Overview
- Crews dismantled the PizzeRizzo billboard on December 30, leaving only the roof base where the neon sign once stood.
- The Gonzo’s Royal Flush sign has also been removed, and workers were seen prepping exterior walls attached to the former restaurant.
- Disney says the area is being reimagined as Monstropolis, with concept art indicating Mama Melrose’s becomes Harryhausen’s and the Muppet*Vision 3D theater is retitled The Glob.
- Plans call for the land’s headliner to be Disney’s first suspended coaster with a vertical lift that races through the Monsters, Inc. door vault, with construction underway off the former nearby parking lot.
- The PizzeRizzo structure is expected to remain and be repurposed as a quick‑service venue, and Disney has not announced an opening timeline for the new land.
