Updated my tracker as Disney might be starting initial prep work for this land faster than I thought.
I'm expecting a full 2 year build with Muppets closing this time next year. WDW is shaping up for a strong 2027.
Red -> estimated closure dates
Green -> estimate opening dates
Yellow -> construction time

Since this is where the Door Coaster is going, it definitely seems like they're going to work on the Door Coaster as much as possible before closing Muppet CourtyardDemolition Continues in Muppets Courtyard Area Ahead of Monsters Inc. Takeover

Yup, wouldn't be surprised to see the gravity building nearly complete before they even touch Muppets.

100% an E-ticket. D-ticket coaster would be more like Barnstormer.

I think Barnstormer is more of a C. I think Slinky is a D-Ticket and 7DMT is on the line of D/E.

Fair enough. I would still guess the door coaster is an E-Ticket based off the fact it's a suspended coaster.
This really helps map things out visually, good work!
Only thing I would say is I doubt Space Mountain (or any other MK E-ticket) would go down until after Big Thunder has reopened.

Makes sense. DHS is one of those parks that desperately, more than others, needs as much open as possible.

Anything that is a LLSP or Tier 1 LLMP is an E Ticket

Definitely an E ticket. That seems to be all Disney is interested in building these days (particularly in Hollywood Studios)

I feel like all the projects of late are like minilands (or full lands) with an E-ticket and a C/D ticket
in DHS you have TSL they built Slinky which is an E-ticket and then AS2 that is a C ... Galaxy's Edge have Rise that is an E ticket and Falcon that is a D ticket. In Pandora have FOP that is a E-Ticket and then Navi that is C ticket
So for Monsters I suspect it will be the coaster as an E-ticket and the show as a C/D ticket

Slinky is an E-ticket? Oh how far we have fallen.

Diet E-ticket? E-ticket lite? It puts the “E” in litE?

Just as good a time as any to point out that the ticket levels are, contemporarily, used internally to communicate the scale and scope of an attraction more than anything else - it has nothing to do with demand or enjoyment factor or Lightning Lane monetization
Peter Pan's Flight, very much an old-school C-ticket dark ride (and even designated as a C on many of the ticket books from which the classifications originated), is a Multi Pass attraction - does that make Pan an E now?
Slinky Dog Dash is very much a slightly beefed-up junior coaster - is the Barnstormer a D or E too?
And if basic flat rides like Swirling Saucers are Cs, then are basic dark rides (Snow White, Toad, Pooh, Pinocchio, etc.) Ds?

TSMM is a D ticket with an E-ticket boarding area. Slinky is like someone cross-bred Barnstormer/Go-Coaster with a D-ticket. If they had bothered to actually do the landscaping as planned, there might be an argument for a light E-Ticket, but simply being a little bigger than a kiddie coaster without much more Disney-quality storytelling/themeing doesn't qualify it in my opinion. It's kind of the inverse of SDMT, which is a C-ticket coaster/darkride trying to wear the clothes of an E-ticket. If either had just a little more, they would be satisfying for what they are. But both feel lackluster like the experience we receive isn't equal to the experience the attraction sells you on.

This is my personal choice, but I don't base my ticket level opinions according to how Lightning Lane ranks them.

Guess it depends on how you looks at them, but thinking on the headliner of an area/what draws you in, I think Slink Dog qualifies - certainly does for my family
I mean, looking at the original "E Tickets" and it included things like the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island - so I don't think it is just the most advanced, biggest and greatest - or hasn't been historically.
If you want to only call the tippy top rides - basically just the LLSP rides - an E Ticket then no Slinky wouldn't qualify
