- Most of us know Winnie the Pooh as a slow-moving traditionally styled Fantasyland Dark Ride but in Tokyo Disneyland, their version implemented a brand new never-before-seen ride system. This is Pooh's Hunny Hunt.

I love how traditional and classic this looks while being completely modern in it's technologies. I wish Disney would do more of this, we can't lose the classic dark rides but the new technology shouldn't be ignored either.
Exactly. I love the charm of the fantasy land rides and the pace. I think they could still make new dark rides that have immersive stories and incredible sets like this that honor the old fashion rides.
Exactly! Just like movies! Just because something is shiny and new doesn't mean you should skimp out on the tried-and-true practical effects! The best attractions are the ones that incorporate old AND new! =)
I love the dark water rides like its a small world I wish there more, I know their hard to maintain but I prefer them to modern ones.
@@crispysquidoftheacidcats295 Yeah! I mean, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" right? =)
Rise of the Resistance really dates this ride tbh utilizing almost all of Disney's technologies in any of their rides other than Runaway Railway which is more of an experimental ride.
fun fact: the last room on the ride where pooh is surrounded by honey, actually smells like honey
Wow, that is so cool!
That is wild!! Talk about detail oriented
right?? I was absolutely floored when I was like "am I smelling honey ??" then after the ride I googled it and saw it indeed is made to smell like honey :O
That makes it like you were with Pooh eating honey!
Honey does sound taste sweet🍯🍯❤️❤️
I think Tokyo is so good because of respect. They respect the original source material and more importantly the guests. Where as magic kingdom and the like know they don’t have to put much effort in as the guests will come regardless
Disney in Orlando used to be more than just a money grab, but unfortunately the Disney World of my youth is long gone
I feel so lucky to have ridden this ride just before the pandemic happened. I cannot believe this ride is over 20 years old. It has aged very well and still perform better than "newer" rides in WDW and DW.
Huh?? Walt Disney world & Disney world? Lol
To be fair for the WDW version, they had to work with what they had with a pre-existing building unlike Tokyo Disneyland's version
"Just over 21 years later ..."
Silly, it hasn't been that long ... oh wait. 2021 minus 2000 is 21 years. I feel really old.
oh bother
I remember riding this YEARS ago and was amazed for so many years. This ride is so many years ahead of its time, and unfortunately not duplicated in HK nor Shanghai
Kind of surprised Xi allows the Winnie the Pooh rides at all...
@@toddgunther8272 he's not banned like most people think he is. You're just not allowed to compare him to Xi.
The technology is used in mystic manor in Hong Kong I think
Mystic Manor got the trackless tech, I rode there before. It's really cool-
Funny that this came out only one year after the Many Adventures ride and is infinitely more impressive.
Yeah, I always thought it was funny. Like WDW building the attraction and Japanese people be like "bitch please"
I rode it multiple times and I honestly think it's even better than Ratatouille. If not better, at least on par
Man, Japan always gets the cooler Disney rides, another reason I want to visit someday.
Correction: they get the most generous budgets and not the greedy corner-cutting, revenue-maximizing mentality of US parks management.
@@itswhatitis277 Again, that Disney Plus Imagineering series striking in how they're totally frank on in the 2000s, the US Imagineers jealous of the budgets the Tokyo guys got to play with.
@@itswhatitis277 Not Only that, Tokyo Disney also has the best merchandise, the best guest service and the best Cast Members, things American Disney will never have regardless of budget.
Japan gets the cooler Disney merchandise half the time too
Oriental Land Company really know how to make attractions. I’m so jealous of Tokyo.
And this is why we need an Imaginear at the top not a businessman who only cares about hiking the prices and nickel and dimming guests…this ride might be expensive but Tokyo and China have mind blowing ride experiences I hope to ride again one day
I'm not a POOH fan at all. But I was there on the day this attraction opened in Tokyo. It blew me away. The Tigger scene is the best!
I disagree with the statement made about missing the beat because of the language barrier. I don’t speak Japanese and this is still one of my favorite Disney rides in the world. It never gets old. It’s an E ticket that set the bar high for a trackless ride and has not been duplicated since. Only mystic manor in Hong Kong Disneyland comes close to the show elements.
This ride blew my mind when I first went on it. The scene where Pooh's soul leaves his body? Iconic. Definitely the highlight of our visit to Tokyo Disney Land!
“Japan spends $120 million to make fun of President Xi”
Bing Chilling!
I traveled to Tokyo Disneyland years ago to see all the animated props I designed and built for Tokyo Disneyland It's A Small World and the Winnie the Pooh ride blew me away. It was my favorite ride in the park.
Bless the Japanese for there love of quality while chapiek over here in North America cheapens the parks worse than a six flags.
Such a wonderful ride! Even after all these years, it's one of the most popular rides in the park. I go often to Tokyo Disneyland (near my house in Tokyo) and this ride is always packed.
The jumping section is brilliant!
I live in kansai and go to Tokyo Disney several times a year and I really like this ride! But yeah it is so popular so I don't ride it every time
quite a clever effect.
This ride was always so busy, I lived in Fussa and went very often to Disney, the ride was always over an hour wait so my family was just not willing to wait 1hr+ to ride a five minute ride.
Thanks for reminding me the magic. I rode this a year after it first opened and had goosebumps all over. I didn't know how to process the jumping scene. I didn't know if I was imagining or the vehicle was actually jumping. But over time, the magic wore off and I just stopped appreciating as much. This video reminded me the first experience again. Thank you
This is actually the only version of Pooh I've ever been on, and it spoilt me on trackless ride systems ever since!
I went on this ride in 2002 and I remember how fabulous it was. I knew I was riding something truly spectacular. I would love to go back and ride it again someday. Its still the best dark ride I have ever been on. And unfortunately Disney Sea wasn't open yet as it was still 6 months before that park was opened, so although I got some special merchandise, I never got to go to Disney Sea.
I truly believe after riding this ride myself, as I lived in Japan for about six and a half years with the military, this ride is definitely everything it lives up to be. This ride has interactive ride vehicles, sprays out honey scents, and is a trackless dark ride system. It may be as Magic Kingdom is the only replica of WDW to give the Japanese that “authentic American” look. Tokyo Disneyland has a sister park beside it, Tokyo DisneySea, and is definitely unique to its kind. I truly believe a video screen does not do this Winnie The Pooh ride in japan justice, and you truly have to see and ride this attraction in person to see the full beauty of it.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is my favorite Disney movie, so I want to ride this so so bad. It really looks like it capture the essence of the art style and animation perfectly.
I had heard about this ride and watched a POV last year, I genuinely thought it must have opened in the past 5 years. Completely shocked to hear it’s 21 years old.
The trackless ride vehicle goes *so well* with the chaos of the heffalumps and woozles scene - you're truly unmoored!
Honey popcorn sold outside of the ride tastes amazing. While on its queue line, you constantly smell sweet honey odor which came from honey popcorn machine.
I love how they took a risk with the understated introduction, and the nods to classic dark ride design. I hope rides with a strong artistic drive keep getting made.
I’m grateful to have ridden this attraction, and just visiting Tokyo Disney Resort as a whole. I was extremely impressed with this attraction. Also, that honey popcorn is amazing! You can smell it in the whole area.
BTW the cannon blast within the Heffalumps nightmare is not guaranteed... If you get blasted count yourself lucky. 😶
“Winnie the Pooh was more expensive than Expedition Everest”
It’s
WHAT
I know right? I ride the pooh ride at least twice a year but I would never think this attraction would be more expensive than... let's say, splash mountain, space mountain, or big thunder mountain.
Sometimes I really wonder where Disney is burying all that money. Their rides are awesome. I went to Tokyo in 2019 and Pooh was amazing, but that's a crazy amount of money.
All that money to not fix the Yeti.
@@patrickmuhlbeyer9262 Doesn't The Oriental Land Company finance the Tokyo parks? Disney just rents out their IPs to them. OLC is the one that burns money to make sure that the ride design doesn't cut corners,
@@ralelunar also labor in Japan is so expensive, maybe that’s part of the cost
I went on this ride in 2019 and it is one of my absolute FAVORITE rides out of any theme park I’ve been to (and I’ve been to a lot 😅). It’s truly beautiful and amazing. This video does a great job but seeing it in person is 10,000x better
Never understood, why they do not treat their own classics all that way, they did with this Pooh-ride. These old movies are treasures! But the rides are more or less underwhelming. Just imagine a Pinocchio whale rafting, a Cinderella mouse chase, a Bambi zhrough the Sensors riverride...
honestly this ride doesn't feel like it's 20 years old?? it feels like it matches up with some of the more modern rides today. anyone who's visited is super lucky to have gone!
Still feels like a new ride! No mention of the smell?? That’s one of the coolest things about that ride!!
The smell? What are you referring to?
@@e-mananimates2274 it smells like honey lol
@@e-mananimates2274 the last room on the ride has a sweet honey fragrance, it's actually rlly nice
@@mels_89 Oh, I see. I wonder if it's real or something more artificial.
@@e-mananimates2274 I feel like it's artificial, I'm not very sure about that though.
Went to Tokyo Disney in 2008, rode this ride with not previous expectations and was blown away. The most impressive part was the bouncing room. Felt so real and not real at the same time. Can't really explain it to anyone who hasn't been on it. The rides in the US as a massive disappointment in comparison, and people that I talk to about the Tokyo version think I'm nuts.
I'm going to bookmark this video to help explain it.
Omg 😭 I never wanted to go on a ride more! Winnie the Pooh was always my favorite thing as a kid
Alice's teacups need to go trackless now. Have them go through a scene or two from the story then gather in a large circular courtyard to simulate their current ride movement 20 seconds, then dump all the guest off into a gift shop full of Disney Merch like most Disney rides already do. The late rabbit can be blasting on the intercom telling guests to get out and hurry to make room for other guests.
I rode Winnie first in Tokyo and loved it. So I was excited when it came to Florida. But after riding it there, I was so disappointed. Surely, once you have a prototype, it can't be that expensive anymore to build it a second time. And why give WDW a lesser version? Such a shame!
This is awesome.... a trip into my childhood. Kids today will never understand Pooh .. at one time Pooh was tracking to be bigger then the mouse. So Disney had to slow Pooh's roll....
BRO~! Winnie the Pooh at Tokyo Disney is ALWAYS the LONGEST LINE in the park!!! (though that may have changed after the new beauty and the beast ride opened, haven't been in a long time) But regardless the ride is AMAZING and the line to ride it says everything!
The Second longest line is the Hungry Bear's Curry restaurant by the Country Bear theater, lol People would think they were waiting in line for a ride, but nope~ ALL FOR DAT Hungry Bear's Curry~!!
Just gotta say all your content is great..well produced and totally binge-worthy lol never disappoints..
I wonder how it compares to it's newer sister the Enchanted Tales of Beauty and the Beast just next door in Fantasyland? How I wish I could travel
I prefer the new beauty and the beast one, especially when the beast transforms into a human (I got goose bumps)... its like they took the pooh dream sequence and brought it up a notch. That being said, poohs honey hunt is still awesome.
@@IkePaz The same effect is done in the Pooh ride when he falls asleep and goes into dreamland.
Best channel EVER!!!!
This is older than Hong Kong's and Shanghai's normal type of Winnie the Pooh ride.
After all of China's recent aggression, I never would've thought Japan would dedicate a ride to Chairman Xi Jinping.
-200 social credits
Burn level: charred
I've been there in early 2000s. When you were waiting in line for this attractions, there was popcorn stand near by that also sells honey butter flavor popcorn. The smell was intoxicating and memorable.
Will def ride this when I'm back in Tokyo! COVID is such a bummer
When I first saw the video' years" ago on YT. I said it was part of my "bucket list" I've told friends that I'd like to see all Disney parks overseas. The attractions are "plussed" as walt Disney once said of how to top your own attraction! The state side ones are charming, as you say this one has the NextGen "WOW!" factor.
How cool would it be if certain Disneyland rides that have speakers in their seats you could ask to be in like English modes on this ride and then the ride would be in English for you due to the fact that it's not an omnimover system
The way how the background bounces and thrives and the colours that shine their shingles…
12:48 Was I the only one who could smell Honey in that scene?
Me too!
they pumped in the smell before... however during the pandemic it seemed to have been turned off
When we went to TDL the line was long but we were able to watch Dream Up Parade from the queue. 😆
I've been to both Disney parks in Tokyo and they are amazing. Here in the U.S. we don't get as much at Disney parks due to greed and NIMBY, sadly.
This ride looks INCREDIBLE
One other cool thing--in the final scene where Pooh is in the Honey tree, they blow in a strong aroma of honey, so it actually feels like you're surrounded by it. It's a nice touch that really brings the scene to life.
I wonder why Disneyland Paris never got a Winnie The Pooh ride
Especially since people can go from Paris to London through an underground tunnel.
11:16 ‘hanishifu’…? Pretty sure he keeps repeating ‘Hachimitsu dorobō’, which does mean honey thief.
@Tokopimv You are correct. I have no idea why they said, "hanashifu."
Love all your content! Keep up the great work!
That looks a little more fun than the one in Disneyland!!
I truly agree with everything you said in this video! As a child, every time I went to TDL, I'd at least get on Pooh's hunny hunt two to three times! One year I was so obsessed, I got on four times!!! Luckily my mum's a good sport and accompanied me four times in fast-pass lines and regular lines. Plus that yummy honey smell at the end
Winnie the pooh,being a european ip,it surprises me he hasnt got a ride in disneyland paris.
ive been thinking the same thing!
That's because Disneyland Paris has no money to build a Pooh Attraction.
@@Lil_Angry_Bitch had no money. Disney is now investing big in Paris.
@@danmorley6517 Only in Walt Disney Studios, though. The main Disneyland Park hasn't seen a major new attraction since 1995, if I recall correctly.
@@Codraroll true, but the idea Paris has no money is incorrect. Disney fully owns it now and are investing going forward. It might just take a while for that misconception to go away.
It’s a nitpick, but it bugs me. It’s the hundred acre WOOD not woods
Was thinking this throughout the whole video. It's a singular title, not plural.
-and this ride is FANTASTIC!!! Always my first ride of the day at TDL! 😎
Makes sense that this is more expensive than Everest. Trackless ride system, more animatronics, said animatronics actually work… :p
I want to go on that ride SO bad! 😩It’s amazing! 🤩
I can’t believe this cost more than expedition everest, considering how much they put into that yeti 😭 this winnie the pooh ride looks beautiful though, it puts the one here at MK to shame
When a culture appreciates history but also wants to be cutting-edge, and when theme park profits are re-invested back into the theme parks instead of propping up other unprofitable divisions in the company - you get Tokyo Disney Resort.
This is incredibly well-edited
I’m sooooooo jealous that they get this version of the ride
Dude WHAT that ride looks so sick
ReviewThyme can you do a ReviewThyme Video on DisneyQuest.
I still remember going to Disney land and riding the whinny the Pooh ride with my family. When we got off I noticed my little brother was in tears, at first I thought the ride must have scared him but after asking my parents they said he just wanted to ride it again😂 Granted he was much smaller back then I still think he would love this:3
*The Heffalumps and Woozles scene from Tokyo Disneyland instead of a dream it’s a nightclub jazz party where they eat honey for their own desires🩵❤️*
I really need to go on this, Winnie the Pooh was my life as a kid
I remember the first time that I rode on this I was blown away. It is a must see now every time I'm there.
Fun fact: there's actually a typo in the queue on the book pages that I discovered.
And this is what started the trackless dark rides system
I love both the old school version and the new one. They’re both amazing and fun in their own way but I would love to experience that new ride someday❤️
Well, Pooh bear says “hachimitsu dorobou” which means honey thief… not “hanishifu”
It’s so beautiful and innocent I’d love to ride this I love Pooh Bear 💕
I've been to this one as an adult but it was honestly great. Especially because that was also the first time I've seen trackless ride like that.
Ride aside… that facade is INCREDIBLE
this is the only winnie the pooh ride without the rain scene
Happy 22nd birthday to Pooh's Hunny Hunt! 🥳
oh my
I want this in original Disneyland so bad.
"All the best stuff is made in Japan" - Marty Mcfly
Am Glad to See that the people of Japan Enjoy Winnie the Pooh Bear this is a Very Cool ride but unfortunately for me I'll never be able to ride it considering I'm an American and I'm in America plus I don't speak Japanese either so I couldn't understand anything they said oh bother
Come on Disneyland step it up it's time.
I still love the Disneyland version of this ride because I don't think I could handle that much of the Woozles. 🙈 nightmare fuel!!! ❤
i hope this is how they do the princess in frog theming for the splash mountain overhaul!!
-120 million social credit points was the real cost
Another great video guys!
I wish I can get on this ride someday!!!
9:02 Like everyone else in the world my introduction to these characters was as flat animated 2-dimensional characters so it never occurred to me whether or not they felt/looked like actual stuffed animals so it frightens me a little that that one little aspect makes or breaks the illusion for you.
😭😭😭😭😭 I wish I could be there!
Mr toads wonderful ride was my FAVORITE when i was little...i was HORRFIED when they changed it to Pooh lol
I was lucky enough to experience this ride and while it's incredible I'd say that Mystic Manor is the best utilization of the trackless ride system and the theming on that ride is far more superior.
good job
They need to bring this over to disney world
One of my favorite rides when I was little! Went to disneysea last week, should’ve picked disneyland instead.
I like how it just becomes pooh decent into insanity
What is sad is that Disneyland was supposed to get the Tokyo version.
They to work with what they had with a pre-existing building unlike Toyko.
@@KaminoKatie or start from scratch like they had planned. There are images/artwork that it was supposed to be the tokyo version
