Disappearance
The island was supposed to be released in 2008.The island ws even pictured on the map,with the words "COMING SOON!".However,for an unknown reason,it was scrapped.Monster costumes were also accidentally leaked into the Poptropica Store but were quickly removed upon discovery.

A few years after, the Creators released a sneak peek of a concept art of what appeared to be a circus and stated that it was for an unfinished island which was presumed to be Monster Carnival Island.This shows that Monster Carnival Island was cancelled because it wasn't finished.

Later still on Febuary 3rd, 2014, Captain Crawfish officially announced on the | Creator's Blog that Monster Carnival wasn't released because it was announced too early not being finished back in 2008 and nobody was able to finish it, having other projects to work on. The name kept popping up in the discussions for new Islands every year, and everyone agreed that it should be revived and sure enough, it was.

Beliefs of Return
Multiple times it has thought to be returning. Sneak peeks of monster-related islands were posted on Daily Pop but they turned out to be sneak peeks for Cryptids Island and Zomberry Island. When a sneak peek of what seemed to be a carnival appeared on Daily Pop, some people assumed that it was for Monster Carnival Island. However, it was actually for the Carnival Costumes store on Night Watch Island. There are four monster costumes in the store that resemble the leaked costumes. On the Creator's blog, there was a post by Captain Crawfish that showed nots for a "Haunted Amusement Park Island",supposedly an early name for Monster Carnival Island. At the end of the blog post, Captain Crawfish quotes: "You never know, I guess.", hinting that it could be returning. A paper in the trash can of Mocktropica Island had the words "Monster Carnival NOPE" on it.
