Concrete Progress Builds for Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Construction is continuing to ramp up for the highly anticipated Monsters, Inc. door vault coaster coming to the new Monstropolis land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Fresh aerial photos from bioreconstruct reveal new layers of concrete work, rebar placement, and conduit installation as the foundation for the attraction’s massive show building continues to take shape behind the scenes.

The future coaster building is currently rising in what was previously a Cast Member parking lot near the park. Because of this location, the large construction site sits surrounded by parked cars, with a towering crane and sprawling multi-layered concrete pad forming the early footprint of the attraction. Recent photos show several sections of the foundation progressing simultaneously, with some areas covered in sand, others preparing for additional concrete pours, and multiple sections filled with intricate rebar grids.
Within those rebar sections, workers have also begun threading conduits through the framework. These conduits will eventually house electrical and mechanical systems needed to power the attraction once construction moves further along. Nearby, crews appear to be preparing additional concrete layers around structural support bolts that will anchor key elements of the show building and ride system.
Some of the rebar sections include unusual recessed areas with angled sides, though their exact purpose remains unclear at this stage of construction. Other completed slabs are currently being used as staging zones for building materials, while additional sunken sections hint that more foundational work is still to come as Disney continues assembling the backbone of the attraction.
The upcoming Monsters, Inc. coaster is inspired by the iconic door vault sequence from the original film and will be Disney’s first suspended coaster and vertical lift coaster. The attraction will anchor the back of the new Monstropolis land currently replacing the former Muppets Courtyard area at Hollywood Studios.

Disney first revealed the attraction model and track layout during the 2024 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, giving fans an early glimpse at how guests will race through the massive door vault alongside Mike and Sulley in a high-speed adventure through the monster world.
With foundations steadily expanding and infrastructure being installed, the early stages of construction are well underway. While the doors may not be flying across the vault just yet, the groundwork is clearly being laid for one of the most ambitious attractions coming to Walt Disney World in the next few years.
