We don’t know exactly what the ultimate goal is here, but fortunately fun views of Space Mountain aren’t obstructed in the least.

Where are you, Sonny?

But fret not, space friends. According to Cast Members, our favorite lounge-singing alien is just visiting family in his home galaxy, and should be back soon!

Everybody needs a break, after all… even Sonny Eclipse!

Speaking of unique creatures, Joffrey’s Revive Coffee & Tea kiosk is currently serving the Unicorn Donut.

We also found a…

Chocolate Coconut Muffin

… well, we don’t exactly know. Is this Chocolate Coconut Muffin a polar bear? Is it a bunny? It cheered us up to learn that the Cast Member we spoke with didn’t know either 😉 . In any case, you’ll never hear me argue with chocolate and coconut!

And here is the latest look at quick-moving construction for the TRON coaster.
