Walt Disney World is making significant progress on Monstropolis, a new land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that will replace the former Muppets Courtyard. The front portion of the land, now called Dark Avenue, is scheduled to open in 2027 with reimagined restaurants and retail spaces. Meanwhile, construction on the Monsters Inc Door Coaster backstage is advancing rapidly, though it is not expected to debut until 2028. The coaster building will be larger than Star Wars Rise of the Resistance and among the largest show buildings at Walt Disney World. New attractions include a Glob Theater show titled Welcome to Monstropolis and various themed dining experiences like Harryhausen’s restaurant. Construction photos reveal scaffolding removal, new brickwork on facades, and progress on underground plumbing for water features.
