Ride walkthroughs
Florida
The ride vehicles go out of the load area, and arrive near a giant story-book showing Winnie and Christopher Robin. The vehicles arrive in the hundred-acre wood during a rather blustery day. Piglet is holding onto a pole while being spun around. Pooh is holding onto a balloon while trying to reach for some honey, while Eeyore patronises him. Roo begins to be blown away while Kanga holds onto him. In Owl's home, everything is scattered about... including a rather curious picture of J. Thaddeus Toad himself handing a deed over to owl. This was placed as a tribute to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, the ride that Wiinie the Pooh replaced.Then you pass a second giant storybook page, where suddenly Tigger bounces out. The ride vehicles at this point begin to bounce like Tigger. You follow him throughout the hundred-acre wood, where he randomly pops up anyway. He also bounces upside down at one point. You move to Pooh's home, where Tigger has pinned Pooh to the floor and tells him about Heffalumps and Woozles. Once you are in Pooh's house, Pooh then falls asleep, and magically then floats up into the sky, as the room blackens. Pooh floating is accomplished by Fiber-Optics.
The ride vehicles then move into a strange room as Pooh floats into the room. There are objects with eyes and mouths, while giant woozles with jack-in-the-box necks move in front of the guests. You move round very strange objects, even a purple woozle lights a heffalump, causing a giant smoke ring to come from its trunk, and a giant heffalump has holes that reveal the way out of the heffalump scene. Other funhouse effects are seen as the vehicles make an escape out of the heffalump scene, indicated by an umbrella and a watering can pouring rain over a pot of honey.
The vehicles arrive in front a cloud pouring (projected) rain over a tree trunk. The ride vehicles begin to "float", although this is achieved by moving the vehicles at a steady speed. Eeyore patronises the wind, followed by the rain. Roo, Rabbit, Tigger and Owl attempt to save Piglet from floating away. The ride vehicles move to find Pooh flying around due to the wind.
The vehicles move into the final scene, where everyone apart from Pooh is celebrating the rain going away. Piglet, Eeyore and Rabbit are animatronics, while Tigger and Owl are illustrations on the wall behind. The vehicles move past Pooh enjoying a load of honey, before arrving back in the load area.
California
Upon leaving the outdoor load area, the ride vehicles arrive indoors into the hundred-acre wood where Pooh is again trying to get the honey with the balloon. With Eeyore and the other characters is Gopher, appearing out of his hole to greet the guests. The ride vehicles move into the rain scene, moved from the second to last scene in Florida's to the second scene in California's. Most of the things at this point are identical to Florida's. The ride vehicles move into the shortened Tigger scene, before moving to Pooh's bedroom where a similar part to Florida's concurs.
The ride vehicles move into the Heffalump and Woozles where the woozles with jack-in-the-box necks watch the guests. This version of the Heffalumps and Woozles scene as this is more towards the Heffalumps and Woozles, with the abcense of the objects with human eyes and mouths. A pink Tigger pings Pooh to the floor, near a load of honey. Some of the effects at this part are similar to Florida's, minus a large balloon carrying Pooh above the guests at one point.
As the ride vehicles leave this scene, behind the guest's on the wall above the exit to the Heffalumps and Woozles scene, is Max, Buff and Melvin - audio-animatronics from Country Bear Jamboree, where California's Pooh ride now stands. The vehicles enter the start of the finale scene where Pooh is enjoying a smackarel of honey. You see the Heffalumps flying off into Pooh's dreamland. Then, several of Pooh's friends tell him to wake up. Proceeding on, you see Pooh's bed, before moving on to show Pooh's friends (all animatronics this time round) celebrating his birthday. As the vehicles move to the Load area, several of the gifts Pooh received for his party are shown, and are moved back as the vehicles continue until they finally reach the load area.
Ironically,the ride takes you through clips from the movie.
