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.

It appeared (to me at least) Grand Ave is untouched in the concept art and it's only once you pass the bench brick wall area it becomes monstropolis. Which makes sense to me as it's not to out of place and Grand Ave blends in better compared to Star Tours. Honestly part of me hopes they take out star tours and make that Monsters Univ area/ride.

I don't know why it would. Although if not razed, it could just as easily be rethemed.

I have been taught by smarter folks on these boards that projects do not get budget cuts. Projects get "scope cut" because they realize they cant do what they wanted to do for the budget given, therefore they must "scope cut" to stay within the budget. This means its not a budget cut, they spent all the money but they couldn't do what they wanted to do and stay within budget.

So you're guessing then but saying it as if it's a fact?

Maybe? They've made updates to things before that have had a shorter life expectancy than this would even if it died by the time Monsters opens.

Safe to say Ice Cold Hydraulics is here to stay? Along with its theme tied to Grand Avenue. This mural work was completed this past week. Cross-post in associated thread:

You only see it cause it's on a break run. I still think this coaster should resemble the door scene with speed, and thrill. Give it a 48' height requirement

I think it would come across as well as the town does in Big Thunder.

You think you can process all that going 30 mph?

You see CDA agents scrambling in the background. It's clear they're looking for Boo. A CDA agent spots us and shouts 2319 as we pass by. End scene. We don't need massive exposition here. We already know the story.
