Overview
- Disney confirmed at D23 in August 2026 that Monstropolis will begin opening in phases starting in 2027, with some guest-facing elements arriving before the headline ride.
- The Glob Theater will debut a new stage show titled “Welcome to Monstropolis,” created by Mike Wazowski and Sulley and featuring a Randy Newman song written specifically for a theme park.
- Confirmed early openings include two dining venues—Harryhausen’s table-service restaurant with an Audio‑Animatronics sushi chef and Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza—and the Scareporium merchandise shop.
- Construction milestones visible on site include scaffolding removal and an operational clock on the Glob Theater tower, while the Monsters, Inc. Door Vault suspended coaster remains under active build with no public opening date.
- The project repurposes the former Muppets Courtyard and Muppet*Vision 3D building and uses in-world story tools such as H.U.M.A.N. Day and the Monstropolis Horn to seed characters and narrative ahead of guest entry.
