Well, yes, but it's not very advanced now. It was back in the sixties, but not now.

They're building an E-ticket in Fantasyland? When was this announced?

Who gives a snot about e-tickets or xyz tickets or whatever else you might want to label them as. An e-ticket is any attraction that you like well enough to want to see again and again. I don't need to have anyone tell me what I like or don't like. I'll make that decision, I don't want anyone to label that for me. Especially when one considers it's a concept that no longer even exists in any practical sense.

Who would've thought that George would become the hide and seek champion of the World. I wouldn't want to get in a game with him esp. trying to seek him.

Sarcasm. It's already been covered.
I have to say, that is probably the worst definition of E-Ticket I have ever read. The Ticket system still gets reference because it describes scope of the experience, not just popularity or personal preference.

Yep, I don't know what that says about Fitzgerald or Cameron, or their creations...

I was being equally sarcastic!

If a Meet-N-Greet character becomes ill, do they simply deploy a mannequin with a strobe light?
Mermaid doesn't come close to Mansion though. Its more like a wannabe-E.
E-ticket queue, C/D ride. Sending mixed signals like so many women in my past. :lookaroun

Sure but I am not referring to yesterdays definition, I am referring to today's definition. Even yesterdays was seriously flawed due to who (or possibly whom) was making the designation. And talk about the sheeple aspect. They put a "e" in front of it and with that gesture conjured up a demand. It could have been a festering pile of cow manure, but it was an "e" ticket and one must want to experience that. Amusingly, it is like saying.."hey, you really want to see this one, the rest, well, we didn't put as much thought in it, not worth the effort really!"
I have a personal list that I go by. It is broken down like this; AWFUL - NOT TO BAD - GOOD - OUT-FREAKING-STANDING. It's not published anywhere and it has no bearing on cost or size of the attraction. It could be a billion dollar one that my internal judgment deems as AWFUL or it could be little minor attraction that I find OFS.
I don't believe that I have ever even referenced anything in the "ticket" definition except on the boards. It is so blatantly obvious that the ticket book was a marketing ploy to get as much money out of the "guests" as physically possible without them knowing that was what they were doing. It also had a secondary reaction of controlling crowd disbursement. Any of this sound familiar?

Oh, I DEFINITELY agree with that statement. Mermaid isn't even in the same league. I was just saying they are both omnimovers.

Didn't I read somewhere that the only reason Tiki room was an E was to recover the global Audio-Animatronics R&D costs that went into it through the higher price point? In other words, there are other factors in what determined an E back in the day

Is it hidden from view? Or are you referring to Rapunzel's Tinkle Tower?
