Monsters Inc Coaster and Monstropolis construction progress at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney is moving along with construction in its upcoming Monstropolis area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The new land is replacing Muppets at the Walt Disney World theme park. Today we have a look at aerial images from bioreconstruct on X showcasing the construction progress.

The upcoming Monstropolis land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is progressing quickly, especially the construction progress of the new coaster.

Bioreconstruct on X has several images of the progress.

Monsters Inc. suspended coaster progress

The one fully brand-new attraction coming to the new land is a suspended coaster based on the door conveyor belt in the first Monster Inc. film.

It is being built across the street in what was part of a Cast Member parking lot.

Guests are especially excited about this new coaster because it will offer ride vehicles with vertical “take-off”.

Bioreconstruct even breaks down the construction areas so future guests can see where various parts of the attraction will be.

Some of the track is starting to be put up.

Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza

Another area under construction is the closed Rizzo’s Pizzeria, which is now being turned into Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza.

Based on the Monsters University film, this quick-service restaurant is named after the “pig” that keeps getting stolen as a college prank.

Gardens are being put in, and the fountain is being rebuilt, but now without Miss Piggy.

The entryway and fountain are being redone.

Here is what the area will look like when it’s finished.

MuppetVision theater will now be “The Glob” theater with the show Welcome to Monstropolis.

Construction on that area has been ongoing, as it is set to open in 2027.

This is the current status of construction in this area. We have a look at what’s going on, thanks to Bioreconstruct on X.

Some of the new land will open in 2027, but we do not yet know when the suspended coaster will open.
