On the pre-show thing, I think it depends on if you consider the pre-show an integral part of the attraction. If you do, then your wait time was only however long you waited up until the pre-show. If you don't then it's a longer queue disguised as part of the attraction.
IMO, in something like HM, ToT or RotR, the pre-show is definitely an integral part of the attraction. In FoP, not so much. For both pre-shows in there I'm just counting the seconds until it ends and I can get to the ride. For my first examples, if I had an option of a 10 minute wait and all I got to do was the pre-show or a 2 hour wait for the entire attraction I'd actually just do the pre-show sometimes.

Are you saying the pre-shows makes it take longer to get to the ride?

On balance, IMO a preshow is probably better than a non-discript line. However, longer preshows can suffer from poor repeatability (Muppets for example is rough for me now, but Soarin' is ok). I guess I can only speculate on what's not there, but I'm not sure I'd prefer on rides I've riden over and over again (Thunder, Splash, HM, Pirates, SE), etc
