When I first visited Disneyland in Summer 1981 the attraction ticket system (A-E) was in its final year and the current system of general admission (then called a passport) was just being introduced. In the guidebook the following attractions were listed as E tickets:
Jungle Cruise
Tiki Room
Pirates
Mansion
Country Bears
Big Thunder
IASW
Matterhorn
Submarine Voyage
Monorail
Space Mountain
America Sings was still open, but although it had been an E ticket in previous years (and rightly so) in 1981 it was listed as a D ticket.
So my question is: if the ticket system was still operating today, which attractions do you think would qualify as E tickets in the DL resort? In making your selection please place yourself in the shoes of a tourist who knows nothing of the history of the park and has not yet developed a sentimental or nostalgic attachment to anything there. This person has come to the park expecting to be blown away by the experience simply based upon its reputation.
Let me know your opinion as to which attractions (not shows or parades) in both DL and DCA qualify. After I've received a few responses I'll post my own list.
