It’s said that Walt Disney was inspired to create Disneyland while sitting on a bench watching his young daughters ride the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round. Walt wanted a park filled with things the whole family could enjoy together. |
||||
|
But, even in Walt’s park, some attractions would be for a limited age group. At Yester Magic Kingdom, there’s an attraction designed just for 2-to-5-year-olds—with benches for their parents. It’s Pooh’s Playful Spot. |

You might wonder about the name above the door.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of
(“What does ‘under the name’ mean?” asked Christopher Robin. “It “Winnie-the-Pooh wasn’t quite sure,” said Christopher Robin. “Now I am,” said a growly voice. “Then I will go on,” said I.) |

Once again, the book provides the answer:
“Because my spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places. |

Pooh’s Playful Spot isn’t for everybody—but for its target guests, it might just be the second best attraction in the whole park. The best attraction, of course, is anyplace in the park with a family of ducks. Quack, quack. |

Pooh’s Playful Spot opened at Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World on September 1, 2005. |

The site of the playground had originally been part of the lagoon for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (October 14, 1971 to September 5, 1994), the Florida counterpart of Disneyland’s Submarine Voyage. After the ride closed—“for repairs,” until it became clear it would never reopen—the lagoon sat idle for ten years before being removed and filled in. As the replacement for one of the park’s biggest E Ticket attractions, Pooh’s Playful Spot was exceedingly modest. It served its purpose—a place for 2-to-5-year-olds to release energy under the eyes of their parents. There was good design work. And it probably generated some merchandise sales at the nearby Pooh’s Thotful Shop.
Pooh’s Playful Spot did not last five years. It closed permanently April 11, 2010. The next attraction on the site would be much more elaborate. |

Part of Pooh’s Playful Spot lives on. About a month after the playground closed, Disney brought in a crane to move the impressive 120-ton tree a short distance to become part of a new exterior for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The ride lost its old tournament tent façade and traditional Fantasyland queue. Its noisy interactive queue is either fun or annoying, depending on your point of view. |

Pukhov Square in the city of Peresvet
The life of the city of Peresvet is inextricably linked with the exploration of outer space. Therefore, the theme of space became the main idea of the project.

project authors:
Mirrorgroup/A. Dalneva, R. Kazakova, R. Romanyak, V. Larionova, L. Laane, M. Efimova, together with Tesler Architects with the participation of P. Gordeev
The city of Peresvet (before 2000, the village of Novostroyka) is located in the north-east of the Moscow region on the territory of the Sergiev Posad district, the population is 13,411 people, among them more than 5,000 children.
Founded at 1948 for the construction of a test center for rocket and space technology. Residents of Novostroyka took part in the creation and launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, the spacecraft on which Yuri Gagarin made the first space flight in history. The city-forming enterprise is the Research Center of the Russian Communist Party, the leading enterprise of the Federal Space Agency for testing rocket engines, spacecraft, and satellites.
It is not surprising that the main idea of the design project for the central square in the city was the theme of space. Namely, the layout of the planets in the solar system. nine0003
To the plane of V.A. Pukhov projected the orbits of the planets. Each new point of attraction has an individual function and an analogy with one of the planets of the solar system.
The stage “Sun” is located in the center of the square, the slide “Uranus” and the playground constellation “Hercules” are placed in the children’s zone, the swing “Saturn” and the amphitheater “Jupiter” are placed in the youth zone, and the monument to V.A. . Pukhov – an outstanding resident of the city of Peresvet. nine0003
The surface of the square is made of poured architectural concrete, which has built-in spotlights that imitate the starry sky.
It was from this square that the first improvement of the city began in 1957. It is not only a popular place for citizens to relax and hold social events, but also a key location for the daily routes of city residents, as well as a kind of “gateway to the city” – the destination and departure point for all intercity routes

History
The city of Peresvet is located in the center of the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region. 10 km. from the city of Sergiev Posad.
The city of Peresvet (until 2000 – Novostroyka settlement) was founded in 1948 for the construction of a test center for rocket and space technology.
Most of the residents (testers) took an active part in the creation and launch of the first artificial Earth satellite and the spacecraft, on which Yuri Gagarin made the first flight into space in the history of mankind.
An invaluable contribution to the prosperity of the Novostroyki was made by the Doctor of Technical Sciences, Lenin Prize laureate, talented organizer Viktor Alexandrovich Pukhov, director of the NIIhimmmash Institute since 1963 to 1975
Victor Alexandrovich organized the improvement of the village, provided asphalting of roads and sidewalks, planting trees, shrubs, flowers. Under the management of V. I. Pukhov, the village looked like a well-groomed European settlement. In memory of the legendary V.I. Pukhov, grateful residents of the village named the central square of the village after him.
In March 2000, by a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the village of Novostroyka was given the name – the city of Peresvet. A new stage of development has begun. The city got its name in honor of the legendary warrior Alexander Peresvet, the hero of the Battle of Kulikovo. nine0065
At present, urban public territories are territories where time stopped at the turn of V.
I. Pukhov.
In connection with the 70th anniversary of the city of Peresvet, as part of the activities of the project of the Government of the Moscow Region “Formation of a modern comfortable urban environment for 2018-2022” and the municipal program of the administration of the city of Peresvet “Formation of a modern comfortable urban environment of the urban settlement of Peresvet for 2018-2022” the concept of improvement of public areas of the city was developed. nine0003
Concept
V.A. Pukhov formed the history of the city, which is inextricably linked with space exploration.
In terms of the area named after. V.A. Pukhov, the orbits of the planets are projected, on which points of attraction are determined, each of which has individual functions and an analogy with one of the planets of the solar system.
Scheme of the general plan
The stage “Sun” is located in the center of the square. The functioning of the scene is divided into periods.
At the time of events and concerts, it is a stage area and in everyday use the stage is a dance floor or a sports area (for example, yoga). nine0065
Behind the stage is a fountain – a cracker.
On the planet “Earth” there is a monument to V.A. Pukhov – a man who has done a lot for space exploration.
In the children’s area there is a slide “Uranus” and a playground constellation “Hercules”.
The swing “Saturn” and the amphitheater “Jupiter” are located in the youth zone.
