It was always 1)How advanced it was and inversely 2)How much it cost to maintain.
Thirdly you shouldn't use wikipedia as a source for anything.

Rainbow Ridge Pack Mules

And since tickets do not exist anymore, its a moot point. But I will say this. If Disney decided to charge more for different scale attractions today, TSMM would be on the list of the ones they would charge the most for. It would cost the most to ride alongside Tower of Terror. It would be the most expensive level of ticket in the park.
And Wiki is as good a source as any, when it's sourced such that everyone can put their own level of confidence in it's validity.

I love that the fact that a)you bring up the mules which were expensive to maintain and operate ie. one of the two factors I mentioned b)the quote you used from Wikipedia wasn't sourced c)tell me that it would be an E-ticket based on popularity d)then discredit it by stating it would be.
Well word for the wise TSMM is a C-Ticket...

I believe they're going to wait until after movie seven comes out before they break ground on any new attractions… Just in case it flops, you know?

So you're telling me that because Stitch's AA is very advanced, it is more along the lines of a D or E ticket attraction? And you're telling me that because Peter Pan's Flight holds no advanced technology that it is an A ticket attraction despite it's amazingly long waits?
You can either view "tickets" two ways now...
1) Completely based on personal views
or, the way the actual Disney company would view them..
2) Popularity.

Well, when I write my paper to publish in Theme Park Ticket Science Quarterly, I will not use Wiki.
But since we were discussing something that is no longer in use, but used as a popular conversation term, I think wiki is ok to get the idea of what the general usage of the term is. If someone can get me the Disney handbook that clearly defines how Disney classifies its rides in 2014, I will happily use it.
And note I did not say that popularity was the only defining factor. In fact, I did not actually give my own definition, I questioned someone else's because it ran contrary to what I've always seen used. My point was that popularity has a part to play in the current usage of the term in the modern Disney community.

I'm sorry.. But I think Toy Story Mania has far more advance technology than Peter Pan's Flight.. Mainly in the ride vehicles themselves. Even the wii-cannons (haha. pun.) are more technologically advanced than Peter Pan's stable statues and plastic doll models.
The most technologically advanced thing that Peter Pan has is black-light colors and a model of a city that's been easily copied by Universal for E.T.
Your only next step is to throw in the "age" factor... Where my argument would be that the quality of the attraction would then decrease over time.. Think Carousel of Progress, or Soarin'.. Once AMAZING attractions that are now considered pretty dated and worn... Mainly because they're never updated. An example of upgrading their attractions to keep them at a high ticket-rating could be Hall of Presidents, with it's upgrades in the show every time we get a new president. They pay attention to it. If a ride never gets payed any attention, it'll lose quality. Like Peter Pan.
But, since Peter Pan is an amazingly still-popular attraction, it's probably considered a "D" ticket attraction. Unlike Hall of Presidents which is very technologically advanced with its AAs, but by all means not popular at all in the theme park, it would be considered a "C" ticket attraction because it's not that popular.
When did they add that? Can't wait for June.

They upgraded the tin-foil volcano to use a space age synthetic tin-foil like polymer. It can sense the rider's emotions as they pass by.
It doesn't do anything with that information, but it can sense them, they swear!

Multiple AA's versus bog standard 3D screens and accelerometers

If those AAs are considered advanced technology, I think that means that It's a Small World might just be the most advanced creation in the history of theme parks.

At least on those "3D screens" the characters move... Which makes those screens feel more advanced than PPF.

There was a house around here who had halloween lawn decorations more complicated than in Peter Pan's Flight.
