I was there when they put the dome up, and I agree it looks so much more like TOT now.

I've got a few photos too but someones beat me to it

According to Disneytheque, La Terrasse will be demolished to make way for a series of Hollywood façades similar to those of Hollywood Pictures Backlot at Disney's California Adventure.

Well I saw the blueprints and i hope they'll go on with it! Get rid of the bloody Terrasse and bring some TRUE decorations in this park!

[Anthony]

So it's true?

I'd heard a small group of sets was planned for the area between Disney Bros. Plaza and STT, but never would have guessed La Terrasse could be up for the chop.  I'm surprised again with just how much they want to shake the park up - on a WDS scale, sets like this would be incredible.  At the moment you just have to huddle around Les Parapluies de Cherbourg and pretend there's more. hehe

So now the question goes from "will they repaint La Terrasse?" to "will they demolish La Terrasse?"

I also noticed these little details when I visited:



Are they new because I don't recall seeing then before.

what? scaffolding?

I think RnRCj means the dark brown art deco pieces on the tops of the building columns.  They were added in the last few days definitely - thanks for the up-close photo!  I love art deco designs.

From Elessar on DCP, all 3 domes are now in place:



I would never have expected all 3 to be added in one day - I thought the photo was photoshopped at first.  The third dome doesn't even have any kind of concrete building beneath it yet! :?

[RnRCj]

I don't think all 3 were put up in one day. The dome at the top was put up on Thursday for sure, and the other 2 were probably put up on Friday.

Just a guess, but I think they may leave it this colour and let it become "weathered" naturally, this is what they've done with Big Thunder Mountain - just cleaned it and let it develop it's own darker colour.

Perhaps this is why they are rushing the painting now, leaving a year for it to become weathered?

Nope.

Everything is done in layers, essentially. And this first coat of paint is the very first layer. In a few months they'll wrap the Tower back up and start work on the real weathering and themeing.

They're following the same construction pattern as the Tower of Terror in California, so if you look up pictures of its construction you'll see them doing the same thing.
