Exciting developments are underway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as land clearing continues for the highly anticipated Monsters Inc. Door Vault Roller Coaster. This new attraction, set to be a centerpiece of the upcoming Monsters Inc. Land, will feature one of the largest show buildings at Walt Disney World. Let’s take a closer look at the latest updates on the construction process, including aerial photos and details about the project’s scope.
Land Clearing and Construction Updates
Comparisons to Existing Attractions
The scale of the new building is noteworthy. When compared to the show building for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the Monsters Inc. Door Vault Roller Coaster structure will be approximately 11% larger. This highlights the ambitious nature of the project and its potential to become a major draw for guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Expanding the Park’s Footprint
The construction of this new attraction is part of a broader effort to expand the footprint of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. By repurposing a portion of the Cast Member parking lot, Disney is creating space for this innovative addition to the park.
Aerial Photo Highlights
Overview of the Construction Site
Aerial photos provide a clear view of the construction site, showcasing the scale of the land clearing efforts. The images also highlight the proximity of the new building to existing park features, such as the closed Muppets Courtyard.
Demolition of Existing Structures
Recent aerial photos reveal significant progress in the land clearing process. The construction site, previously a Cast Member parking lot, is being prepared for the massive show building that will house the roller coaster. The demolition work is shaping the area to accommodate the building’s footprint, which is expected to exceed 100,000 square feet.
Reverse Angle Perspective
Another set of photos offers a reverse angle, emphasizing the size of the new building in relation to other attractions. The comparison underscores the significant investment Disney is making in this project.
What’s Next for Monsters Inc. Land?
The Monsters Inc. Door Vault Roller Coaster is just one component of the larger Monsters Inc. Land project. This new themed area will replace the Muppets Courtyard and is expected to include additional attractions, dining options, and immersive experiences inspired by the beloved Pixar film.
Conclusion
The construction of the Monsters Inc. Door Vault Roller Coaster marks an exciting chapter for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With its impressive scale and innovative design, this attraction is poised to become a highlight of the park’s lineup.
