/* Attraction History */
Seven years after the last attempt at a Winnie the Pooh dark ride, Imagineers once again pitched the idea. This time, they wanted to build the attraction in Walt Disney World. Although Walt Disney World's Fantasyland had enough space to build the new attraction, it was eventually decided to replace the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride attraction. Although an official reason for this descion was never give, it has widely been accepted that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was chosen for replacement due to the fact that Pooh would be a more marketable character than Mr. Toad <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/mtwr.htm </ref>. Despite Mr. Toad fan protests (as well as some bad publicity) <ref> https://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/toad/ow/ow971218.html </ref> Disney closed Mr. Toad's Wild Ride on September 7, 1998 <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/toad.htm </ref>. Mr. Toad's show building and ride structure were then reused, and on June 5, 1999 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh officially opened <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/mk_pooh.htm </ref>.
 
On November 23, 2010 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was given a new interactive queue. Sections in the new queue included: Tigger’s Bouncy Place, Rabbit’s Garden, Eeyore’s Gloomy Place and Pooh’s Hunny Hives <ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/11/behind-the-scenes-the-many-adventures-of-winnie-the-pooh-at-magic-kingdom-park/ </ref>. At this time, the large tree that serves as Pooh's house was relocated from the recently closed [[Pooh's Playful Spot]] and relocated to the entrance to the queue. Almost as soon as the new queue was installed, Disney decided to close the Tigger's bouncy Place portion of the queue due to safty concerns. That area remained closed until when the section was repurposed for a Pooh meet and greet.
