Overview
- Photographs from mid-August 2026 show curved, M-shaped steel ribs now in place at the coaster’s load and unload station, matching the concept model first shown at D23 in 2024.
- The visible pieces sit inside a steel show building that is already rising several stories above the Hollywood Studios parking lot, with multiple large cranes still operating on site.
- Disney previously revealed technical details during a SXSW 2025 panel, confirming the attraction will be the company’s first suspended coaster and will use a vertical lift to hoist riders from the station into the ride.
- Disney is reportedly targeting a 2028 opening for the Monstropolis land that includes the coaster, but that timeframe and other details have not been formally confirmed by the company.
- Fan and industry outlets have documented the on-site progress with photos and reporting, and a fuller official reveal of the coaster and related Monstropolis elements is widely expected at this weekend’s D23 presentations.
