Overview
- A heavy-lift boom crane is now installed at the Monstropolis site, indicating vertical steel work for the suspended “door” coaster could begin soon.
- The crane is visible from multiple areas of the resort, including Hollywood Blvd, Echo Lake, Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and the main parking lot.
- Disney describes the ride as its first suspended coaster with a vertical lift and a fully enclosed show building, based on a model revealed at D23 in 2024.
- Crews are stripping and cutting into the former MuppetVision 3D facade to prepare for a new marquee, and Walt Disney World has confirmed a theater show will occupy the venue.
- Construction walls have been pushed into Grand Avenue and a nearby gelato stand has been relocated, while exterior modifications continue at the former PizzeRizzo building with its future use not yet announced.
