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

[Goofyernmost]

you know... you're seeming an awful lot like an overzealous fan thinking out loud

I believe that is what I did say I was... not really an overzealous one but one the is skeptical about just how good this move is going to be. I believe I was one of the first to say that what we haven't mentioned yet is that they could easily take out the hat and replace it with a permanent stage with all kinds of lights and junk hanging about. I never once claimed to have any inside information, and if anyone thinks I do lets nip that in the bud right now. I know no one in the organization, never have. I just follow the antics of the now famous Marx Bros. version of the Disney Company and don't put anything past them.

The BAH is clad in composite metal panel (CMP - Commonly called Alucobond [one of three primary manufacturers]).

It's also the cladding on Spaceship Earth and Mission Space.

I'll be glad when it's gone.

It'd be like still having Cinderella's Castles as the 25th Anniversary Cake (shudder) all these years later and people saying, "We always remembered the giant castle cake at the end of Main St!"

That being said, it was the least offensive of the three (castle cake, Epcot wand, and hat).

I actually liked the Epcot want to usher in 2000.. It was dumb that it was up until 2007 before it was removed. Spaceship Earth does just fine all by itself. It doesn't need a Mickey Wand, 24/7 to make it better.

Then, it could be called the BFAH...."F" meaning "flaming" of course.

Nope.

Also nope. BAH, soon to be Formerly BAH, is mostly fiberglass and steel. SE is Alucobond.

dont forget a tiny banner on the chinese theatre "soooon..."

similar to this.. the squirrel being the hat.

( rubs hands together with gleeful anticipation for the glorious demo photos soon to be forthcoming )

new attraction on EPCOT, every month.. they will repeat the burningapocalypse of the BAH as it was removed from DHS.

finished by a gigantic fireworks explosion.

It only needs castle cake colors and magic wand now.

If you snip the tip of the hat then set ablaze from the bottom, imagine the torch of combustible vapor spewing out the top. That would be spectacular until structural integrity failed and it slowly falls into a pile of flaming goo on the stage. Kind of like the Wicked Witch of the West but with flames.

This reminds me of Japanese Hibachi......where they cut the onion and stack it in a volcano shape, pour some cooking oil in there, and light it! The effect is awesome! Smoke comes pouring out the top and it really looks like an erupting volcano. Hibachi Hat anyone???

Lovely image! I like the way you think

I remember going and asking my parents when the castle was turning back to normal...

Merry Late Christmas and Happy Hat Death Day everyone! Here's your present:

 

[Communicore]

I'm still thinking the pieces of BAH will be made into pins and sold at the relocated BAH pin store.

 

[G00fyDad]

Merry Late Christmas and Happy Hat Death Day everyone! Here's your present:

We should make that an unofficial Disney holiday. The day the hat itself is completely down and gone should be BAH Death Day.

I actually told my family, "We will not travel to WDW until that damned cake is gone," and we didn't. I hated it that much. Even today, it still looks incredibly ugly and ridiculous.

My daughter still talks about it and how much she hated it. In fact if I want to tick her off some, all I have to say is "cake castle"....and she's off.

As much as I hated the cake castle, at least they DID something for their anniversary. Now it's a cupcake, a pin, maybe some merch, and bored management trying to make a speech and overeager fans getting disappointed. Magic Kingdom deserved so much more for it's 40th.

Heck, did they even do anything for DHS's 25th?

Definitely. Heck, Disneyland got Indiana Jones Adventure for its 40th.
