Earlier this year, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, announced that Disney plans to add a Monstropolis to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Immediately, fans questioned where the attraction was being added. The location was not announced then, but concept art showed it being located either at the Launch Bay area or in the Muppets area of the park.
Fans asked where the new Monsters Inc. area was going but were not answered. Many are concerned that they will replace the Muppets area with this new IP. Meanwhile, the Launch Bay isn’t very popular, and many hope it goes there.
Today, D’Amaro told guests at D23 Brazil that construction would begin in 2025. However, they still refuse to answer the question of WHERE they are putting this attraction.

Fans are concerned that their non-answer is the answer, and they know people are not going to be happy, so they are avoiding answering the question.
Given the announcement of construction in 2025, they must know where to put it.
If it’s going in the Muppets area, not telling fans until permits get leaked is a bad idea. It’s postponing the inevitable and just angering people more.
Disney fans are not happy. Here are the comments about the Monstropolis construction announcement on X.

I fear their reluctance to tell us where Monstropolis is going tells us everything we need to know.

From what I have heard, it is not going where it should go but where we don’t want it to

Again, many fear that their refusal to announce the location is confirmation that it’s Muppet Courtyard.
