Disney Unveils New Monsters, Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is set to undergo an exciting transformation with the introduction of a brand-new land dedicated to Pixar’s beloved film Monsters, Inc.. Announced at the Disney Experiences Showcase during D23 on August 10, 2024, this new addition promises to bring the magic of Monstropolis to life, complete with Disney’s first-ever suspended roller coaster.
A Suspended Coaster Like No Other
The highlight of the new Monsters, Inc. land will be the “Door Coaster,” a ride that mirrors the iconic chase scene from the original 2001 film. Visitors will have the chance to experience the thrill of zooming through the factory on a suspended track, just like the film’s heroes, James P. Sullivan (Sulley) and Mike Wazowski. This attraction will mark the first suspended coaster in any Disney park, adding a unique and exhilarating experience to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Josh D’Amaro, Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, shared his enthusiasm for the project during the announcement. “The first time I saw Monsters, Inc., all I wanted to do was ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley,” D’Amaro said. “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.”
Monstropolis Comes to Life
The new land will immerse guests in the world of Monstropolis, picking up where the film left off. Humans are now invited to visit the city, where laughter is the key to keeping the city running smoothly. Visitors will stroll through the streets of Monstropolis, encountering their favorite characters and soaking in the vibrant, monster-filled atmosphere.
The development of this immersive land is scheduled to begin in 2025, with the attraction expected to open in the following years. The addition of the Monsters, Inc. land is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to expand and enhance the guest experience at its parks.
