Work on the Monstropolis fountain at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Hollywood Studios) has begun.
Approximately 16 hours, X user @Shishagumi posted the below photo which shows caution tape surrounding an excavated area in front of the building which used to house Muppet Vision 3D.
The area is in the same location as the iconic Statue of Liberty Piggy fountain, which is why we can assume this is where the Monstropolis Fountain (shown in the concept art below)will be.
Disney hasn’t announced the opening date for the upcoming Hollywood Studios land, but the name of it has been confirmed. According to Smith, Monstropolis is the official name for the land.
PLEASE NOTE: We will be calling the upcoming Hollywood Studios land Monstropolis. Even though Disney hasn’t officially confirmed the name, we trust and respect the source that has (once again).
Back in November 2024, Disney confirmed that a Monsters, Inc. land, including a roller coaster, themed dining, and a new “Monstro Theater”, would replace the former Grand Avenue and Muppets Courtyard sections of Hollywood Studios.
Data (including labelled maps) from Central Florida Tourism Oversight District offered a first look at the size and location of the upcoming Monsters, Inc. roller coaster.

According to Blog Mickey, the building housing the roller coaster will be one of the largest at Walt Disney World.
“The building will be the largest attraction building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and one of the largest attraction buildings at all of Walt Disney World – surpassing buildings built for the nearby Rise of the Resistance attraction, Avatar Flight of Passage, Tron Lightcycle Run, and many others.”
Disney shared an animatic look at the roller coaster back in March. You can watch the 45-second animatic below.
