This is actually the most ridiculous thing I've read on a theme park forum in my life.

Let's just cut all attractions in half to suit our opinion?

Man, you have no reading comprehension. The combined ride is an E, by today's standard. But it really is a combination of lesser rides, and a lot of money on rocks to get it there.

True E tickets far exceed that. You could take DLs Indy, and remove a lot of the theming, replacing it with darkness, and some static creatures, and it would STILL be an E ticket. It could be called Dinosaur.

Is Dwarf Hill an E ticket? It is a simple kids coaster, probably $15MM. Add a 30 second dark ride to it, and a lot more rocks.

What about Little Mermaid? It cost a ton, but never has a line at all, has a couple top level AAs, one being very small. Then it's surrounded with lots of simple decorations.

Is Space Mountain still an E ticket? It's horribly rough, by today's standards, and you walk a loooooong path to get in and out of it. It has 50 year old mannequins on the lift. It has a special version which is literally just turning all the lights off.

Is Kong an E ticket? F&F?

I think rides are given E ticket status now based more on the queue and setting more than the ride itself.

The ride can only be viewed as the total experience... as there is no experience that exists otherwise....

It is a dark ride/outdoor hybrid, much like Splash Mountain. And the outdoor experience is an intensely themed, highly realized experience onto itself. Your logic is severely flawed and it is hurting your argument immensely.

Any ride can be broken down into smaller parts to diminish its overall impact. Most attractions are greater than the sum of their individual parts.

The quality of an attraction or in this case it’s ticket status Is determined by the collective sum of the entire experience, it’s execution, it’s ambitiousness, and it’s impactfulness.

You don’t judge an attraction by cherry picking random aspects to count, discount, and selectively group.

Because that’s stupid.

Space Mountain is not an E ticket because the coaster itself is just a junior coaster like they build at most state fairs. And don’t get me started on Kilimanjaro Safaris. If we ignore the animals, it’s just a Jeep driving through the woods. Basically Saturday afternoon in high school.

Speaking of, I have always hated that Spaceship Earth is so short. I realize it’s a 15 minute experience overall, but I choose to view it as three 5 minute rides.

Pirates at Disneyland is the same. A total A-Ticket... They put a boring bayou ride... and then a separate boring cavern ride. The only true part is the ship battle, and that's so short. LAME.

I'm sorry... you're just not to be taken seriously here, anymore. You've painted yourself squarely into the comic relief corner.

Haunted Mansion is barely a D-Ticket. They make you *walk* (!) through the first half. The ride vehicle is so slow and no thrills. And it's so dark you can hardly see anything.

Every time the ride stops it's the end of that ride and the new ride starts after, so it is really just a series of really small rides strung together. Terrible. C-Ticket.

I am deciding not to fully engage the resident Universal troll gracing our midst. But I need to definitively correct an assumption.

NRJ was always supposed to be a C-ticket. Plans leaked all the way back in 2012 called it a C-ticket (visible on this slice in the red section).

Of course many of us think it probably should have been more, but Disney (internally) knew what was what.

If Goofy as Engineer is an AA, gah, I wonder what it'll look like... I mean, imagine this design, which works okay in the new shorts (except for the lack of pants) in 3D:
