
So assuming a busy day of around 30K guests, a lot of people are not going to make it into the show. FP+, dining packages etc are going to be most sought after I believe.

Was there any info on FP's or when they'll be available?

Disagree. I rode it the very first day the attraction was open. It was never 'good'. Its OK for what it is.

Nope
If they are doing 3 shows a night it will equate to half of your predicted attendance.
I don't doubt that the FP dining packages will be popular especially at the beginning, but I doubt it will be an worse that Fantasmic after a year or two.

They will likely change the park hours before then.. when they announced the SW fireworks they changed park hours, showings, etc all within like 2 weeks. They won't be shy
Yep, I keep seeing this same issue brought up. Don't take any notice of the currently posted hours. Even without new show openings, the park hours are always updated closer to the time. And in this case, they most certainly will be. The park has a full slate of night attractions, so expect 10pm and later closes.They will likely change the park hours before then.. when they announced the SW fireworks they changed park hours, showings, etc all within like 2 weeks.

Disagree with your disagreement,
when all it's effects were working ... the ride was very cool. I forget how many effects have gone un-repaired or turned off, it's too numerous to count. The ride needs some TLC badly in it's current state, I can't remember the last time it has had a decent re-furb.well if the highlight of the new expansion is Pandora at night it needs to open for several hourshttp://www.travelweek.ca/news/disneys-animal-kingdom-debuts-night-safari-rivers-light-show-april/ This article has the new events starting 15-20 minutes after sunset, with the park staying open as late as 11:30.
i personally havent been this excited for an expansion in a long time

Careful with this kind of talk. On here it's just a small "multimedia presentation" that has been budget-cut to a d-ticket attraction.
Or, it's not, but rather you trying to stereotype the conversation. Quality effort though....
Try quoting in context. You'll earn respect that way.
Or rather try an agenda that's not transparent.

Disagree with your disagreement,
I haven't been on the attraction since 2009, so I have no idea of its current state, nor do I care. But it is not a good attraction, regardless. The biggest problem is that the ride system itself is lacking, but that doesn't mean you can't make a good attraction on it: See Indy. Dinosaur or CTE (hmm, that abbrevation is ironic due to the shaking of the ride) are not good.
Lets put it this way: I've been on the ride when the smoke and lasers worked. And I didn't think it was 'good' then. Like I said, its OK. But thats it.
