Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new permit for set installation near the construction site of the future Monsters, Inc. door coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
According to a Notice of Commencement, Imagineering contracted Mecca Productions, Inc. to “Install set elements” at 253 S Studio Dr. While that address is not listed in Disney’s guest-facing locations, similar addresses are near the coaster construction area.
The coaster is being built outside the former Muppets Courtyard, taking over part of a Cast Member parking lot along S Studio Dr. Disney has said the attraction will be its first suspended coaster and first vertical-lift coaster.
The ride will anchor Monstropolis, a new Hollywood Studios land inspired by Monsters, Inc. Disney plans to open most of Monstropolis in phases beginning in 2027, while the coaster is scheduled to open later.

Other changes planned for the land include the replacement of MuppetVision 3D with Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike at the renamed Glob Theater. PizzeRizzo is set to become Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza.
