Construction at the future Monstropolis land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has revealed more of the facade for Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza, the dining location planned for the former PizzeRizzo building.
Rows of scaffolding that had covered part of the building are now gone, exposing rows of multicolored bricks. The facade also appears to include hardware for a hanging sign similar to that at the planned Glob Theater.
Elsewhere in the developing land, thematic scale painting has begun on a building farther back in the area. Scaffolding remains in place there, though four white-trimmed arches are visible. Green painters tape can also be seen along the roof edge of another nearby building.
Monstropolis is being built on the former Muppets Courtyard site and is scheduled to open in phases beginning next year, although Disney has not announced an opening date. Mama Melrose’s is set to become Harryhausen’s, while the former MuppetVision 3-D theater will house Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike, a new show with an original song by Randy Newman.

Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Orlando theme park tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
A new door coaster is also under construction on what was previously a backstage Cast Member parking lot. Disney has said it will be its first suspended coaster and first vertical-lift coaster.
