Goodbye BAH!!!

[copcarguyp71]

Today marks the beginning of the end of the BAH. Some are happy...some are sad but no matter what it hopefully marks a new commitment by Disney to a forgotten park.

I, myself will not be sad to see the hat go. The theater behind it is such a wonderful bit of architecture and I hope they bring it to the forefront of the scenery in the middle of the park.

I second the "Bon Voyage" to the BAH.

 

[WDWVolFan]

I hope it's all the way gone when we're there in late May...SEE YA!

 

[JHD721]

I personally am going to miss the hat. To me, the theater is nice, but it's a replica....not an original Disney creation. All the other parks have icons that are uniquely Disney, the theater to me is not unique to Disney.

So long farewell....

RIP BAH

It came. It outstayed its welcome. Its going. its gone to the graveyard of things remembered.

 

[JIMINYCR]

Glad to bid it farewell also. Hopefully Disney will be smart and not replace it with some other obscene structure that will obscure the view up Hollywood Blvd.

I want a photo progression! is that weird? I feel like in any other situation excitement over a building being torn down would be looked at oddly, but in this case no reservations exist!

Put that scrap next to the mess the had on Spaceship Earth a few years back. Let's move forward and make this a better park.

It came. It outstayed its welcome. Its going. its gone to the graveyard of things remembered.

Maybe they can make it part of the Backlot Tour....ooohhhhh waaiiiitttt.

 

[Susan Savia]

Took a few pictures of it this morning. Will be nice to see the Theater again.

 

[ShoalFox]

I'm too young to remember MGM/DHS before the hat, but I came to despise it after seeing how Hollywood Blvd looked before it was built. Good riddance!

 

[Snoopy]

Adios, BAH.

Dear BAH,

You are like the relative who won't leave the party hours after other guests have gone home. You are like the child who won't fly the nest by age 25. You are like the scar which won't heal. But now the time hath come to bid thee farewell. The lingering relative is finally being forced to leave, the child is finally sprouting wings and preparing to venture onward, the scar finally healed with proper ointment...your journey is reaching it's joyous conclusion.
Over the past many-a-year you have delighted few while annoyed many. For years you just stood there, stretching up toward the heavens, gleaming in the sunlight like a gigantic blue candycorn pooped-out by a smurf. Well those days are coming to a close dear BAH.
So now your role in the ever-changing stage that is WDW has reached it's final act. Some may applause what you have accomplished, but others like mine self shall see joy & splendor in your coming absence.
Do not take any of this personally, BAH. 'Tis not you as a symbol upon which our aggressions over past decade hath been aimed. Your legendary presence in animation shalt forever be highly esteemed. But 'tis your role as a theme park icon which has become more than monotonous.
And now I must end this. Go your merry way, BAH, step down from yonder pedestal so that our eyes may once more gaze down Hollywood Blvd. onto that glorious symbol of film & cinema which has been shadowed far too long.

Farewell, and Godspeed.
