Comedy at a store closing in Toon Lagoon.

Theming in progress at the Hogwarts Castle refurbishment. Today, and yesterday. Varying colors are applied to individual stones. Additional layers of paint for overall stone color will have translucency. When complete the theming will have visually appealing variations.

Arrow in this photo where repainting of Hogwarts Castle is in open view of the theming processes. Left of the arrow was behind scrims and scaffolding, and recently revealed.

This area of the Hogwarts Castle refurbishment was recently revealed. Arrow at left at a detail that will likely be repainted by use of a boom lift. Two arrows at right where scaffolding was secured to the building's steel frame. Holes to be patched and themed.

Scaffolding fully removed from this completed area of the Hogwarts Castle refurbishment. This area was behind scrims, so there's no way to know for certain, but the repainting process was likely similar to what we can see now in open areas of work.

A 3-photo collage of the graphics at the entrance of the new Universal Legacy Store.

Current theming of the new Universal Legacy Store. Fresh graphic style, which can also be spotted above the scrims at the windows. Seems likely that some items sold in the store will feature this fresh style.
