Overview
- Aerial photos from June 19–20, shared by bioreconstruct and reported by multiple Disney outlets, show a multi‑level steel show‑building rising and the first coaster track piece hoisted for possible installation.
- The enclosed structure will house Disney’s first suspended coaster with a vertical‑launch or vertical‑lift element designed to carry guests through the Monsters, Inc. door vault scene.
- Construction has moved off the foundation slab into vertical work with installed steel beams, diagonal bracing, decking, concrete cores that resemble elevator shafts, and active cranes and boom lifts.
- The project expands into former Muppets Courtyard and adjacent backstage cast parking and includes new venues such as Harryhausen’s restaurant replacing Mama Melrose’s and The Glob theater replacing MuppetVision 3D.
- Disney has not announced an opening date, so the next major markers to watch are further track installations, enclosure of the show building, and formal updates expected at upcoming Disney events such as D23.
