Monsters Inc Land News | Monstropolis at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney has unveiled a rich new backstory for Monstropolis, the upcoming land at Disney's Hollywood Studios, transforming it from a scary monster city into a welcoming hub of cross-species connection. The land will no longer run on screams—thanks to the pivotal shift in the Monsters, Inc. film—but instead on laughter, with a newly created Department of Human Relations facilitating a historic celebration called Human Day. This event, standing for 'Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice,' is designed to break down long-standing fears between monsters and humans, turning Monstropolis into a place of cultural exchange where guests can meet animatronic monsters, dine at Harryhausen's restaurant, and experience a suspended roller coaster that may symbolize the journey from fear to joy. The coaster, likely with a 38–40 inch height requirement, appears to be family-friendly and thematically tied to the land’s core message: laughter powers the city. While no official opening date has been announced, construction progress suggests Monstropolis could open by 2028, possibly in phases. The land will repurpose the former Muppet Vision 3D theater into the Glob Theater, potentially hosting a new version of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor show. The episode also explores how this development might influence future updates to the original Laugh Floor at Magic Kingdom.
