Guys, I think they're just doing a refurb on the tower tops. They've never had a major referb before and are getting a fresh coat of gold paint. It will be done within the next 2-3 weeks. That's it.

I’m probably only person lowkey happy with this lol. I’m not at this resort as often as others, the views this gives is only reason I ride. Yes, all 4 sides too.

Major work on the west tower as I’m passing by it in a boat. Welders look to be doing some sort of work.

Been going to Universal for years but I just rode this for the first time yesterday. Ride is okay. Thrilling for a few seconds or so (and the view is nice) but man, the queue slaps. Bit of a hidden gem I think.

Yes. The queue is an unexpected gem. Actually better than the ride, which as you said, is OK.

So the rumors of the towers being replaced weren’t true huh? I think Doom needs to be updated. Especially the queue.

Tower replacement was never actually rumored, just speculated.

Doom's queue is it's only plus. One of the most underrated queues in theme parks. The queue is better than the ride. I've skipped my Express Pass entry, just so I could walk through the queue.

I enjoy the queue as well, but I really want to see it get updated like Hulk’s queue.

I was the same. I didn't go through the regular queue for the first couple years I rode. One day, the line was only 5 or 10 minutes, so out of curiosity I skipped using my Express, I was
mildly surprised and quite pleased. It's no Potter level queue, but it is quite interesting visually. Not what I expected. Much better than expectations.
