You've got to be kidding me! I kinda don't like Muppets. The best part is the two old men in the corner...and the penguins at the beginning.

Wouldn't the sun wheel be 2 different categories? Would Rocket Rods be an E since it was a thrill ride?

The way they turned out...I would give them a C or maybe a low D if there was such a thing.

Now the original designes with the banked tracks, effects, theming, etc...We should have had an E-Ticket on our hands!

Monorail is very much an E in my book.

I would have to disagree with you on many of your ticket assignings. Roger Rabbit B? Splash D? But, I guess it is your opinion.

Check out Werner Weiss' Yesterland site (yesterland.com) for information on the old "A"-"E" ticket system.

Only comment on attractions is that a lot of the Frontierland stuff was "D" level - Tom Sawyer Island Rafts, Columbia and Mark Twain. Old mine train (prior to Big Thunder Mt.) was usually "E" but late in life went to "D" as Pirates and Haunted Mansion appeared. Same for Fantasyland dark rides - Pan, Toad and Snow White were all "D".

Hard to believe but Abe Lincoln "ride" was an "E" when it first appeared in California after the 1966 New York World's Fair
(Small World and dinosaurs of Primeval World were, like Lincoln,
contract jobs that Disney did for, respectively, Pepsi, Ford and state of Illinois for NYWF attractions).

These were all "C" by the mid-sixties.

Just out of curiosity, have you seen the 'new and improved' version?

No, I haven't seen the new version... so it's basically rated by the old one

Great Moments with Abe was an E ticket at one point? That is odd, I remember they were marketing watches of E ticket attractions and Abe wasn't one of them.

Personally, I'd agree with DisneyFreak2000, except that I'd put Boudin in as at least a B or a C, drop Superstar Limo down to a B or a C (unless it's been improved), bump Golden Dreams up to a D, and put the Tortillas into a special category all their own: they GIVE you an E-ticket for putting up with it!

I've seen the new version, and I definitely agree with DisneyFreak2000 that it's a B. I think C would be pushing it, and I'm shocked that it was ever an E.

Pacific Wharf Beer Truck : E+ (Especially the Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale) Avoid the Kirin, it's brewed in Van Nuys by Budweiser, if you are going to buy a Anheuser-Busch beer, get a Michelob Amber Bock.....

Everything else....

A ticket without a beer

B ticket after a beer

C ticket after two beers

D ticket after three beers

E ticket after four beers (except Superstar Limo, the Avalon Cove Bar needs to be open for the shot of Tequila....)

:D

Hard to believe now, but back when he was first created he was quite unique, no one had seen anything like him. Even by todays standards that a machine can do and be so believable, makes you stop and say wow! (Or at least it does me.)
