When it’s refurbishment is done it will have 6 E tickets, as many as DCA. And the best fitting Star Wars Land in the world. 😉

DCA only has 5 E Tickets, not 6; Soarin', Grizzly, Incredicoaster, Racers, Guardians. In 2022 when Marvel Land is done and the Avengers coaster opens, DCA will then have 6 E Tickets. Plus 14 other B, C or D Ticket rides (Little Mermaid, Goofy's, Jellyfish, Zephyr, Swings, Pal-A-Round, Inside Out Flyer's, Midway Mania, Carousel, Mater's, Luigi's, Trolley, Monsters Inc., and a Spiderman spinner)

DHS will have 2 other rides, a C ticket clone of Mater's and a D Ticket family coaster. And a Star Wars Land wedged in mere steps from the aged whimsy of MuppetVision and a vague tribute to a downtown LA streetscape conveniently missing the gang graffiti, meth addicts, and angry hobos yelling at street lamps.

I haven’t heard of a Spider-Man spinner. It’s more likely that Spider-Man will be an E ticket based on rumors and that ride patent that was floating around. So that would give DCA 7 E tickets.

Pretty sure I'm only going to end up riding RSR and the RCT when I go to DCA. Maybe Incredicoaster using Single Rider. There's just too much at Disneyland I'd rather do. The 15 minute wait for MB just isn't going to be worth it when I can be using that time on Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln or riding the Mark Twain.

Now that I think about it the E ticket classification doesn’t really work anymore. How can GRR and Splash Mountain both be E tickets? Either GRR is a D or Splash is an F ticket.

I think the fan community needs to come up with a new system with about 3- 4 more tiers. We need an F, G and H ticket.

I still haven't subscribed to the "A quality, high budget attraction is an E ticket" way of thinking- since the ticket system was used to maximize revenue for each attraction. There was a huge variation between the E tickets when they were actually in use. It was determined by popularity, not quality (although quality impacts popularity). So instead of using E ticket to describe an attraction that's good, I try to use the term to describe an attraction that I'd pay more money to go on than most of the others in the park.

Using your water attraction analogy- two boat rides, Jungle Cruise and Pirates- were both E tickets. While one was a technical marvel that changed the game, the other relies on figures with limited motion and has a huge variation in ride quality depending on the skipper. But nonetheless, both were E tickets.

What's more likely, is that Pirates, Haunted Mansion, the Railroad, etc. would be D tickets while the newer major attractions would be E. After 40+ years, it's unlikely that people would be paying whatever the 2018 ticket book price would be to re ride attractions for the hundredth time.

I also imagine that there'd be a lot more incentive for Disney to maintain, overlay, or replace attractions since each ride would be judged based on the revenue added to the park.

Splash and GRR are both the only water ride in their park, so while placing them at the same ticket level is an kind of insult to Splash's quality- both are high capacity, popular water attractions that command long wait times during the summer,.

A bit of a side note- On a different Disneyland discussion group, a group of people were actually saying that they prefer GRR to Splash. Blasphemy, I know. I was shocked.
