Scaffolding Comes Down at The Glob as Monstropolis Facade Work Advances

Visible exterior finishes show guest-facing areas are advancing toward readiness with the suspended coaster planned for a later phase under an unannounced timeline.

Overview

  • Scaffolding around The Glob Theater was removed Wednesday, revealing restored brickwork, an operational clock and steel brackets installed for a future marquee.
  • Entrance columns for Monstropolis have been reinstalled with internal electrical wiring, a sign that Disney is moving toward finishing guest entry features.
  • Crews are adding monster-themed details across facades, including tooth-like roof trim, gold-colored riveted braces and a weathered water tower on the former PizzeRizzo building.
  • Disney confirmed The Glob will host the stage show Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike and named dining locations such as Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza, while the park targets a phased rollout beginning in 2027 but has not announced firm dates.
  • The project reuses buildings from the former Muppets Courtyard to speed delivery of guest experiences and will add the park’s first suspended door coaster in a later construction phase, which industry reporting suggests will open after the initial 2027 guest-facing elements.
