Humans are finally being invited into Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
In this episode of Castle Talk Radio, Becca and Jessica explore the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land coming to Walt Disney World. Rather than simply recreating scenes from the movies, Disney is building an entire city where guests will visit as human tourists during H.U.M.A.N. Day.
We discuss:
• Why humans are now welcome in Monstropolis• What H.U.M.A.N. Day means• The suspended door-vault coaster and its first-of-its-kind vertical lift• Why the coaster will not be ready when parts of the land open in 2027• “Welcome to Monstropolis,” featuring a new song by Randy Newman• The Glob Theater show starring Mike and Sulley• Harryhausen’s Restaurant and its Audio-Animatronics sushi chef• Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza and the Monsters University Alumni Club• Shopping at the Scareporium• The bittersweet reality of Monstropolis replacing the former Muppets area• Why this could transform how families plan their Disney’s Hollywood Studios days
Monstropolis is shaping up to be much more than a new attraction. Disney is creating a city filled with restaurants, businesses, entertainment, hidden details, and plenty of reasons to slow down and explore.
