Disney's Hollywood Studios will be home to Disney's first suspended rollercoaster, with construction beginning in 2025 on the brand-new land themed around Disney and Pixar's "Monsters, Inc."
Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro, with a little help from Disney Legend Billy Crystal, took to the stage to reveal plans to build a living, breathing, and not-at-all-scary Monsters-inspired area where you'll be able to stroll the streets alongside some of your favorite monsters.
Picking up after the events of Pixar Animation Studios' beloved 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. 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!
You'll go into the factory and experience the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park. The coaster will put you right in the middle of the monster action.
Work on the project is slated to begin in 2025, although Disney is yet to announce where in Disney's Hollywood Studios the new land will be located. Possible locations include the existing Animation Courtyard and the Grand Avenue area.
