Disney Opens In-Park Preview for Monstropolis, Tropical Americas and Piston Peak as Hollywood Studios Demolition Ramps Up

A new in-park preview showcases the scope of upcoming lands, signaling construction progress resort-wide.

Overview

  • Disney’s Walt Disney Presents now features models and concept art for Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, and Piston Peak at Magic Kingdom.
  • Monstropolis materials highlight a first-ever Disney suspended coaster with a vertical lift through the Door Vault and confirm the land name on signage.
  • The Monstropolis display omits the previously touted replacement theater for the former Muppet*Vision 3D venue, prompting questions that Disney has not yet addressed.
  • The Tropical Americas model shows an Encanto ride, a hand-carved animal carousel, and a new Indiana Jones attraction set to replace DINOSAUR, which closes February 2, 2026; openings are broadly expected in 2027.
  • Piston Peak is presented as a Cars-themed expansion with a rally race attraction and a family ride replacing Rivers of America/Tom Sawyer Island, while Hollywood Studios’ Animation Courtyard is now fully walled with audible demolition and rerouted guest paths.
