In your opinion, what makes this an e-ticket attraction?

A warehouse is an E?

let me stretch my eyes before rolling them
I think if it is a must ride on the majority of able body people's list. So I think all three mountains qualify as E tickets as they remain so.
As you mention, maybe not if it were open today, but it can maintain that as it is established.

One thing I think we have all been calling for with Disney is a thrill type ride and I don't mean Slinky Roller Coaster which I do like, but to say that is a thriller coaster would really do going overboard. Now here it is on its way and I have to say I am pretty excited about it. Even though I have really started to really start to enjoy the newer concept rides likes Ratatouille and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Train this is a long time since really the last thrill roller coaster in 1999 which was years before I was even born.

Define e-ticket attraction in your own words then we'll go from there.

Noted.
The term "thrill ride" is relative.
So, when you compare any WDW coaster to the ones with huge drops and loops... none of them are a 'thrill coaster.'
Perhaps RnRC and EE are thrill-ish because of an inversion or going backward, but the rest, including BTMR are "family coasters" and Goofy is a "kiddie coaster."
When it comes to drops, none of the family coasters are close to a thrill coaster. Their "thrill-lite" status comes from being in the dark (Space Mt) or bunny hops of air time (Slinky). For BTMR and Space Mt., they're rough because they throw you hard left and right (and with Space Mt, you can't see it coming).
Disney's new iron-clad rule of "family friendly" will mean WDW won't be seeing a thrill coaster like you may see at Great Adventure or Busch Gardens.
As for TRON... it's just another "family friendly" coaster which has the gimmick of riding motorbike style and the TRON theming. Otherwise, it's as 'thrilling' as Slinky.

I think you are somewhat correct, especially with the Goofy coaster. I guess when anything is new it can also be thrilling. Maybe in a different way, but still thrilling. So in that sense the Tron coaster will be thrilling.

Not only that, but the Tron coaster will be beautiful.
It's a tremendous update to Tomorrowland.

The only part that looks good is the canopy and it will be mostly hidden from view from most areas -- I think it will only be really visible when you're actually right in front of TRON; the placement makes it seem like it won't be visible at all from most of Tomorrowland. The unthemed warehouse will likely be more prominent.

I agree. I think that they are not done with the warehouse as well. Add in whatever themed music that will be going on around the attraction it will be nice for sure.

They’re done with the warehouse. Those metal panels are not designed to support much besides themselves.
