Big Al’s in Frontierland Closes as Demolition Prep Begins for Piston Peak Expansion

The teardown clears space beside the Cars-themed Piston Peak build, signaling wider changes to guest flow.

Overview

  • The small merchandise kiosk by Country Bear Musical Jamboree did not reopen Monday and disappeared from Disney’s website and park map.
  • Construction walls now surround the stand as crews prepare to remove the structure beside the active Piston Peak work zone.
  • Westward Ho still shows hours through June 22 on My Disney Experience, which suggests it could be the next closure as work expands.
  • Notices of Commencement filed earlier this year list Disney’s in-house Buena Vista Construction Company for work at Big Al’s, Westward Ho, and the churro cart.
  • The kiosk traces back to a 1971 ticket booth, and its removal follows last summer’s closure of Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island for the Cars-themed land.
