A long time ago in a converted orange grove a crazy man built a
wonderful world so as to strip $$$ from unsuspecting people. He called
it Disneyland.
Today, you just bend over and allow them to suck the $$$ right out of
your
wallet
The original scam was to take a small fee to allow you in, and then
provide you with a ticket book, to redeem said tickets at rides. The
lame rides used A and B tix. The more interesting attractions took a C
or D. For the really hot and desired things, like Matterhorn or Space
mountain, you redeemed the rare E ticket which lived in the back of the
booklet. You could also combine some of the lame tix to equal the E,
but if you had small kids in the pack, some poor fool had to ride the
vomit inducing tea cups, or Dumbo, and squander some of the upgrading.
Knowing that lots of people would like the E ticket rides, you could go
back and buy yet another ticket book, ad infinitum until Dad was about
to smack you, or enough people got cranky and the fireworks began.
The one upside of this scheme was that the tickets were negotiable
paper, and valid the next time you went. My uncle, who lived in the
area had a desk drawer full of partial books of tix, still made us buy
our own.

just what the meaning of E ticket was?
I'm not wet behind the ears, but I don't know what an E ticket is.
Please enlighten me.
