Overview
- The Door Vault coaster reached a key milestone Friday as crews installed the first tall black support columns, with bioreconstruct’s aerial images showing multiple supports anchored on a large concrete foundation.
- Additional steel and coaster track remain staged in backstage yards near EPCOT, indicating more rapid installs as vertical assembly continues across the massive building pad.
- Disney has billed the attraction as the resort’s first suspended coaster, and reporting points to a vertical lift inside a fully enclosed show building designed to evoke the film’s door vault.
- The Monstropolis project replaces the former Muppets Courtyard/Grand Avenue area and pushes into a cast parking lot, while scaffolding and exterior stripping on the old Muppet theater and nearby facilities show active retheming and interior scenic work.
- Disney has not announced an opening date, and timelines cited by observers remain unconfirmed, though guests can already spot the rising supports from the Hollywood Studios parking lot and, in some cases, steel staged along the Disney Skyliner route.
