==Attraction History==
The idea of a dark ride based on Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise began in the late 1970s. Following the popularity of the Winnie the Pooh movies, Imagineers began to make plans for a Winnie the Pooh attraction to be added to Disneyland's Fantasyland. In fact in Disneyland's 1976 long range master plan noted that"a new dark ride type attraction possibly a Pooh theme with 900/hour capacity would be added near Casey, Jr. <ref name= "hill"/> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2003/08/04/168.aspx#sthash.3HtXHepG.dpuf </ref>. With Fantasyland scheduled to go under a significant renovation soon, and it was assumed that the Winnie the Pooh dark ride would be added then. When Disneyland's Fantasyland re-opened in 1983 however, there was no Winnie the Pooh ride present.
Although the attraction was not built, the idea of a Winnie the Pooh dark ride was not dead. In the late 1980s, Imagineers once again began making plans for a Disneyland Pooh ride. This time the attraction was going to be located in Disneyland's Toontown Fair. The new Winnie the Pooh rid would have allowed guests to travel through what were deemed the three best scenes in the movies in a spinable honeypot <ref> https://books.google.com/books?id=XqaWtV6Om1sC&pg=PA162&lpg=PA162&dq=1970s+Disneyland+Winnie+the+Pooh+attraction&source=bl&ots=IS3Z7p_e-P&sig=wo0q7AUXQ9ZSGIrA-wxJeQXLLPw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY8-Sl2ovKAhUJPCYKHdsoAf4Q6AEITzAM#v=onepage&q=1970s%20Disneyland%20Winnie%20the%20Pooh%20attraction&f=false </ref>. Once again however, the attraction never came to fruition and the location earmaked for the Pooh attraction was instead home to Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. <ref> http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-20/news/ol-18247_1_toon-spin </ref>
