crapshoot posted a breakdown of the budget for the Pooh ride over at LP, followed by a fascinating discussion of how much money was spent simply tearing out the cool CBJ stuff rather than building from scratch. In the end, they spent practically nothing on the new show itself, but a fortune on destroying the old one! :

>>Here is what I have heard how and why Pooh cost $30,000,000.
1. Site Preparation - $18,000,000
2. Ride Vehicles - $5,000,000
3. Attraction Theming - $2,000,000
4. Cost of Disney Labor- $5,000,000
1. Site Preparation is down right scary. The original Pooh, as a ride through concept, utilized the rake of the theater floors as an integral part of the trackway. That way they would use the elevation changes to their advantage.
That idea got canned early on and it was determined to simply level the floors of the theaters. The cost for demo, leveling, plus the track install and queue construction was $18,000,000. That is the cost to Disney for the outside Contractor construction service. WOW!
2. Ride Vehicle construction and theming.
3. The Disney Labor includes attraction design, WDI and TDA project management as well.
4. And a big whopping $2,000,000 left over for attraction theming.<<
