Monsters Inc. Door Coaster Track Layout Revealed in Imagineering Model for Walt Disney World

The layout of the new “Monsters, Inc.” door coaster coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been revealed thanks to a model at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

Monsters, Inc. Coaster Model

A detailed white architectural model of a themed building complex is on display, encased in glass, with several people observing it in the background—reminiscent of something straight out of a Monsters Inc. storyboard at D23.

The ride will be part of the first-ever “Monsters, Inc.” land and will be Disney’s first suspended roller-coaster. The façade of the coaster will be the Monsters, Inc. factory. In the story of the land, humans have been invited to experience Monstropolis and tour the factory after the events of Pixar’s 2001 “Monsters, Inc.” film.

A scale model of a roller coaster attraction, drafted with precision and encased in glass, showcasing intricate tracks and structures viewed from above.

The model depicts a track running around tall supports through what appears to be the scare/laugh floor and the door storage area of Monsters, Inc. The model hasn’t been painted so is just white and gray.

A white, intricate 3D-printed architectural model displayed in a glass case resembles an Auto Draft. The model features multiple interconnected structures and elements, possibly representing a complex design or machine.

“The first time I saw ‘Monsters, Inc.’, all I wanted to do was ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley,” Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro said at the showcase. “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.”

Above, you can see the sections where the train full of guests will be raised and lowered to and from and door track above.

The land is rumored to replace the Animation building in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Compare to concept art of the attraction below.

Animated characters Sulley and Mike from Monsters, Inc. are escaping through a door on a roller-coaster-like track, akin to a suspended coaster, while riders in yellow seats watch the scene. A child is held by Sulley.
