Seeing illusions and AAs for too long ruins their mystique.

If TLM thinks that it can move us that slowly through the attraction and be able to convey story, sound, illusion and do so in a interesting manner, let them. Already claiming it's too long is baseless when it, in actuality, could be a great asset to the ride.

I'm guessing that the soundtrack "loop" in each room will be longer than a normal dark ride, so you'll probably just hear more of the song than you would if the vehicles were moving faster. Hopefully the rooms will be full of lots of props/animatronics to look at though - otherwise the riders might start to get bored. Those rooms look awfully small in the videos.

Nothin' smells worse than yer stale donut breath in the middle a the night!! An' that's what REALLY stinks up the little attic bedroom the most!!!
