Overview
- Disney announced at D23 that Monstropolis will open in phases sometime in 2027, with most of the land arriving before the headline suspended door coaster.
- Coverage and new aerial images published on Sunday show the former Muppets Courtyard still covered in scaffolding, trenches and construction equipment, indicating heavy exterior and infrastructure work remains.
- Crews are installing plumbing and visible utility lines in the central courtyard for a future fountain, which underscores that core behind‑the‑scenes systems are not yet finished.
- Disney has confirmed specific guest experiences for the initial phase, including the Glob theater show featuring Mike and Sulley with an original Randy Newman song, plus rethemed restaurants and retail such as Harryhausen’s and the Scareporium.
- The suspended door coaster will be a later milestone and is billed as Disney’s first suspended coaster with a vertical lift, so Disney will rely on dining, retail and entertainment to draw guests while the coaster is completed.
