A monstrously huge new attraction is officially in the works at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Get ready to step into the world of Monstropolis like never before with the Monsters, Inc. Door Vault Roller Coaster, a groundbreaking ride that’s shaping up to be the second-largest attraction building at Walt Disney World!
Forget strolling down a friendly street; you’ll be plunged headfirst into the chaotic and hilarious world of Monsters, Inc. as a brand-new Monsters, Inc. Land takes over the former Muppets Courtyard at Hollywood Studios. And the centerpiece of this exciting expansion? A first-of-its-kind suspended roller coaster that promises a wild ride through the iconic door vault sequence from the beloved Pixar film.
Disney’s First Suspended Thrill Ride
Buckle up for innovation! The Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster isn’t your typical Disney coaster. This behemoth will be Disney’s very first suspended roller coaster, meaning your ride vehicle will be swinging freely beneath the track for an added layer of thrilling movement. Adding to the anticipation is the inclusion of a vertical lift mechanism, hinting at a significant climb before the high-speed hijinks begin. Imagine the views (and the suspense!) as you ascend before zipping through cavernous spaces filled with doors leading to who-knows-where!
Size Matters: A Monstrous Footprint
Prepare to be amazed by the sheer scale of this undertaking. Recent data reveals the ride building for the Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster will span an estimated 103,000 square feet. Let that sink in! That makes it the largest single attraction building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, dwarfing even the impressive structures housing Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash. Across all of Walt Disney World, only the massive Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT boasts a larger footprint. This coaster isn’t just an attraction; it’s a landscape-altering addition to the park.
More Monstrous Fun on the Horizon
But the excitement doesn’t stop at the coaster. This whole new Monstropolis-themed land promises to be an immersive experience. Get ready to grab a bite at Harryhausen’s, likely a cleverly themed restaurant paying homage to the legendary animator. Plus, a new theater show titled Monstro Theater is also in the works, promising even more ways to interact with your favorite monsters.
The Countdown Begins (Eventually!)
While an official opening date remains under wraps, the wheels are definitely in motion. Site work and demolition permits are underway, signaling that this colossal project is actively progressing. Though speculation suggests a potential opening around 2028, one thing is for sure: the arrival of the Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster will be a game-changer for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, solidifying its place as a must-visit for thrill-seekers and Pixar fans alike.
Get ready to scream with laughter and excitement! The Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster is poised to be an unforgettable addition to Walt Disney World, proving that when it comes to world-class attractions, Disney is always opening new doors.
