New Work Planned for Tower of Terror

A new permit was just filed for the Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Check out what we know so far about this work.

Tower of Terror

The fan favorite Tower of Terror attraction brings thrills to guests of all ages. This attraction is offered at both Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland's Paris Walt Disney Studios Park.

Back in 2023, Disney began a secret refurbishment for the Tower of Terror. The ride wasn't 100% closed. Instead, portions of the ride close so work can be completed while keeping the attraction open.

As the attraction ran at half capacity, wait times grew.

Hollywood Studios Closures

Whenever we see permits filed for Tower of Terror we get nervous of possible high wait times.

Particularly now that Disney's Hollywood Studios is undergoing so many changes. Animation Courtyard permanently closed on September 25, 2025 to make way for "The Magic of Disney Animation".

This new land will have a phased opening this summer. Muppets Courtyard is being converted into Monstropolis. Rock 'n' Rollercoaster headed to its last concert earlier this month, and now the Muppets are movin' right along in taking it over.

Tower of Terror Permit

A permit was just filed for Tower of Terror listing the contractor as MLC Theming. MLC Theming serves Theme Parks with "scenic painting, aging structures, fabricating facades, carving rock work, and more."

New permit is filed for Disney's Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror.

The current work listed is for "General Construction". Disney has not announced any planned work or possible closures due to this new permit.
