Brick by Brick, MuppetVision Comes Down as Monstropolis Moves In at Hollywood Studios
The walls have moved and the bricks are coming down at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as Muppets Courtyard continues its transformation into Monstropolis. Construction walls now stretch several feet farther into Grand Avenue, edging into the roadway and sidewalk space, though there is still plenty of room for guests heading between Star Tours and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

The biggest change is happening above the former entrance to MuppetVision 3D. Where there were once just a few missing patches, entire sections of brick façade have now been stripped away across several yards of the building. Crews in lifts were actively removing bricks during the latest update, and green markings on the structure appear to outline where more demolition is planned.
Concept art for the upcoming Monsters, Inc.-themed land shows the building keeping a brick finish overall, but with a bold new marquee taking center stage. The current brick removal likely clears the way for that oversized sign that will welcome guests straight into the scream-powered city of Monstropolis.

Up top, the large boxy structures on the theater roof are also being dismantled. One appears to be fully removed, while the other has been stripped down to its support frame as crews continue the teardown. Down on the street, even the gelato stand has relocated, now parked across from Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, thanks to the construction walls pushing outward.
While it is tough for longtime fans to watch the MuppetVision façade slowly disappear, the Muppets are not leaving the park entirely. They are set to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster this summer, giving Kermit and friends a brand-new stage. Meanwhile, Monstropolis is inching closer to reality, one brick at a time.
