Disney's Hollywood Studios - Construction is underway for the new “Monsters, Inc.” roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. This project involves transforming the former Muppets Courtyard into a Monstropolis-themed area, featuring Disney’s first suspended roller coaster inspired by the Door Vault scene from the animated film.
Renovation of Muppets Courtyard
The renovation of the Muppets Courtyard into a Monstropolis-themed area represents a change for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As part of the development, the Stage 1 Company Store has been demolished, and Muppet*Vision 3D has been closed. The Muppet*Vision 3D building is slated to be re-themed as “The Glob Theatre,” which will host a new show based on the “Monsters, Inc.” franchise. Additionally, there are plans to install a new fountain in front of The Glob Theatre, designed to resemble the previous Miss Piggy fountain.
Construction Updates and Site Preparations
Construction of the “Monsters, Inc.” roller coaster is in progress. Site preparations for the coaster’s show building are currently taking place, with debris clearance and infrastructure setup being the initial focus. Work on the foundation is ongoing, which will support future installations. The coaster is planned to occupy an area formerly used as a cast member parking lot, and a new pathway is being developed for guest access to the attraction.
Timeline and Future Developments
The project was announced in 2024, but specific completion dates have not been disclosed. Updates on the development of this new Monstropolis-themed area are expected as construction continues. The “Monsters, Inc.” roller coaster is planned to be a new feature at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with its distinctive design and thematic elements.
