Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

Heard an interesting rumor for GMR.

Premise: you are attending the red carpet premier of a GotG sequel and through the use of the LPS guided ride system and extensive 3D screens you are sucked into the action.

Sounds like Disney may finally be taking on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.

I might have peed my self a little while reading that.

"What would Walt want?"

Well Uncle Walt wouldn't have even put it there in the first place!

Does this mean that the stage is also being removed?

 

[Disneyhead'71]

So technically were getting a Marvel ride themed to Guardians of the Galaxy to my understanding?

From the rumor mill it appears so. From what I was told the ride itself would be almost a clone of Ratatouille. It would be to Ratatouille what Transformers is to Spider-man.

Yes - I would assume so.

So, much worse?

Star Wars weekends, 4th of July, Frozen fun, New Years...

But it was the begining of May this year, not the end... December 6th last year, not near New Years.. and September last year, Frozen wasnt out yet. There wasn't one thing they did on the stage while we were there any of those times. Everything was covered in tarps.

I can 100% confirm that the hat is going...

CM's were told recently: "We will soon begin to re-imagine the park’s central hub by removing the sorcerer’s Hat in early 2015. As part of that change, the store located underneath the hat will be closing, A closing date will be shared as we get closer to it.”

Considering it's almost November and early 2015 would mean by March, shouldn't that date be announced soon? And if this is true, it needs to be done and the area cleaned up before Star Wars weekend starts in May.

Wouldn't be surprised to find out about a Guardians ride. Disney would be crazy to not get as much Marvel in the park as possible. But a Guardians ride in the Hub of the park? It just feels weirdly out of place....

If it's going to be announced, it's bound to be any day now.

How is Disney getting away with using Guardians in the park? I thought Universal had exclusive Marvel rights.

Yes - I would assume a date will be announced before Christmas.

I think Marvel is a tough fit anywhere at Disney, but a Movie Theater is one place that it can fit no problem.

 

[CTXRover]

Great news. Like many, I liked the hat for what it was, but not its location. I would suspect that a reimagining of this area could include some type of permanent stage set-up. Hopefully whatever they do, it will bring back the once great view of the theater as the weenie at the end of hollywood blvd.

I have 20 bucks on January. Actually I might want to put another zero or two in that…

 

[wdwfan757]

I would have been significantly more excited about this if I hadn't just seen Annabelle at the actual chinese theater 2 weeks ago. It's less exciting when you realize the chinese theater is just a regular old movie theater these days and not the icon we East Coasters/WDWFans dream it up to be!

Thank god its finally going!
