Overview
- At D23 this weekend, Walt Disney Imagineering showed expanded concept art and a mood board that includes a theater marquee reading "Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike," though outlets note the wording could be placeholder material.
- The Glob Theater will be built inside the former MuppetVision 3D building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the exhibit presented the theater’s exterior renderings and a banner reading “Our Chamber of Commerce Welcomes You.”
- Monstropolis will replace Muppets Courtyard and feature a signature "door coaster" described in the display as Disney’s first suspended coaster and the company’s first use of a vertical-lift system for a coaster.
- Imagineering’s exhibit highlighted neighborhood identities, many new business façades and signage, and physical maquettes of original creatures such as a Monster Pigeon, Splitting Hare, and Monster Squirrel to populate the land.
- Disney has not confirmed final attraction names or an opening date and the company may refine labels and details between this concept reveal and any formal announcement expected later during the D23 weekend or in subsequent communications.
