Trademark and In‑Park Preview Point to 'Monstropolis' as Name for Hollywood Studios’ Monsters, Inc. Land

A trademark filing alongside an in-park exhibit using the title signals Disney is standardizing the land’s branding.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Parks & Resorts filed a trademark on October 10 for “Monstropolis” covering amusement-park services and entertainment uses, including an amusement park show.
  • A new Walt Disney Presents display at Disney’s Hollywood Studios refers to the upcoming area as Monstropolis and features updated concept art and text descriptions.
  • Exhibit materials reiterate a flagship attraction described as the park’s first suspended coaster with a vertical-lift start and a ride through the Monsters, Inc. Door Vault.
  • Disney has not issued a formal naming announcement, following months of mixed references such as “Monsters, Inc. Land,” “world of Monsters, Inc.,” and other labels.
  • Recent concept art in the preview omits a theater sign on the former Muppet*Vision 3D building, prompting speculation about whether a Monsters, Inc. show remains in the plan.
