Disney has released new high-resolution concept art showcasing the upcoming Monsters, Inc. land coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios. The latest artwork gives fans a closer look at what's planned for the area, offering insights into familiar locations from the movie reimagined as theme park attractions.

A Closer Look at Monstropolis

The newly released high-resolution concept art gives a detailed look at the transformation happening at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Monstropolis-themed courtyard and attention to detail throughout the land will aim to immerse guests in the universe of Monsters, Inc., giving them a new way to experience the humor, heart, and thrill of the Pixar film.

Monstropolis Central Courtyard

The central courtyard has been reworked into Monstropolis, with notable changes to give it the feel of the monster city. The Muppets fountain has been replaced by a statue of Mike Wazowski, serving as a focal point for the redesigned area. New landscaping, colorful building facades, and busy streets are meant to bring Monstropolis to life, allowing guests to feel like they're part of the Monsters, Inc. world.

The Monstro Theater: Replacing MuppetVision 3D

The Monstro Theater is also shown in the concept art, taking over the space that previously housed MuppetVision 3D. The updated theater facade has been designed to fit the aesthetics of Monstropolis, aiming to evoke the bustling city atmosphere from the films. Disney says a new show will be presented at the updated theater.

Harryhausen's Restaurant: Replacing Mama Melrose's

The concept art features Harryhausen's, a restaurant from the original Monsters, Inc. film. This location will replace the former Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, transforming the area into an immersive dining space inspired by the movie.

Flying Door Coaster: A New Addition

In the back of the new land, the concept art shows a glimpse of the planned flying door rollercoaster set within the door warehouse. Inspired by the door vault sequence from Monsters, Inc., this new family-friendly roller coaster ride is intended to offer an exciting experience for guests of all ages. The warehouse design captures the industrial feel of the movie, adding a significant landmark to the land.

Construction on the new Monsters Inc. land is set to begin sometime in 2025, although Disney has not yet announced closure dates for the existing Muppets Courtyard area.

I know they are. I know what's better. Just saying we had a lot of fun times with the kids when in Hollywood Studios, and eating at Mama's.

Our server we had last Tuesday at Mama Melrose said she was moving to Trattoria Al Forno - she seemed excited about it

If you want the memories to last longterm…make sure you don’t go potty 🚽😉

We were there last night simply because it is mother's day weekend and my DW wanted to eat here. Never did I want to be last, out of fear of them running out of stuff. They did not have spaghetti, which was OK. I was more worried about the bread and olive oil. I wanted the full experience. They delivered on that, I think, minus the spaghetti (minor thing to us).

Il Mulino, Trattoria Al forno, Via Napoli are all far better places for Italian food.

I can understand it. If they dared to close ohana I would book the very last table

Sci fi is the kinda thing that makes them unique they don’t do any more Point is don’t wish for them to get rid of That for more D+ cartoon overload. The fact that they took out the movie ride next door to put the Mickey ride in instead of building a new show building on the edge of an underequipped park is enough

Doh. I knew I forgot about some characters. Add in Mike's girlfriend.

I get wanting to be last on a ride, but being last at a restaurant seems just a little strange to me

I’ve only ever had 1 on ignore…it just became too much But it’s a discussion forum. Why ignore? I dob’t hate anyone to ignore them. Plus in this case…I like the youth perspective. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna agree with “they should put Mickey toons on there…old stuff is stupid” 😎

It wasn’t that good. I don’t lament the loss of the quality…just that it was a sit down - which is what made Disney parks unique… In a park that has been butchered basically since day 1…less offerings are not preferable

Mama Melrose is olive garden quality. As an Italian it was a one and done for me. Via Napoli was much better but still not great.

I’m happy they’re putting in a monsters ride, but at the expense of an entire iconic part of Hollywood Studios, it just rings kind of counterproductive. I thought Disney World had all the land they’d ever need. A cast member told me once that there’s enough land left at Disney World to build everything they’ve already built all over again. Kind of blows me away that they ever feel the need to remove attractions when they have that much land.
