Perhaps what the OP is refering to is the next Mountain as opposed to E-Ticket.
I think MK is long overdue on it's next Mountain, the last being splash back in 1992. And considering MK is at "negative one" E-Tickets since that debockle of deleting 20K, it's past due on another Mountain.
Unfortunately, Space's referb will be billed as a New E-Ticket and MK will stay at "negative one" for another 5 years.
You won't see a new mountain at MK until attendence starts to dip (perhaps due to potterland).
In the Last five years or so, Disney has added Everest, Lights Motors Action, Soarin', Mickey's Philharmagic, Mission Space, that Nemo clamshell ride, Turtle talk, an entirely new show and overhauled theater for the Nemo Musical, Jedi Training Acedemy, soon to be Toy Story Mania, Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, American Idoal coming soon, overhauled multi Use theater in DHS, and not to mention the major overhauls to existing rides like Pirates. Thats a heck of alot of additions for those who campare a roller coaster addition , or a new ride or two to nearby theme parks. Disney World appeals to alot more people than those interested in Roller Coasters. Relax, Disney's been adding stuff all the time, it just has wider appeal, and some of it might not be for everyone. And thats all I have to say about that.
Isnt there a hush hush e-ticket in the works for world showcase? There was a flood of electronic babble about that for Japan not too long ago or a ride in Germany.
However, I am in the same boat as most of you...it is weird that Disney hasn't announced anything major with Sea World building a new coaster, not to mention Aquatica, and IOA bringing Harry-freaking-Potter. People will be lined up in droves for that. Disney needs to get some spotlight shining in their direction. They will still outdraw all their competition anyway, so perhaps they don't feel the need to spend big bucks for the time being.
You know it really kills me to hear people say that anything with a screen is not an e-ticket. Disney has always prided itself on being on the front of cutting edge technology. Interactive games and 3-d technology is what's cutting edge right now. I cant wait for the day that we will be able to maybe combine a ride story like dinosaur with the shoot-em up idea like TSM. I know its not the best example but I think that imagineering is heading in the right direction. Don't get me wrong I don't think that everything should just be computers, you do need to have plenty of physical elements, but the future is coming why not embrace new technologies? :shrug::shrug:
Now, most people would consider the Nemo Subs at Disneyland an e-ticket attraction, but if Disney itself is shying away from labeling DCA's Little Mermaid attraction an e-ticket or giving Toy Story Mania that label it calls into question the Nemo Subs having that status. At this point, the titles are relative. I remember hearing a podcast that was listing the likes of American Adventure and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln as E-Tickets, however their most recent popularity (and extinct status of the former) would kind of negate that.
Now a days, the impression is that if it's a Mountain, it's an e-ticket, but at this point I'm not sure if WDW's Space Mountain, or either stateside Thunder Mountain's would qualify. The Matterhorn also could arguably be on the bubble as well.
Could you please name the 3 E tickets built before that and dates they were announced we can then see if there is a pattern. Was mission space the last one to be built?
