I wanted to create this forum because so many (myself included) throw around "A ticket," "E-ticket" etc. ....quite loosely at times imo.
But even while the ticket system existed, Disney themselves frequently moved several attractions "up & down" between categories during that first era before General Admission....
This is the only "black and white" factual part.... a list of (still extant) MK attractions, c. 1975:
BASED on THAT (& how now-defunct attractions were "ticketed"...and....not necessarily my opinions of the merits (or lack thereof) of individual attractions), this is how I would rate the rest of WDW's current attractions (which admittedly has gotten easier with the recent closures):
AK
, my assessment may be particularly "off"
LET THE DEBATE BEGIN
Feel free to copy & paste this to make your own "lists." If anyone wants to ask me of why I rated any particular attraction the way I did, I'll happily explain, "the method behind the madness"
