Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster: What New Track Means
Published October 25, 2026
Additional track on the Monsters, Inc. door coaster was reported on Saturday, October 24, 2026, inside the unfinished building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. According to reports, several white track pieces are installed and visible through the ride’s skeletal framework.
As of Sunday, October 25, 2026, the coaster is still a construction site. Disney has not confirmed the photos, said how much track is in place, or announced an opening date.
The coverage comes from a fresh set of aerial photos of the work site. Through the open frame, the images show white track pieces set into the structure. That is as far as the reports go: more track is up, and the building around it is still a skeleton.
No official construction update came with the photos. The reports do not give a completion share, a testing window, or any date a guest could ride.

What’s not confirmed

What it means for your trip
Leave the Monsters, Inc. door coaster off any Hollywood Studios day you are booking now. As of Sunday, October 25, 2026, there is no opening date, so a plan built around riding it has nothing to cash in.
Use the operating headliners instead. At Hollywood Studios, an early spot still matters most for Slinky Dog Dash and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. With Early Theme Park Entry, spend the 30-minute head start on one of those two, then keep the next ride close by instead of crossing the park. Off-site, without that head start, do not open your morning in a queue resort guests have already been filling; take a nearby standby that is posted low once the rope drops.
If you buy Lightning Lane, Single Pass at Hollywood Studios is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, bought on its own. The other Lightning Lane attractions there are Multi Pass: make your first selections when your window opens — 7 days before arrival for Disney resort guests, 3 days before for off-site, at 7:00 AM Eastern — then add the next one only after you redeem a return or its window passes. That lineup does not include a coaster that is still an open frame.
A Lightning Lane alert can flag a Slinky Dog Dash return time when one becomes bookable; you still confirm it in My Disney Experience.
