Originally announced at last year’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the new Monsters Inc. land will transport guests to the streets of Monstropolis.
The crown jewel of the new land will be a thrilling roller coaster that takes guests through the Monsters, Inc. door vault.

“Imagineers have been itching to turn that moment into an attraction ever since we saw it for the first time,” Hundgen teased.
A Groundbreaking Attraction
While most of the details surrounding the new attraction have yet to be unveiled, Docter did reveal that it will be the first-ever suspended coaster in a Disney Park and will also include the first-ever vertical lift!

“I can tell you that everyone at Pixar is excited about how this is coming together,” Docter told the crowd. “It really is like a dream come true for us.”
Construction on the new land will begin this year.
