Aerials Show Monstropolis Coaster Going Vertical at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney has not given an opening date or final lineup for the reworked area.

Overview

  • New aerial images reveal more support columns in place and foundational paving past the halfway mark for the Monsters, Inc. “door” coaster.
  • MuppetVision 3D’s facade is wrapped in scrim and scaffolding, nearby exteriors are stripped to gray, and front‑of‑land paths and landscaping have been cleared, including the Miss Piggy fountain.
  • On‑site photos show crews welding new themed steel on the former PizzeRizzo building, signaling an exterior rework tied to the land’s retheme.
  • The project footprint reaches into a former backstage parking lot, and the ride is described as Disney’s first suspended coaster and first vertical‑lift design.
  • Outlets report dining rethemes from concept art, including Mama Melrose’s to Harryhausen’s and a new quick‑service at PizzeRizzo, but Disney has not announced plans for the MuppetVision theater or an opening timeline.
