Winnie the Pooh Updates

The queue is going to be better than the ride...

I would say you could make a similar argument with the Indiana Jones ride, although the ride itself also is highly entertaining and very well done.

I've only been to Disneyland once, but I loved the Indiana Jones attraction. I remember the queue more than the ride. Walking through to the load area, I felt like I was living an adventure from the movies, which enhanced the whole experience and really put me in the right mindset for the ride.

If that's the direction they're going with Pooh and other queues, I'm all for it.

I'm very curious.
When we're talking about "interactive" does this mean that we'll be able to somehow interact with these features while moving through the queue?

Or are there going to be AA characters and sets in the queue that are not just static and have movement and sound?

I think it will be a bit of both..

And the bad part is most people will get Fastpass and miss the queue altogether.

 

[DisneyParksFan1]

True! But hey, at least people like you an I won't be missing it!

What?

The EE queue is better than the ride? You must not like coasters in a fantastic setting :lol:

I love coasters and love EE but am very diappointed in the lack of maintenance. When everything is working, I believe that it is by far, the coolest non-looping coaster on the planet. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that but I was trying to compliment the outstanding queue.

Just the big one is the Yeti.... the other effects (that I know of) are always on/off, usually on now

Nice find! I wonder what this could entail. Maybe there will be some simple AAs of characters built into the queue and they'll have conversations with the guests? :shrug:

Of course that would be quite the undertaking of voice actors and very long hours unless they found multiple people to fill in. Would be neat for kids to be able to talk to their favorite Pooh characters while waiting in line though.

Some "Pooh Queue" pics from Friday 10/1

The supports look like new lamp posts.

Thanks for the pictures! But, Winnie the Pooh had an 80-minute queue????
(Look at the first photo, to the far right...)

Could be like Mr Potatohead. Parts of voice actor talent mixed with pre-recorded "shows."

 

[NYwdwfan]

That's what I was thinking. Hmmm..curiouser and curiouser.
