At D23 this weekend, it was announced that a new land based on the popular Monsters, Inc. franchise will be coming to Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. During the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, Disney Experiences boss Josh D’Amaro revealed a new Monsters, Inc. land would soon enter construction at the park.
Canonically, the story the amusement park follows takes place immediately after the first film. “Humans have now been invited to visit the world of Monsters, Inc. — and the monsters need laughter to power the city and keep it running smoothly,” Disney says of the ride on its website.
“But it’s not a true visit without the factory itself. You’ll be able to see the sights, hear the laughs and zoom through the building just like James P. Sullivan (a.k.a. Sulley) and Mike Wazowski — via a door!”
The centerpiece of the park is a suspended ride in which park-goers will be able ride alongside the iconic Monsters, Inc. doors that serve as the bridges between our world and theirs.
“The first time I saw Monsters, Inc., all I wanted to do was ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley,” D’Amaro said at D23.
“You’ll go into the factory and experience the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park. Remember in the movie how those claws grab the doors and hoist them up into the air to take them away? We’re doing that, too. And you’re going along for the ride.”
Construction will begin in 2025. Check out the announcement post below:
