The Many Adventures
of Winnie the Pooh
[Disney Vacation Planner]
| At A Glance |
Great and much loved ride,
but unfortunately, replaced the venerable classic Mr Toad's
Wild Ride. |
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, opened in Fantasyland
on 5th June 1999, replacing the earlier and much loved Mr
Toad's Wild Ride, which had been in the Magic Kingdom ever
since the park first opened in 1971.
Like its predecessor, the new ride is inspired by a classic childrens
story, this time written by A. A. Milne. The ride focuses on a
voyage through the Hundred Acre Wood in Honey-Pot shaped vehicles
during which many of the events in the books are retold in classic
Disney style.
Along the way guests encounter a Blustery Day. Owl's toppling
house, bounce along with Tigger, appear in Pooh's dream of Heffalumps
and Woozles, save Piglet from the rising water in a Floody Place
and, finally, arrive at one honey of a party with the whole gang.
It's a great ride, which uses some great motion effects in the
ride vehicle to simulate bobbing around in water, tigger bouncing,
and the blustery day itself.
