Photographer @bioreconstruct<\/a> on X shared final detail work underway earlier this week. All scaffolding is now down from the castle towers.<\/p>\n

The entire castle was repainted but the color scheme did not change. During construction, the castle was temporarily surrounded by scrims and scaffolding<\/a>. By early May, most of the scaffolding had come down<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The castle\u2019s ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, remained open during the project.<\/p>\n

The nearby bridge was also refurbished<\/a> and closed during work. It\u2019s back open now, connecting the Wizarding World and Jurassic Park. There is still some scaffolding covered in black scrims on one side, however.<\/p>\n
