I imagine the craft pilot loads and goes.

It would certainly be an E-Ticket ride from 150' if it included the backflip! 
(Not sure the youngsters know what an E-Ticket is, though.  )

I think I still have a stack of A-tickets stashed somewhere. They did away with the separate tickets about the time our son was old enough to use them.

What are those?
Our son HATED Disneyland. He was 4.0 through Middle School and High School and almost every year the school sponsored a trip to DL for them. He never went. We took him once when he was 5 or 6. He spent so much time standing in line with his nose in some fat woman's butt that he begged us to never take him there again. Saved us a Caiman Islands bank account load of money, though. 
The A-tickets are left over from my early years in LA with visiting friends and family.

Disney started Magic Bands a couple years ago. It's a fit-bit ticket tracking system. You can go to a kiosk and check which ride is low on traffic and "reserve" a spot in line.
Additionally, I am sure Disney is plotting everyone's movement in the park for flow to/from attractions, for better human traffic engineering.
