Purple Scars and First Bricks at Studios

A-hyuck, Hollywood Studios is dressin' up twice at once! The Tower of Terror's gettin' a vibrant purple repaint bringin' back its original 1939 lightning-scar look — spotted fresh from Sunset Boulevard, with scaffoldin' still huggin' much of the tower. Over in the Monsters, Inc. corner, first bricks are laid on an octagonal fountain for the Monstropolis entrance plaza across from the Glob Theater, and a new courtyard's risin' up in front of Archie's Scare Pig Pizza. Meanwhile snow machines and Christmas lights are goin' up ahead of Jollywood Nights, startin' November 7. One Halloween-to-Christmas pipeline in a single park — even I couldn't goof that timeline up. Studios runs 9 to 9 tomorrow, so waddle in early and gawk at the tower 'fore the crowds catch on.
