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

And the Disney version is like this too?

Yes the bathrooms are inaccessible and they never seem to show more than 3 min of any movie

Wonder why they're so slow to toss out the reservoir tip. Was the first piece removed, wasn't it?

Planning to re-purpose it as a VOR antenna or something?

My dad a former OSHA inspector would be so impressed that the hats catwalk had safety railings. Further impressed that the contractor has left the safety rails in place at this stage of demo.

Disney is missing out on a great marketing opportunity with this demolition. So many options for promo spots: Star Wars, Stitch, even a cast of characters from a handful of well known older movies driving in and taking it down, all to promote change is on its way.

You are on to something...I wonder if they are not planning something like that behind the scenes.

And I quoted a different post that didn't have a disclaimer.

My mistake! Just saw the picture

I love picture # 8 from today. Wonder if the plan is to cut along all the orange painted lines?

That would be my guess.

 

[danlb_2000]

it's about to get crazy now.. Those spray paint marks are likely torch-cut markers... Bout to lose the structure rapidly like.

You said that a few weeks ago and it didn't happen.

Well, thank goodness then that GMR is getting some attention with a new sponsorship. Hopefully the resulting changes will live up to your ideals, even without the hat being in front of the theatre....

yes, of course... because progress has obviously been 'slow'....

Perhaps my perception of fast on a project such as this is a little more realistic... It's not just a chunk of fiberglass sitting in a parking lot.. There is a lot more to it.. Try to tailor YOUR expectations as such.

And for what it's worth.. "Crazy" meaning it's going to be "Crazy" with them cutting metal and the structure starting to lose it's final shape... For the love of god.. I didn't claim to know anything about the demolition, it was just conjecture.. Get off my back.

Last time you said pace was going to pick up, but the pace remained the same.

Instead of them doing it all nicey nice, I picture a recreation of the printer scene from Office Space

I don't care where the hat goes,it just happened to be in front of the theatre. If the one thing that actually represents Mickey Mouse bothered you so much I'm happy that your happy.

Oh lord... it's not like he isn't all over the entire resort.

It's not the "one" thing that represents Mickey in that park however....

And thank you; I am fairly ecstatic....

I'm all for change, but if your ok with hat being demolished for being out of place...then why are you ok with what was hidden behind the hat housing movies mostly owned now by Sony being left in tact. It all needs reimagined this one piece of headwear was not what's wrong with Hollywood blvd

You really are reaching now. First it was the condition of the theatre, then taking out the "one" item representing Mickey, and now we're onto the films in the GMR? My sympathies that your delicate sensibilities are offended by the fact that movie history may have been made at studios not named Disney. As Conrad once scribed, "The horror. The horror."

And we get to see (at least part of it) the huge hidden Mickey again!
