From an opening timeline to attractions and shows to restaurants and shopping, there is a LOT of information, so let’s break it down!
Opening Timeline
Disney has confirmed that the land will open sometime in 2027, although an exact date has yet to be announced. However, Disney’s first-of-its-kind suspended roller coaster will NOT open with the land. An opening timeline for the Door Coaster has yet to be revealed.

Disney Shows Off NEW Monsters Coming to Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios!
The Theater Show
The land’s new theater show will be located in the old Muppet*Vision 3D building. The Glob Theater will be home to the “Welcome to Monstropolis” show, which will, you know… welcome guests to Monstropolis. The show will feature a brand-new song written by Randy Newman, which will be the first song he’s written for a Disney park.

Mike and Sulley will be the hosts of the show. The vice president of Walt Disney Imagineering, Chris Beatty, shared a first look, saying, “Sulley has been working on a small, homespun show, but Mike – ever the showman – has a few surprises up his sleeve that he thinks will bring down the house. Hopefully not literally.”

Dining & Shopping
There will be two dining locations in the land — Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza and Harryhausen’s. Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza will be a quick-service location where guests can easily grab a slice of pizza. The restaurant is inspired by Ear Tech’s beloved six-legged mascot. Harryhausen’s is inspired by the sushi restaurant Mike and Celia go on a date to. The restaurant will have a “menu unlike anything else” and will feature a full Animatronic of the Chef!
