More lighting has been installed atop the various towers and buildings that frame scare zone locations in Universal Studios Florida.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley doesn’t usually house a scare zone, although Death Eaters do roam the land. Outside Diagon Alley, near the old Amity Island restrooms, we spotted one tower with lights on top.

An artificial light tower stands in the sunlight beside green foliage. In the background, people walk near a colorful building. The sky is clear and blue.

Another tower with lights is around the corner. These are also near the former Fear Factor stage, which is expected to feature another “Nightmare Fuel” show during Halloween Horror Nights.

The last sign of construction we noticed was a tower behind Ghiradelli, next to Supercharged. We first saw a Halloween Horror Nights tent here in early April.
