I Can't Stop Staring At These NEW Monstropolis Construction Updates in Hollywood Studios

Monsters, get your hard hats! Construction is well underway in Hollywood Studios, and we have been following the creation of this new land every step of the way.

Monstropolis is slowly coming to life, and we couldn’t be more excited. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we have a new point of view on the changes going on with this major construction project!

It’s been a years-long project, and so far, we’re still seeing tons and tons of dirt! Disney has slowly been bringing the world of Monsters, Inc. to life for a while now, and we are realy starting to see things take shape.

At the entrance of the land, the monster teeth have become even more noticeable! Disney has also started putting up the sides of the entrance archways.

You can see the archways in the concept art right here. Eventually, they will feature more detailing, monster-like gargoyles, and even more pointy teeth. Between the two archways, there will be a Monstopolis icon on the ground welcoming people into the land.

On the right side of the land, the Glob Theater is slowly coming to life, which will be the home of the “Welcome to Monstropolis Show.” In front of the theater, you can also see how Disney is laying the pipework for the fountain that will be at the front of the land. Sadly, this fountain will be replacing the Miss Piggy Fountain, which we will never forget. The fountain’s location is clearly carved out in the ground!

In the back of the land, the massive building that will be home to the main attraction in the land is growing quickly! The coaster will be Disney’s very first suspended coaster, which will take guests straight into the movie.

The show building is located in what was once a Cast Parking lot. If you look closely at the construction vehicles at the site, you can tell how big the area really is!

If you look really closely, you can see archways coming to life inside the building. This framework has us really intrigued! To the right, you can see track supports that have been installed. The tallest are for a swoop of ride routing through this space. The lower supports are believed to be for unloading the trains. The ride will also feature high ceilings which you can see coming to life.

Behind the site, you can also see the pieces of the coaster’s track laid out. At D23 in 2026, Disney confirmed the coaster will lift riders 40 feet into the air in 4 seconds to kick off the ride!

Previously, we saw the chopsticks of Harryhausen’s coming to life, which will be the table-service restaurant in the land. Since then, Disney gave us a sneak peek at what’s coming to the restaurant. The most notable part is easily that incredible animatronic of the head chef himself!

The chopsticks!

It has been so exciting seeing the entire land come to life over the course of the last several years since it was first announced in 2024. Currently, the land will open in phases starting in 2027. The land will open next year, but the main coaster will open at a later date. Be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more news, updates, and more!
