New Photo Shows Muppets Courtyard Razed for Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
A fresh on-site image reveals the area cleared behind construction walls, signaling active work on the Monsters, Inc.–themed replacement.
Overview
- A photo shared on September 16 shows construction walls and the demolished state of the former Muppets Courtyard, including the Muppet*Vision 3D building.
- Muppets Courtyard permanently closed in June, affecting Muppet*Vision 3D and nearby dining spots Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano and PizzeRizzo.
- Disney plans to replace the area with Monstropolis, which is set to include a new dining location and a major E‑ticket attraction.
- The headline attraction is described as a suspended roller coaster, which would be the first of its kind at Walt Disney World.
- Disney says the Muppets will move to a rethemed Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster slated to open in 2026, with Monstropolis also reported to target a 2026 debut.
