MuppetVision 3D Signs Removed as Monstropolis Expansion Progresses at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The transformation of the former Muppets Courtyard into the new Monstropolis area continues to move full scream ahead. The latest visible change: the Wait Time and Lightning Lane signs have been removed from the entrance of the now-closed MuppetVision 3D theater.

Both MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo closed permanently in June, following the closure of Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano in May. The closures make way for the upcoming Monsters, Inc.–themed land, which will blend reimagined existing buildings with new construction.
The former Muppets Courtyard and parts of Grand Avenue are being repurposed for the land, while a brand-new coaster show building is being added to the back of the area—expanding the park into what was once a backstage Cast Member parking lot.

While Disney has not confirmed what will replace MuppetVision 3D, other elements of the land are taking shape. Mama Melrose’s will reopen as Harryhausen’s, the sushi-style restaurant featured in the original Monsters, Inc. film, and PizzeRizzo is expected to become a new quick-service location.
With signs coming down and steady progress behind construction walls, Monstropolis is well on its way to taking over this corner of Hollywood Studios. Soon, laughter—not Muppet mayhem—will power this part of the park.
