Disney Removes Muppet*Vision 3D Marquee as Monstropolis Build Begins

The teardown marks the start of a Monsters, Inc.–themed overhaul that Disney has announced for the area.

Overview

  • Crews have taken down the longtime sign from the former Muppet*Vision 3D theater, with new on-site photos showing a bare facade and exposed mounting plates.
  • Disney says the space will become Monstropolis with a suspended door-chase coaster, themed dining and retail, and a new theater experience.
  • Recent Imagineering preview materials omitted the theater show, prompting outlet reports that plans may be changing, though Disney maintains the show is still coming.
  • Released concept art indicates Harryhausen’s restaurant will replace Mama Melrose’s as part of a full retheme of the former Muppets Courtyard.
  • The Muppets presence will continue elsewhere with a planned retheme of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster featuring Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the Electric Mayhem, plus a dedicated merchandise location.
