Not sure if there will be more or what this set up is exactly

The last segment of the episode is played on the Autopia electronic billboard



The segment stated starts at 39:28

Inside the Autopia circular shaft, the episode is also displayed in the three windows.
Gone are the Chevron animated car segments

At this time Autopia went down due to technical difficulties.
Something happened with the removable track piece that allows the Cast Member to pull off cars.
So they had to get their maintenance guys to come out.

Not many people were in the queue so they gave everyone a readmission pass.
Only 8 cars had Guests and they were able to make it to the end and got evacuated off.

With Autopia down, I decided to continue on.
Onward to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!

I touched something sticky while on my way towards Hungry Bear restaurant.

Not really paying attention, I almost ran into this little setup
I guess since the fence doesn't continue to the rocks, they have this set up to act as a barricade

So I shall head back

Thought about using my readmission pass, but there wasn't much of a line so I decided to just wait it out.

This is the track piece I had mentioned earlier.
I am not exactly sure what happened, but from where I was in the queue, a couple Cast Members were huddled around it before claiming the attraction was down

  2. Wow they butted right up to the chalet. I wonder why they don't demolish it. It looks like from one of your pictures those blue buildings on the right are getting demolished. Are they they the only buildings that remain on your way to Critter Country?

    1. There is / was a service road behind the Skyway, so maybe because it isn't "connected" with the construction site, they have no need to touch it at the moment.
      Even though it is hidden behind the trees and it isn't being used, I am happy that it's still there.
      Although I don't know how I would feel if it was demolished. But I can wait to find that out.

    2. I kind of wonder if it will somehow be incorporated into the new Fantasyland once it is built, however it does seem pretty far away from the rumored area.
