Chinese Theatre spires

[ABQ]

That will make for an excellent centerpiece for this re-imagined park. Now I think someone mentioned something about them hopefully adding back searchlights? Does anyone know if that is actually happening?

One would hope, but you'd think some sort of permit would have been filed, as I assume it's more than just changing a light bulb at this point and I don't think @danlb_2000, with his CIA spook like information, posted anything more than just the spire install permit.

Looks good. Can't wait for the searchlights to come back.

The theater looks great! So when and why were these removed in the first place?

I'm glad they're up but I hope thy don't stay black. It just looks weird.

Old pictures show that they used to match the roof. Noted that they're supposed to look like copper too. Pretty sure we have a paint job coming.

That's an idea!!! Sorcery should come back when it's not SW or Frozen!

It looks to me like they're wrapped in some kind of black protective covering so as not to damage the character paint when being lifted into place.

Makes an ugly building look wayyyy uglier.

Although it was SitS was ground breaking for its time with the in-park fireworks, the show is horrible by today's standards. Imagine going from the Star Wars show to the Frozen show to the Villainy show and then reverting back to SitS. That would be an incredible disappointment.

Great pics Steve, when does Summer Fun end? The last pic was the one I was looking for most, to see how badly the stage obscures even the view of the spires.

SITS was upgraded for July 4th, NYE when the hat came.
Is Villainy scheduled this year?

The presumption is that they were removed because they could be seen over the top of the Hat and made it look weird.

I wish TCM would just fully rehab the thing... I think it would also be cool to recreate Disney movie premieres out front as a show. Star Wars weekends could make the theater look like it did when Star Wars premiered there for example. Use the theater as the true icon that it is!

While I would love a full refurb too, I can't imagine them closing yet another ride (even if just for refurb) in an already Work In Progress park.

If I'm being very optimistic, the small TCM update is to help get the park by until it can go down for a long refurb.

Excellent ideas!

Building looks like new.

And it's so awesome. I'm so glad it's safe....for now.
