Monsters, Inc. Coming to Hollywood Studios, Muppets Moving On!
Big changes are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Get ready to enter the world of Monsters, Inc. as a brand-new land takes over the south side of the park. This exciting addition, announced at last summer’s D23 Expo, will feature a thrilling suspended coaster recreating the iconic door vault scene, along with new dining, shopping, and a unique theater show.

To make way for this monstrous makeover, the Grand Avenue area will begin a phased closure in May. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will serve its last plate of pasta on May 10th, followed by the closure of MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo on June 7th.
But don’t worry, Muppet fans! Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang are simply moving to a new location within the park. They’ll be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith on Sunset Boulevard, transforming it into a rockin’ music festival experience with some of music’s biggest stars.
This marks the first Disney ride to feature the Muppets, promising a hilarious and high-energy adventure filled with laughter, screams, and new tunes. Guests can also expect plenty of Muppets-themed merchandise on Sunset Boulevard.
While we say goodbye to MuppetVision 3D in its current form, Disney is exploring ways to preserve the beloved film and other elements of the experience for future enjoyment.
In the meantime, there’s still time to catch one last ride on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and experience the MuppetVision 3D finale before their final curtain calls.
Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting transformations happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
