But that's a personal opinion (one which I share with you, but some folks loved that ride). The Canoes at Disneyland were a D Ticket, and as they still operate if they brought back the tickets it would probably still be a D Ticket because of its high labor costs.
The ticket system was created because it reflected the costs of operation of each ride, although there was also some marketing magic involved also. Thus you had labor intensive rides like the Canoes or StorybookLand as D Tickets, while less labor intensive dark rides like Snow White were C Tickets. The first animatronic attraction, the Enchanted Tiki Room in 1963 was above a 75 cent E Ticket you needed for the Matterhorn or Submarines, and required a special 85 cent ticket just for the Tiki Room because the cost to operate that special show was so high in the mid 1960's.
But if you could get a deep pocketed sponsor to cover the costs, the attraction was free. Thus the GE Carousel of Progress and the Monsanto Adventure Thru Inner Space were free, no ticket required. Even though the Carousel of Progress probably would have been an E Ticket and Inner Space a D Ticket, owing to their animatronics and complex operating systems.
So with all that said, after watching the corny B Roll video that Disney released yesterday, I am convinced that Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is an E Ticket. This is going to be a really great ride for DHS, and eventually Disneyland and other parks, to have in their roster of E Tickets!
Originally, the Ticket system was based on the ride's cost and how much Walt was charging kids to ride each time based on that cost. Over time, the Ticketing system was used to move crowds around (much like FP does today) by upping the ticket level of rides with huge lines and/or low capacity and lowering the ticket level of rides losing their luster (and guests).
WDI does continue to use the nomenclature internally, but they don't advertise it as such.
Guests make up their own theories about what constitutes "an E-Ticket" ride either by how much they like it, how impressed they are with it (even though it may be technically unimpressive), or by how long the lines are ("if there are long lines, it must be an "E"!).
Anyhoo... that's off topic. See here...
A-E TICKET ATTRACTIONS
Hello all, It's been a while since I have been on the forums. But I have a question for anyone, I'm trying to find a list or what I can find about what attractions are under what tickets (A-E)? Also I'm only looking at attractions in the magic kingdom, and all attractions new and old...

I know we've seen layouts... but have we had any that show the layout of the new ride over the layout of GMR? Paging @marni1971 or anyone else.
We know the media is filming so why can’t we get video? Again, they cut out before the thing we want to see.

I just want the full experience video
IIRC, @przidentkendall made one in one of his videos regarding MMRR. If you google image MMRR layout, a gif should appear overlaying the new layout on the old one. The gif was a clip of the aforementioned video though, for credit's sake.

"Mickey Shorts Theater" Coming To Disney's Hollywood Studios... But Where? - DSNY Newscast
With Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opening in Spring 2020, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is readying to invite us all to step into the colourful, zany and wonderfully whacky world of the Mickey Mouse shorts. However before we get to enter through the silver screen and ride alongside Mickey...

I can confirm...they weren’t allowed to film at least for the media event.
You're just going to have to wait.
And while you do so... stop populating the threads with your wishing for it.
You know, if you tell someone your wish... it won't come true!!

So basically the layout was purposely abstract from the exact ride layout, but the Alicia Stella of Orlando Park Stop, made one a month ago which is more precise.
What I got wrong in my layout were the Stampede and Carnival scenes, as I used examples from the Mickey shorts, or a running with the bulls "Stampede" instead of a Wild West stampede. And I interpreted Canival Chaos as referring to the Brazilian Carnival that was featured in the Mickey Shorts as well.
NOTE: Alicia's version is created from the other angle. So essentially flipped.

Thank you!
BUT
Wait, that GIF makes it look like they are completely reusing the previous ride layout as was? Is that the case? I thought it was completely gutted and it would be a different layout of sorts.

It's a very similar flow around the building. Not identical, but roughly the same. Imagineering has opened up areas and combined multiple show spaces for one larger show space.
