Summary
2027 is the target opening for Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney said at D23, with the new Monsters, Inc. land already under construction.
A 40-foot suspended “door coaster” will anchor the land — Disney’s first hanging coaster anywhere — launching riders into the Laugh Floor in four seconds.
Disney is pairing that ride with a theater-based attraction built with Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic, using high-definition panels, physical characters and a new original Randy Newman song written exclusively for a Disney park.
Monstropolis will also open with restaurants, shops and character-driven spaces, including Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza and a reimagined Harryhausen’s featuring an animatronic octopus sushi chef.
The project is designed to let guests step into the everyday monster world for the first time, broadening Hollywood Studios with a major Pixar destination.
