Honestly I would love to see a Hundred Acres Woods land at a Disney park. I would build it at Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom. What do you guys think?

I like that idea!
It would be so cool to see it happen at any of the Disney parks. I would have the Pooh ride at Magic Kingdom replaced by the Alice in Wonderland ride from Disneyland. Then I would build a Hundred Acres Woods land behind Tower of Terror replacing the Cars show and the backstage area. It would have Pooh's Hunny Hunt and another few rides and some shops.

That's not a bad idea! I never thought of putting it in DHS - I was thinking as a sort of Critter Country expansion towards the Northwest of the MK to eventually have the paths wrap around so Big Thunder isn't a dead end - but I like your idea as well!
Your idea is fantastic as well! I thought it would be nice to have another e ticket dark ride at Studios and it would be nice to have another little kids area as well. Pooh is super popular, he deserves more than just a ride.
Imagine this as a ride for the land! Holy cow it would be so awesome.

That is some neat concept art, actually. Looks like it could make for a river rapids ride, perhaps a gentler one.

Not sure the IP could support a whole, full-sized land unless some of the characters split attractions. Perhaps take the themes of the current WDW/DL attraction and expand upon them. An outdoor bouncing Tigger ride that could involve pestering Rabbit. A scary Heffalumps and woozles omnimover attraction set in Pooh's nightmare. Piglet in the floating honey pot water ride with Eeyore providing some comedic relief in a way that only he can. Might be a little redundant from a story standpoint but fun to think about. I definitely could see a Pooh's Corner/Hundred Acre Wood mini-land.
I agree it would make a really great miniland. It could have a couple of flat rides as well as playground areas for kids to explore like Pooh's house and rabbit's house. Plus shops and restaurants. They could do a Honey shop.

Going down Gopher's hole would be fun. Maybe you figure out a way to "blast" people out.
There's a lot of possibilities for a Pooh Miniland. It would be so cool if Disney would build one.

you could have a chairswing ride themed to the hunny tree.
That would be pretty cool.

I agree! It's one of the most undervalued IPs in the parks

I would like an omnimover version of the Winnie the Pooh ride! That would be cool, with hunny pot omnimover vehicles, using the buzz light year style design, and you are able to control the spinning! But no blasters.
It seems odd how Disney has never built one. The character and franchise are very popular and make lots of money for the company.

Agreed. Hunny Tree could also have a meet and greet area or even restaurant inside of it. Maybe a ride based on the Backson? He would actually make a great theme for a store, given his obsession with random items.

i think a tigger themed drop tower would be cool, and if done right it could coexist with a winnie the pooh ride that goes through scenes, including bouncing with tigger. like it could be a mini tower of terror, where tigger goes on an adventure, that leads to perilous situations.

More consistent bouncing could make a very unique drop tower, constantly going up and down gently before larger bounces.
I could picture the Hunny Tree as a restaurant.
