Work Begins for Disney's Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror

A secret refurbishment has now started at Disney's Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror. Find out how this will affect Guests.

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.

 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.

Tower of Terror Permit

Earlier, a permit was filed for the 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."

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

Although Disney has not announced this refurbishment, we now see refurbishment work at Tower of Terror.

Tower of Terror Refurbishment

Today, Guests noticed that refurbishment work is taking place on the columns located in the outside queue close to the attraction's entrance.

Refurbishment work is taking place in the queue for the Tower of Terror.

At this time, the lower columns are covered in scrim, and this does not affect the queue for Guests. It is possible that this could re-route the queue as work progresses.
