Country Bears’ Eviction May Make Way for Pooh
Country Bear Playhouse, the popular Disneyland attraction that features audio-animatronic bears singing and playing banjos, is closing to make way for a new attraction, officials said.
After a 29-year run, the Country Bears’ last performance will be Sept. 9. An almost identical attraction at Walt Disney World in Florida will continue operating, officials said.
“Disneyland has always had a policy of working on new projects, expanding the parks and adding new attractions,” spokesman Joe Aguirre said.
“Sometimes existing attractions have to make way for new ones.”
Officials said plans for a new attraction have not been finalized. Some observers have said something like the Florida theme park’s “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” would fit Disneyland’s Critter Country theme.
