Aerial View of Monsters Inc Construction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Today we have a look a the ongoing construction of the new Monstropolis “Monsters Inc.” area coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort.

This new area is replacing the original Muppets Courtyard area and will feature a coaster based on the door conveyor belt in the film.

Here is an aerial view of the current process, thanks to @bioreconstruct on X.

There seems to be a lot of movement on the upcoming coaster, with the concrete floor in progress.

Concrete pillars are poured and then cut off to the proper height before concrete is poured on top.

Each part is being done in sections.

In this photo, you can get an idea of the sheer size this occupies. It can also be compared to the scale of Galaxy’s Edge.

This is another section being transformed into the new Monstropolis theming.

While we don’t yet have an official opening date, the retheme is definitely progressing, but it’s Disney, so I would expect it to take longer than construction at Universal.
