Disney4me Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 The former Muppets Courtyard at Hollywood Studios is being turned into Monstropolis from Monsters, Inc., and it looks totally different now! Muppet*Vision 3D For reference, this is what the Muppets Courtyard looked like before it closed last June. Now, a warning for Muppets fans, brace yourselves. We’re totally not crying from behind our screen right now! Thanks to bioreconstruct on X, we can get aerial drone footage over the construction sites at Disney World. So when we checked their updates today, we saw that Muppets Courtyard looks completely different! Remember the colorful store attached to Muppet*Vision 3D? Well, it’s sterile millennial gray now! ©Bioreconstruct When we zoom in on the former Muppet*Vision 3D entrance, there’s a lot of earthmoving equipment, construction materials, and scaffolding around the building. They’re getting the ground ready for new pavement in addition to the exterior work on the theater. ©Bioreconstruct Based on Disney’s concept art, the building will likely stay a theater. It will have a similar layout, but get a facelift to become monster-ified, so we’re hoping it’ll get a new brick layer soon. Having to look at all of the gray on our next visit to Hollywood Studios will bring up all the feels! ©Disney When we look at the land’s entrance, there are lots of earthmoving equipment and trucks across the walkway. We can see some scaffolding and beams on the ground by the former Gonzo’s Royal Flush bathrooms, so they could be adding structural enhancements to the restaurant and bathrooms while they’re not in use. ©bioreconstruct Over by PizzaRizzo, the building’s signage has been removed, but ultimately looks the same. The tables and furnishings have also been removed, with boxes of what’s presumably more construction materials on the patio. ©bioreconstruct In the back of the Monstropolis land, Disney is building its first-ever suspended roller coaster. And now, it has a building (Well, kind of). They’ve set the building’s foundation with the gray and dark brown ground layer, and they’ve added some steel beams and a massive crane to the site. ©bioreconstruct When we zoom in on the future ride building, there’s a gray patch of concrete that’s a new foundation, and we have steel beams coming up that will likely become a wall or structural support. But when you look closely at the picture, do you see those little bright yellow dots? Yeah, those are the construction workers. This ride building is so massive that they look like ants! ©bioreconstruct We’re so excited to see what Monstropolis looks like once it’s done, but in the meantime, we’ll be crying over Muppet*Vision 3D.
