CFTOD Filing Reveals First Look at Monsters, Inc. Coaster Layout and Electrical Infrastructure for Monstropolis Expansion at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
It looks like the power is on, and the doors are about to swing open to Monstropolis! A newly released Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) filing has given fans their first behind-the-scenes peek at the electrical infrastructure plans for Disney’s Monsters, Inc.-themed expansion at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Filed as part of the October 24, 2025 CFTOD Board of Supervisors meeting agenda, the document refers to Project L, widely believed to be the internal codename for the upcoming Monstropolis area. The report confirms that Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. will design, permit, and fully fund new electrical systems to power the land—including an underground duct bank, directional drilling, and three separate electric service yards positioned around the development.
The most exciting detail? The filing contains faint but distinct track layout plans for the new Monsters, Inc. coaster, expected to be themed to the iconic Door Vault chase sequence from Pixar’s hit film. The coaster appears to sit in the area formerly used for backstage parking, right behind what was once the Muppets Courtyard.
Early concept art and model photos shared earlier this year hinted that the ride would feature a vertical lift and multi-level track system designed to simulate the dizzying motion of flying door hangers through the Monstropolis factory. With this new document now confirming the placement of electrical service yards and infrastructure easements, the project seems to be shifting from groundwork to vertical progress.

The agreement also grants CFTOD a permanent easement over the property, allowing the district to manage future maintenance and operations for the utility systems once construction wraps. It’s a small but telling glimpse into how Disney and the district are coordinating as Monstropolis continues to take shape.
Between last month’s permit filings for Harryhausen’s restaurant and now this major infrastructure milestone, the city of monsters is fast becoming a reality. While Disney hasn’t officially announced a timeline, construction photos show steady progress behind the Animation Courtyard demolition site—suggesting that we may see the doors to Monstropolis swing open sooner than expected.
Get ready to laugh, scream, and power up those canisters—Monstropolis is coming to life at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
