This evening, a huge announcement came during the D23 event when Monsters, Inc. star Billy Crystal helped announce that the first-ever Monsters, Inc. Land would be added to a Disney Park. Monstropolis is officially coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World!
Humans have been invited to visit Monstropolis and will have the opportunity to tour the Laugh Factory and zoom through the door vault on the first-ever suspended roller coaster in a Disney Park! Construction starts in 2025!
Picking up after the events of Pixar Animation Studios’ beloved film, humans have now been invited to visit the world of Monsters, Inc. — and the monsters need laughter to power the city and keep it running smoothly. But it’s not a true visit without the factory itself. You’ll be able to see the sights, hear the laughs and zoom through the building just like James P. Sullivan (a.k.a. Sulley) and Mike Wazowski — via a door!
Yes, a door. If you’ve been dreaming of riding through the door vault since the movie was released in 2001, you’re not alone — Josh has been thinking about this, too. ‘The first time I saw Monsters, Inc., all I wanted to do was ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley,’ he told the crowd. ‘You’ll go into the factory and experience the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park. Remember in the movie how those claws grab the doors and hoist them up into the air to take them away? We’re doing that, too. And you’re going along for the ride.’
The coaster will put you right in the middle of the monster action. Just be sure to fill out your paperwork! Roz is always watching…
Work on the project is slated to begin next year, so get ready to ROAR with laughter!
