Monstropolis Construction Advances at Hollywood Studios as Coaster Foundations Take Shape

Disney has not announced an opening date for the new land.

Overview

  • Fresh aerial photos show multi-layer concrete pours, rebar grids, and conduit installation progressing for the Monsters, Inc. suspended coaster’s show building behind the park.
  • Extensive scaffolding and stripped facades are visible across the former Muppets Courtyard, including at the ex–Gonzo’s Royal Flush area, PizzeRizzo, and the Muppet*Vision 3D theater.
  • Staged streetlamp-style lighting and four newly dug square holes outside the former PizzeRizzo patio point to upcoming infrastructure work.
  • Disney previously described the door-vault attraction as its first suspended coaster and first vertical-lift coaster for Walt Disney World.
  • In a separate project, the new Walt Disney Studios Courtyard elsewhere in the park is slated to open on May 26, 2026, with exterior work visibly nearing completion.
