Overview

• Most previously missing elements have been restored, including the skull props, the golden Abu Fab 50 statue, and carved accents on the right supports.
• One decorative straw piece on the right support remains absent, with on‑site reports indicating it could return soon.
• Visible updates include a new canvas banner with refreshed coloring and lettering, a replaced straw “mane,” brown ropes in place of white, and repainted support patterns.
• The gateway was removed in early August and reinstalled in phases through mid‑September, with props returning incrementally after the main structure went back up.
• Imagineering shared behind‑the‑scenes images of the stitching work as the project aligns with broader Magic Kingdom refreshes that also include Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, and area changes near Rivers of America.
