Overview
- Disney displayed concept art, mood boards and painted maquettes for a Monstropolis land at D23, offering the first detailed public look at the project's neighborhoods and visual direction.
- A theater marquee in the D23 materials reads “Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike,” and WDW News Today reports that as the Glob Theater show name while other coverage describes the text as possibly placeholder copy.
- The land will place the Glob Theater inside the former MuppetVision 3D building and adds a new 'door coaster' built into reclaimed backstage parking, which is described as Disney’s first suspended coaster and its first use of a vertical lift.
- D23 also showed new food‑and‑beverage rethemes and character work, including painted models of monster‑fied everyday animals and plans to retheme Mama Melrose’s to Harryhausen’s with PizzeRizzo likely becoming quick service.
- Construction and retheming are under way but Disney has not announced an opening date, so the D23 reveal shows the creative direction and engineering priorities while many final program and schedule details remain unconfirmed.
