As the song in Moana says, “MAKE WAY, MAKE WAY” — because Muppets Courtyard will soon be making way for new experiences! With that, closing dates have been announced for Muppet*Vision 3D, PizzeRizzo, and Mama Melrose’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.


Muppet*Vision 3D
All good things come to an end, and a few areas of Disney’s Hollywood Studios are about to undergo a huge transformation.
Monsters, Inc. and all your favorite Muppets are getting new homes in the park, and it’s all part of the exciting updates announced at last summer’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

Monsters, Inc. Land
The south side of Hollywood Studios will soon transform into the world of Monsters, Inc., featuring the long-anticipated coaster that fans have dreamed of — a suspended ride recreating the exhilarating door vault scene! The new land will also include themed dining, shopping, and a brand-new theater show to bring even more monster-sized fun to the park.

Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo will subsquently close on June 7.
As reported by Scott Gustin, construction walls will go up behind the new Coca-Cola stand on June 8. This will officially block Muppets Courtyard from guests.

The Muppets Take Sunset Boulevard
Don’t worry, Muppet fans, the fun isn’t ending — it’s moving right along to Sunset Boulevard! The Muppets will take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, teaming up with some of music’s biggest stars for a hilarious and high energy rock festival.

This reimagined coaster will mark the first-ever Disney ride to feature the Muppets, blending laughter, thrills, and music into an unforgettable adventure. Expect plenty of new Muppet-themed merchandise and surprises along Sunset Boulevard to celebrate their arrival.
Last Chance for Classic Experiences
There’s still time to catch your favorite experiences before the transformation begins. With these closing dates announced, now’s the time to hop in a super-stretch limo to the Forum one last time on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and say goodbye to the zany antics of Muppet*Vision 3D before their final curtain calls.
Disney is also exploring creative ways to preserve elements of these iconic experiences for fans to enjoy in the future, so stay tuned for updates.
