Vertical construction work is moving along steadily for the Monsters, Inc. roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as these latest angles from aerial photographer @bioreconstruct show during a recent flyover.

Vertical Progress on New Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster

The future home of Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios continues to go vertical, and new aerial photos show major progress on the upcoming Monsters, Inc. roller coaster.

The latest aerial views show that construction has advanced far beyond foundation work. A large steel framework now dominates one corner of the site, with multiple rows of vertical columns, crossbeams, and upper-level framing installed.

Compared to our last update, when ride support columns and foundation elements were the most visible pieces of progress, the future attraction building is now beginning to take shape in a much more recognizable way. Our earlier coverage showed the first vertical coaster supports being installed after pieces were staged near the site.

Several photos give a closer look at the main steel structure. Brown and dark gray steel beams now form a large rectangular building frame, with workers visible on lifts and elevated work areas throughout the site. Silver metal decking has also been placed across portions of the upper and interior frame sections for workers to move about the future show building.

Large black cylindrical columns can be seen around and within the construction footprint. Some are freestanding around the edge of the slab, while others are integrated near the main steel frame. Additional steel pieces are staged nearby, awaiting installation.

Aerial views also show multiple cranes and lifts working around the site, including a large white crane stretching across the work zone and a black crane positioned near the main building frame. Several boom lifts are parked inside and around the structure, allowing crews to work at different heights as steel installation continues.

In one photo, a group of white-wrapped rectangular pieces sits near a staging area.

A wider shot helps to place the project within the park. The construction site sits beyond the former Muppets Courtyard land on an area previously occupied by Cast Member parking.

There is still a long way to go before guests can step into the world of Mike, Sulley, and more monster favorites. Disney has not announced an opening timeline for the Monstropolis land.
