Disney Removes Gonzo, Covers MuppetVision Sign as Monsters, Inc. Land Takes Shape

The on-site changes signal a shift toward expanding Pixar experiences at Hollywood Studios.

Overview

  • Crews removed the hanging Gonzo figure from the MuppetVision 3D clock tower and covered the theater marquee with a black tarp on September 10.
  • The clock structure remains in place, with on-site reporting indicating the facade will be redressed for the forthcoming Monsters, Inc.–themed area.
  • Concept art depicts the former theater becoming “The Glob,” which Disney says will host a new theater show.
  • Plans for the land include a family roller coaster that travels through the film’s door vault scene, according to published artwork and park materials.
  • Stage 1 Company Store has been demolished, and nearby venues such as PizzaRizzo face an uncertain future that could include retheming or removal.
