An expanded, themed queue and new merchandise location are well underway at the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Disney Adventure World. Both are set to open in 2026.
Additions Coming to Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
As announced in 2023, a new covered outdoor waiting area will open in Spring 2026 at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This themed area will enrich the story of The Hollywood Tower Hotel, by representing the remnants of the Patio, that was once a relaxing courtyard with an outdoor pool, greatly appreciated by the show business elite, but fell into disarray.
Per Disneyland Paris News, every material element has been carefully selected to fit with the theme, and to echo the Pueblo Deco architecture of the premises. The props and elements of decor disseminated in the queue will give more clues about the tragic events that occurred at The Hollywood Tower Hotel – preparing guests for what’s awaiting them inside.
Next door, the new merchandise location inspired by the 1930s flower shops will also open early 2026. The existing structure has been completely reworked to create a boutique harmoniously blending into World Premiere Plaza and its Art Deco-inspired theatre district area. It will offer an authentic atmosphere thanks to an array of props scattered around the boutique, including flower bouquets, pictures celebrating its historical milestones, and even a fridge similar to those used by Californian florists at the time.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror opened at Walt Disney Studios Park in 2007 and is a near-clone of the former Disney California Adventure version of the attraction, which closed in 2017 to make way for Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission Breakout.
This is one of many projects underway at the upcoming Disney Adventure World, currently Walt Disney Studios Park. World of Frozen and the rest of the Adventure Bay expansion will open on March 29, 2026. Walt Disney Studios Park will also be renamed Disney Adventure World that day.
