Exterior refurbishment work continues at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios, with new scrim covering and missing decorative elements now visible around the attraction. The ride remains open to guests despite the ongoing facade work, though the duration and completion date for the project remain unconfirmed.
What work is taking place at Tower of Terror?
The refurbishment appears focused on exterior detailing and facade elements throughout the attraction. Several decorative flags normally attached to the building's facade have been removed, leaving empty flagpole mounts visible along the upper balcony areas.
Brown scrim has been installed around portions of the exterior stairways and railings near the exit corridors. Additional scrim has been wrapped around parts of the lower archways and support columns beneath the terrace area.
How does the Tower of Terror refurbishment affect guests at Hollywood Studios?
Guests can continue to experience The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror throughout the refurbishment work. The attraction remains operational with normal operating hours, though visitors will notice the visual impact of scaffolding and scrim around various exterior sections.
The work extends beyond what guests see during their visit. Earlier this month, refurbishment work also began in the attraction's outdoor queue area, suggesting a comprehensive exterior maintenance project.
When will the Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror refurbishment be complete?
Disney has not announced a completion date for the Tower of Terror refurbishment work at Hollywood Studios. The duration of the project also remains unconfirmed, as does whether this represents routine maintenance or addresses specific structural issues.
The scope of work visible around the facade suggests this is more than a quick touch-up project. However, without official details from Disney, guests should expect the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror exterior work to continue for the foreseeable future whilst the attraction continues normal operations.
