dumbo ride

[AllieV]

I'm curious, what would your idea of an E ticket in the FLE be, because I honestly can't think of one, although I may be corrupted by the fact that I think of an E ticket as a thrill ride, which was dis-proven in a PP.

I'll apologize ahead of time if I'm saying something obvious that you already know, but it occurred to me that a lot of people on here might be much younger than me or may not have gone to Disney in the early early days.

In the 70s, you bought ticket books from the booth like a fair. Their look reminded me of Monopoly money. (the next part I'm making up examples because I can't remember the exact combo or price) Each book cost $5 and had colored/lettered tickets in it. There were 5 pink A tickets for A-coded rides (such as dumbo, Mr Toad), 4 blue B-tickets (Peter pan?), 3 green D-tickets (I think Pirates was classified as needing one D ticket to ride), etc, etc, and 2 white E-tickets (Space Mountain required one white E-ticket to ride). My older sister would trade me all her pinks for all my whites so I could ride dumbo and she could ride space mountain. You had to buy an entire ticket book. Older kids would go around trading their As for Es with little kids in the park.

From what I remember, it was color coded before it was lettered. The letters came later. Then for a brief period, you got string bracelets instead of ticket books and you'd buy colored metal "charms" that clipped on. Those colors corresponded to what the ticket colors were. The pink charm was cheap, the green a little more, etc. Then you could ride all you wanted on those rides that corresponded to the colors on your bracelet.

At some point in the early 80s, it went to a one-price entry (no more just walking around the park for free) which started around $20 I think.

Anyway . . . if you want to know which rides in the MK are considered e-ticket, you'd have to find someone old enough to remember how they were coded back then. I only remember a few.

Again, sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for.

I'm not too upset about that. I figure we got a lot of new theming to explore, and 2 new attractions in Little Mermaid and the Dwarf Coaster.

We are getting two new attractions, but don't forget... we are losing another classic... Snow White's Scary Adventures. Technically, only adding one as the Mine coaster is replacing the dark ride... in another loaction.

And you made my point for me a roller coaster Retheme and a spinner cheap.

Oh. An a new coaster, and a new character dining experience, and a new dark ride...
Yeah. Really cheap...

FYI,

You can do a google search to find images of the old tickets or ticket books which listed the "cost" for each attraction. I'm from the post-ticket era, but it's amazing what you can learn from google.

Fair enough....

...although I'm not entirely sure how "classic" SWSA is since it was redone from the original version to actually make it "less scary"

Yes they are cheap Instead of a huge expansion like CL they were going to put one new ride and several M&G's. They realized the a bunch of Meet and Greets wasn't going to cut it and that noone cares about the Faries franchise so they added the coaster.

My point is they decided to do something great in one expansion CL and the other they decided to do the bare minimum just what was needed FLE!

And God forbid, why couldn't we put in an expansion to DHS (Pixarland, Star Warsland, M&M Land freaking anything!) or AK instead of at MK, where it seems as though it needs the least work out of the four parks.

Well this was really needed in MK TLM will be a people eater and once open you will notice the difference in the lines of SM BTM and Splash.

With that said DAK is screaming for a dark ride my bit would be to Retheme CMM to Pride Rock complete with a Lion King dark ride.

Then add MI coaster and the Muppet Movie ride to DHS!

Disney just needs to clone Disneyland's Casey Junior Circus Train and all will be well
