Construction crews have installed the initial supports for Disney's first suspended coaster, part of the upcoming Monsters Inc. Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The massive structure is visible from the park's parking lot. The land is slated to open in 2027.
The new Monsters Inc. Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios is taking shape with significant progress on its centerpiece attraction: a suspended coaster. Recent updates show the first supports in place for the ride building at the back of the land. This marks Disney's inaugural suspended coaster, expected to join new dining and shopping options in the area themed to the 2001 film, 26 years after its release. The ride's scale means it can be spotted from the Hollywood Studios parking lot, hinting at further visible construction soon, such as walls and additional supports. Observers noted scaffolding around the former Muppet*Vision 3D theater, signaling activity across this park section. Meanwhile, the retheming of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is advancing, with a newly paired car observed and an opening planned for summer 2026. The ride will feature “the tasty tunes of the Electric Mayhem and the high-speed hijinks of The Muppets.” No firm opening date exists yet for Monsters Inc. Land.
