Concrete Is Rolling In for Disney’s Monsters, Inc. Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios
Construction is charging ahead on the upcoming Monsters, Inc. roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the latest aerial photos show a big milestone taking shape. Most of the concrete floor has now been poured for the massive show building, nearly filling in the rectangular footprint carved out behind the former Muppets Courtyard. This area previously served as a Cast Member parking lot, but it is now firmly on its way to becoming Disney’s next monster-sized attraction.

New images shared by aerial photographer bioreconstruct show construction vehicles lined up along the site, with tarps covering freshly poured concrete as crews prep additional sections. Workers are also busy forming and cutting concrete pillars that were drilled deep into the ground and trimmed to precise height before the surrounding dirt was leveled and filled. In short, the foundation phase is well underway and moving fast.
Over in what used to be Muppets Courtyard, changes are quieter but still telling. The exterior of MuppetVision 3D is being stripped of its familiar theming, with panels removed to reveal the stonework beneath. This backstage makeover is setting the stage for new monstrous details as the area transitions into its next identity.

The new land is expected to be called Monstropolis, inspired by the city from Monsters, Inc.. The headline attraction will be Disney’s first suspended coaster and its first vertical lift, taking guests into the famous door vault alongside Mike, Sulley, and Boo. With concrete now largely in place, this project is officially out of the scare floor and into full scream factory mode.
