Hmm... it's interesting, 'cause I'm a little sadder about the Sub replacement than the Country Bear Jamboree. But that's probably due to my lack of memories with the Country Bears. I know I saw them once, but apparently I was too young for it to stick.

And anyway, I think the Winnie the Pooh ride is outstanding. It might've been better placed in Fantasyland with its dark ride brothers and sisters, but I think it's actually one of the best dark rides in the park next to Peter Pan's Flight. It lives up to the film(s) it's based on, and you can actually understand what's going on in each scene (meaning dialogue bits from scene to scene don't mesh into a confusing bit of chaos). But Pooh's an easy franchise for everyone to bash, so (sadly) I don't expect that to stop anytime soon.

But I think the revival of the subs was a bit botched. I used to love the subs before... but their new version is somewhat... mish-meshed to me. It's weird to see part of the original ride at the beginning and end, with Nemo's story kind of haphazardly jammed in the middle and lacking any particularly outstanding special effects other than lots and lots of projections.

Of course, I'll join you all in mourning the loss of both original rides. But at the same time I'm celebrating the new arrivals with varying degrees of enjoyment.
