Does this mean they'll tear out the ride?

Nothing is settled yet, they still have to go through the lawsuit to determine if Disney actually did anything wrong and the Slesingers are entitled to damages.

All this is is confirmation that the Slesingers are still in the game. There are likely years to go still before anything is really settled.

And even if they win, they won't be able to give the Disney version of the characters to another licensee, just the Milne version, which is worth considerably less money.

Ultimately Disney and the Slesingers will just come to a new agreement.
