why Pooh??

dentalgirl · 05-26-2003

Does anyone know why the Winnie the Pooh ride is closed at the Magic Kingdom? As soon as the gates opened we headed straight toward Pooh..my daughter loves Pooh...there we are singing "Winnie-the-Pooh...",we turn the corner and BAM!!! No Pooh! It was like the Grizzwalds arriving at Wallyworld..:nooo: I know that ride just opened a few years ago..we are going back in November will it reopen by then?

Yes it will. I believe some loading gates are being installed.

Any idea of when it will be re-opened? We went on it back in June and I was hoping to go back on it again on this trip in July.
Thanks :)

My daughter worked the Pooh ride throughout her College Program this spring semester. Sorry you did not see my post about the Pooh ride being closed for rehab.

While the Pooh ride is relatively new (opened in 1999, I believe), it does use the same ride mechanism from the Mr Toad ride which was in place for years. During this rehab time, they are installing loading gates, a pressure sensitive floor in the ride building, and an additional operations control panel. These are all being done for safety reasons.

The rehab period is scheduled to last til June 27th.
