A LOT of construction work is happening in Disney World right now. So many new lands are in the works, including Piston Peak National Park, Villains Land, The Tropical Americas, and Monstropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney Imagineering released a behind-the-scenes look at all of these exciting construction projects, and we also got a massive tour of the brand-new Monstropolis land, and we’re taking you with us!

Imagineers revealed that Monstropolis’ main street will be called Dark Avenue. This street connects the Glob Theater, Harryhausen’s, Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza, and the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Factory. This is the model of the street in its early stages…

And here’s the concept art of Dark Avenue once it’s open!

We can also see the iconic X of the intersecting chopsticks entrance at the future site of Harryhausen’s! The restaurant still has a long way to go before it’s finished, but it’s starting to take shape.

The video also showed some of the details and architecture that’s being created for Monstropolis and how Disney is “monster-fying” the area to bring the city to life. Some of the details include adding teeth to windows, but we got a sneak peek at some additions we can’t see over the construction walls, like eyes on pillars and horns on the tops of doorframes.

Imagineers are currently building mock-ups of the buildings to ensure the color and texture before they climb up on scaffolding and do it to the real buildings in a couple of weeks! They have to finish the buildings so they can withstand Florida weather while still looking authentic to the Monsters, Inc. setting for years to come.

We’re so excited to finally see Monstropolis in real life when it opens in 2027. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
