Disney Razes Muppet*Vision 3D Courtyard to Make Way for Monsters, Inc. Coaster
Longtime visitors call the cleared site a poignant reminder of the attraction’s legacy.
Overview
- The former Muppet*Vision 3D area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been completely demolished, with facades, pavement and the Miss Piggy fountain removed.
- Recent aerial photographs show a debris-strewn zone resembling a “disaster area” after crews gutted the courtyard in early August.
- Fans have described the destruction as “gut-wrenching” and “devastating,” reflecting deep nostalgia for the 34-year-old attraction.
- Disney plans to open a Monsters, Inc. land in 2026 featuring its first suspended roller coaster based on the film’s door-filled factory.
- The company also confirmed a 2026 retheme of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster with Muppets characters to keep the franchise in the parks.
