I think, in the long run, you're right about tiering not being necessary at MK. But, if I was Disney, I would be very nervous about heavily promoting the Mine Ride and then offering it as a FP+ option without tiering when it is brand-new and everyone, both families and thrill-ride fans, want to check it out. Maybe they'll follow Universal Studios' example and hold off on offering FP+ for the Mine Ride, but that will make it difficult to promote FP+ and the Mine Ride at the same time. Maybe instead they'll just let guests fight it out for those coveted Mine Ride FP+ slots?
That would be my guess.
Just like guests would be fighting it out if there were paper FPs for it.
Except that now, some guests may be able to make their FP+ reservations in advance (unless at first they don't offer FP at all) and not have to be at the park at opening to join the stampede to the ride to either ride or get a FP before they run out.
