PizzeRizzo Sign Removed, Ending Visible Muppets Presence at Hollywood Studios

Overview

• Crews took down the PizzeRizzo billboard and the Gonzo’s Royal Flush sign, leaving bare facades inside the walled‑off former Muppets Courtyard.
• The buildings currently remain, with the PizzeRizzo structure expected to be reused as a quick‑service venue within the reimagined area, according to reports.
• Monstropolis plans center on a roller coaster themed to the door vault sequence, described in coverage as Disney’s first suspended coaster with a vertical lift.
• Work tied to the attraction has been observed in a former parking lot, where recent imagery showed pilings and concrete foundation pours.
• Additional re‑themes are reported for nearby venues, with concept art suggesting the MuppetVision theater could become The Glob and Mama Melrose’s could be retitled Harryhausen’s, though timelines have not been announced.
