Aerial Footage Shows Coaster Foundations Taking Shape for Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios
Disney has yet to set an opening window despite visible progress less than a year after Muppet*Vision 3D closed.
Overview
- New aerial video posted December 23 by bioreconstruct shows concrete foundations laid for the marquee roller coaster in the Monsters, Inc.–themed area.
- Disney previously confirmed Monstropolis for Disney’s Hollywood Studios with the land replacing the former Muppets Courtyard.
- The foundational work suggests faster-than-expected movement given Muppet*Vision 3D closed on June 7, 2025.
- Outlets and fans point to a 2027–2028 debut as an estimate, though Disney has not announced an official timeline.
- The progress comes as Walt Disney World advances other major projects including Villains Land, Piston Peak, and Tropical Americas.
