Scaffolding Reaches Tower of Terror Marquee as Exterior Repaint Advances

Visible primer and protective coverings show Disney is restoring the ride’s facade while keeping the attraction open and guest areas clear.

Overview

  • Work crews have extended scaffolding across the front-right side of the Hollywood Tower Hotel facade and are actively repainting sections that currently show brighter pink primer.
  • Protective tarps and scrim cover decorative windows and scaffolding is positioned away from guest walkways so the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror remains open to visitors.
  • Observers report the scaffold now reaches the elevator-shaft area beneath the ride’s marquee, marking the latest phase of an exterior refresh that began after a May queue refurbishment.
  • Disney filed a construction permit earlier this year and crews are applying base coats now that will later receive the attraction’s intentionally aged finish.
  • The project affects the look guests see from Sunset Boulevard but not ride operations for now, and visitors should watch for any future Disney updates about scope or closure timing.
