Seems like we are defining E-ticket attraction differently.
From the 'classic' definition, not the e-ticket night ride definition...
I would agree with Johare here.
Even though Mission to Mars was a D attraction, the intensity (and horror) and additional elements of the show make it an E attraction.
And although they do possess their own kind of horror, the trams on the other hand I would consider a B attraction due to their speed (as compared to the A attractions, the main street transportation vehicles)

Interesting...since there is no longer such thing as an 'E-Ticket', I wonder if Disney still keeps track somewhere of what they consider to be 'E-Ticket' attractions.

They don't talk to cast members about anything till about a week or a couple of days before it is official.

I just like to say that this is false. They tell us what's going on ..problem is some CM's don't read new memo's or Eyes and Ears or anything...The info is there you just have to look...

I agree that a show could be an E-Ticket. E-Ticket just means "best of the best attractions" Most elaborate, etc. <and I suppose shows could qualify too>
Look at what the Magic Kingdom has for E-Tickets (Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Alien Encounter, Small World)
What is nice is that allot of these attractions can be enjoyed by the entire family TOGETHER!

I'm just waiting for WDI to again design something on the scope of Splash Mountain. I am looking forward to the next 10-15 minute long E-Ticket! With the current trend I don't see that happening very soon. On that Jim Hill Thread, I do not believe any of the new "rumored" attractions fit this bill. Look at EPCOT, they are slowly taking away all of the Family E-tickets and replacing them with either Thrill Rides <Test Track, Space> or Junk <JIYI>.

Boy, I stop watching the boards for a weekend to get married & you guys start fighting. I've deleted a number of posts from this thread that were considerably less than civil & I'm closing it since it has wandered *way* off topic. If you'd like to continue the discussion about what constitutes an e-ticket, please start a new thread.
