Please don't get carried away with my spoiler. Although some of it is fact, the rest is an opinion of someone else and not me. That said, I mostly trust this opinion as I understand how they talk. Regardless, many may view the attraction differently. Do not despair as this was not my intention.
I thought you said your daughter didn't see the Yeti because it went by so fast. That she only saw the earlier shadow projection.
Let me clarify that this isn't such a serious issue on this ride but you will roll right by and not stop even though there is more to it that is very satisfactory.

Couldn't they just edit the ride and make it stop for a little?

The ride vehicles have definitely been my biggest concern. I'm worried some seats are going to get shafted in regards to view.
Clearly we need @BriMan to go on vacation to get softs going already. 
There are certain aspects that they are trying to tone UP, make more frightening. There is one case where they toned down the audio which I hate because I love the startling thunder of sub woofers.

He's moving this weekend so....
Yes, you do go by too fast on Everest and I believe the shadow part is the part (which you stop at) is the part that freaked her out. I was saying that on a slow moving ride you shouldn't have the same issue as Yeti because it is slower
Sounds like you will see it, but not as long as the execs would like you to see it because you don't stop. Now I get it, she saw it better when we were stopped and you would see Kong better if you stopped. Two sick kids home today, it didn't click until now.
I hope he looks like this.

Reading between the lines of the last few pages has really brought me down to reality with respect to whatever the finale with the Kong AA is going to entail. I'm trying REALLY hard to not form concrete expectations before riding the attraction for myself, but if they've in any way fumbled what should be the centerpiece of the ride, I'm not going to be terribly thrilled.
Hopefully it's going to be great!

From everything I understand, that pretty much is it. Now walk past it briskly for the full effect.
I have been told a possible dome screen in the queue, could this be one of the three? Also had a friend cast member who walked through the attraction and he hinted at more than one Kong AA..
Oh, I have no doubt that it's going to be a very fun, very solid attraction overall, and for most people. There's just one particular element that's going to make it or break it for me. That may be unfair, but we're all allowed to judge attractions based on different (and sometimes very personal and idiosyncratic) standards.
Oh, absolutely!
Just get ready to be ripped to shreds when you express any critique/comment/"negativity"/"contrarian" opinion.
I'm starting a support group for us "Debbie downer/negative nancy" types.

Pretty much what I expected all along but I thought we would at least go slow or stop. Maybe he'll lean forward and roar so everyone could have a pretty good look?
The most pie in the sky hope I ever got to was him rearing up and beating his chest.
