The Monsters, Inc. coaster just hit a MAJOR Milestone, and it’s finally visible.
If you’ve been waiting for real, tangible progress on Disney World’s upcoming Monsters, Inc. land of Monstropolis, this is the update you’ve been looking for.
New aerial photos confirm that the first vertical supports for the upcoming Monsters, Inc. door vault coaster have been installed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
And this is a big deal.
Up until now, most of the work has been focused on groundwork such as digging, foundations, and early infrastructure. But installing these supports marks the beginning of true vertical construction, meaning the ride is starting to take shape above ground.
Now, this project is no longer just plans and permits — it’s becoming real.
What Is the Door Vault Coaster?
If you’re unfamiliar, this attraction is expected to bring the iconic door vault scene from Monsters, Inc. to life, but on a much larger scale.
The coaster will simulate racing through the monster world’s door system, likely featuring:
- High-speed launches
- Dynamic track movement
- Immersive show scenes integrated into the ride
It’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious family-thrill attractions Disney has built in years.
From Foundation to Framework
Recent construction updates show that crews have already completed massive concrete foundation work, structural prep for ride elements, and early groundwork for show buildings.
Now, with the first supports in place, we’re entering the phase where track installation could be next. And once the track goes up? That’s when projects really start accelerating.
For theme park fans, this is one of the most exciting phases of any build. Why? Because it’s the first time we’ll be able to begin visually tracking the ride’s layout, start to understand its scale, and watch the attraction “grow” day by day.
And based on the size of these initial supports, this coaster is going to have a serious presence inside the park!
A Major Addition to Hollywood Studios
This attraction is part of a larger Monsters, Inc. expansion that will bring a brand-new land to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
And let’s be honest — this park has been in need of another major ride to balance demand between major IPs like Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land. Adding a high-capacity, visually striking coaster like this could be a game-changer for crowd flow and overall park experience.
What’s Next?
Now that vertical construction has officially begun, here’s what to watch for next: additional support structures going up, the first track pieces being installed, and the show building framework becoming visible. If progress continues at this pace, expect rapid, noticeable changes over the next few months.
