That makes sense.
Soooo, can't we open Remy and close Figment and/or Nemo to make up the cost?
(just kidding, don't throw things at me)

If they didn't people would complain endlessly about the lack of social distancing.

How is Florida handling media? I’m sure they want as much press as they can get as the countdown of opening the last of the slate of new rides gets started. I doubt they want a quiet opening. After this it’s only Guardians, a new show & Play! then Epcot will probably be stagnant for at least half a decade.
I also think opening a new ride will only attract locals, which has been the case already. No one is going to see a Ratatouille commercial and “risk it all” to fly to Florida during this pandemic. Ratatouille isn’t exactly a tending topic these days.

This is assuming that the pandemic will be over by October (which, let's be honest here, it likely won't).
No, I meant the ride would be finished by October, and that was just for example.

I think it is fair to say, ticket level for the general public is a matter of opinion. I gauged that opinion awhile about in a couple of polls that were posted both on this forum and on reddit. I used Disney's website and listed everything they had listed as an attraction with options for F(greater than an E), E,D,C,B,A, No Ticket. Here were the results:
I also have individual results for all attractions, but it would be too much to post, but if anyone wants to see a specific one, let me know. For example, here is the Living with a Land one (which I'm sure many will disagree with):
| Magic Kingdom (84 Votes) | Epcot (43 Votes) | Hollywood Studios (47 Votes) | Animal Kingdom (39 Votes) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| E- Tickets |

At least those people got AK right. The rest... Oy.

Seriously.
It just shows that most people based it on ride popularity/wait times, though. That's the only way Frozen Ever After and Slinky Dog Dash (just as examples) could ever be considered E-tickets.

American Adventure was extremely interesting, it maybe should have labeled it an A ticket based on the votes.. HM and Pirates were both clearly between a D and E, but ultimately more people felt it was a D. I apologize for getting this off topic, but I'm guessing the public will label Remmy as an E ticket.
They probably will.

Anything below C for AA is ridiculous.

American Adventure is an E-ticket experience, hands down.
Pirates WDW version in 2020 is a ride I never plan to ride again. I found it convoluted, boring, and indiscernible when i rode it last fall. It had been 7 years since I'd rode a POTC ride and I didn't really remember it; I couldn't figure out any semblance of a plot or figure out why any particular scene was happening. All the AAs were talking over one another making it even harder to pick out any particular speech.
A ticket only for the air conditioning and the fun little drop.

I think I derailed the thread off of RAT. If anyone has any more comments or wants to see any more of the detailed results, maybe move the discussion to this thread? https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/a-b-c-d-or-e-ticket.963991
Opening... sometime after today - Remy's Ratatouille Adventure! IMHO.

I do agree that WDW’s Pirates has become convoluted in its presentation, but the intent was always to not have a linear plot. Marc Davis describes the experience as a near “cocktail party”: drifting in and out of conversations. That has always been the case.
Orlando’s ride though is the least engaging of the 4. Removing the mist screen and mermaids (although not a creative decision) was a plus.

Even though I still enjoy it, it's a big shame that we got the rushed scaled back version as a knee jerk reaction rather than the epic Western River Expedition. Oh what could have been...
