I see a lot of people posting whether or not they “feel” like an attraction is an E ticket or not. But what does Disney actually classify them as? What is the criteria they used to use (the facts)?

I’m sorry I’ve never delved this deep into the ticket rating system.

I would imagine that SR is an E-ticker not only based on how expensive it cost to make, but on the fact that it is using some groundbreaking tech to render such high quality visuals in real time. You might see it as a “video game,” but Star Tours is a pre-rendered film and this effectively allows you some control over the actual “flying” of the vehicle. That alone is impressive. Discounting the interactivity just because you don’t think much of it and haven’t experienced it yet doesn’t make it not an E-ticket.

If Universal has the ticket rating system, I’m sure they’d consider Gringotts an E ticket. But as impressive as the queue is, I don’t think the ride is really all that great. It feels like you are on a kiddie coaster that keeps making stops in front of giant screens. But does that discount whether or not it would be an E ticket? It’s popular and it was definitely expensive!

Gringott's ride system is amazingly complex.

Don't forget that the original purpose of the ticket books was to spread crowds around the park.
If all attractions were the same price, then everyone is queuing for the same attractions and the smaller stuff gets ignored. So in ticket book terms, E-ticket can just mean popular. Rides and attractions also got reclassified as they got older and less popular.

That's to bad, its my wife and my favorite ride at Uni. To each their own. I will preface that we are not coaster fans (Hulk/Hollywood Rip type coasters).

It’s one of those rides that feels like it’s a screen ride simply because it feels to me like the whole coaster stops every time there is a screen. I would have preferred it never stopped or only once. It was also an incredibly tame coaster. But I mean I love SDMT and it is tame. The new Hagrid ride should be more fun.

Thats fair, I think its unique enough for us that it still is a thrill to ride it. There aren't many rides that at the World so we tend to gravitate towards it. I can't wait for Hagrids Coaster, that looks like it might be the perfect balance of aesthetic and thrill.

So anyway... what is happening, if anything with Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad?

Well, apparently they delayed it for lack of interest. You see, they found this thread here and have been monitoring it. When everyone went off topic and started talking arguing about E-tickets, Universal rides and such, they looked at each other and said "Why bother rushing to complete this project?!?! See, even the MMRR thread doesn't care!"

In all seriousness, topic please:)

That happened to me on the ride before too as our car got stuck backwards on the finale scene. I was actually scared blasting off backwards in the finale. They let us ride again too but we literally had to walk through the staircase and down some stars so they can drop us off where the 3D glasses are given. Was cool seeing areas guests are not supposed to see.

Hey I didn't go through all 224 Pgs of replies.

Will we be getting meet and greets with these versions of Mickey and Minnie?

I love the look of the new shorts but they're so off model compared to the mickeys we usually see in parks.
