MuppetVision 3D is Outta Here – Grand Avenue Now Fully Blocked Off for Monstropolis Transformation
It’s officially lights out for the Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Following the final performances of MuppetVision 3D on June 7, Disney wasted no time—rolling planters now block off the entire left section of Grand Avenue, and the entire area has been completely scrubbed from the park’s physical and digital maps.

Guests walking down Grand Avenue on June 8 were greeted by a row of rolling planters spanning the brick pathway into what was once the Muppets Courtyard. Cast Members are now stationed near the area to prevent curious fans from sneaking a peek, and green trash bins have even been moved in to reinforce the closure. While no demolition or vertical construction has visibly begun just yet, it’s clear this isn’t just a temporary closure. Disney’s preparing to bring Monstropolis to life, and this is step one.
As previously announced, the new land will be themed to Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. and will include a suspended door coaster (yes, that door vault!) along with an unannounced new show replacing MuppetVision 3D. Add in the recent shuttering of Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, and Grand Avenue is looking more like a clean slate than ever before.
What’s left? The only survivors on this block are BaseLine Tap House and Ice Cold Hydraulics Hosted by Coca-Cola, both still holding strong as locations #26 and #27 on the newly updated park guidemaps. Every other trace of the Muppets has been wiped—MuppetVision 3D is no longer listed on the Walt Disney World website, and clicking old links now brings up everyone’s favorite blue alien and his “Someone Ate the Page!” error.

So while the Muppets may be gone for now, Disney isn’t saying goodbye forever. In a surprise announcement, the company confirmed that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will be reimagined in 2026… with the Muppets starring in the retheme. So if you’re feeling blue over Gonzo and gang, hang tight—because they’re gearing up for a whole new gig.
