Get ready to scream with excitement—Disney’s Hollywood Studios is about to get a monstrous upgrade! A towering crane has arrived, marking the beginning of vertical construction for the highly anticipated Monsters, Inc. door roller-coaster. But here’s where it gets thrilling: this won’t just be any coaster—it’s set to be Disney’s first-ever suspended and vertical lift coaster, a groundbreaking addition to the park’s lineup. And this is the part most people miss: while foundational work has been quietly progressing for months, the crane signals a major shift as larger structural elements for both the coaster and its show building begin to take shape.
From the parking lot to inside the park, the crane is hard to miss, positioned near the future home of the door coaster show building. If you’re wondering what’s in store, the coaster’s model was unveiled at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2024, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation. But here’s a controversial thought: will this innovative ride live up to the hype, or will it leave some visitors feeling a bit monstrously underwhelmed? Let’s discuss!
Meanwhile, Monstropolis isn’t the only area seeing changes. Over at the MuppetVision 3D theater, which will soon house a new Monsters, Inc. experience, four mysterious cutouts have appeared on the building’s facade. These square and rectangular shapes, possibly fake windows, don’t seem to match the concept art—leaving us to wonder if plans have shifted during construction. Could this be a creative twist or a last-minute adjustment?
As Disney continues to transform Hollywood Studios, one thing’s for sure: Monstropolis is shaping up to be a game-changer. But we want to hear from you—what are your thoughts on this new land? Are you excited for the coaster, or do you think Disney could have gone in a different direction? Share your opinions in the comments below!
