Overview
- On October 10, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts filed a trademark application for “Monstropolis” covering amusement and theme-park services as well as entertainment uses.
- A new Walt Disney Presents display at Disney’s Hollywood Studios repeatedly uses the name “Monstropolis” and describes shopping, dining, and Disney’s first suspended coaster with a vertical lift through the Door Vault.
- Multiple outlets report that the trademark and the in-park exhibit together strongly indicate the land’s branding, though an official name reveal has not been published.
- The Monsters, Inc.–themed area is replacing the former Muppets Courtyard, with plans showing guest entry through a Monsters, Inc. headquarters facade and construction progressing on the site.
- Recent concept art and exhibit materials remove or alter the former Muppet*Vision 3D theater signage, leading to reports that the original show may not return in its previous form.
