Overview
- On July 23, on‑site photos and reports showed scaffolding covering much of the tower's upper‑right facade and additional lower sections.
- Crews have wrapped the exterior columns in the pre‑lobby queue with construction scrims and placed equipment partway up the tower, signaling a large exterior effort.
- Despite the work, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror remains open and operating with no reported queue closures or impact on ride availability.
- Disney has not released details or a schedule for the work, and permit/vendor records point to routine preservation contractors such as MLC Theming and a phased approach to limit guest disruption.
- Exterior refurbishments are common for aging, highly themed facades at Walt Disney World so guests should expect visible scaffolding to continue as part of broader maintenance and park refresh activity.
