Removing the hat would help GMR's attendance, possibly causing the much needed refurb to happen and making it the iconic attraction it once was.
Oh yes, please!!!Removal of the hat would more than likely prevent both of these ... We can only hope!
Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate it. But, did you read my post really carefully? Perhaps just read it again...slowly...lol.
Personally, I disliked this and BPB. I like PPP at DCAFriends in Entertainment are saying that an announcement has been made declaring that Countdown To Fun will be closing around April 6th. No news on what will be replacing it, if anything.
Good riddance.
Idealy, they would be rehearsing the new parade overnight before the old one even closes...Surely CTF ends now so cast can rehearse for a new parade do summer (3 weeks rehearsal time for a monstrous summer parade?) that will give time for re-theming of the floats?
Just a thought!
Add to that being able to enjoy this beautiful view again....
Thought folks might be interested to see this internal memo sent out that Studioscentral.com posted:
Disney’s Hollywood Studios continues to offer numerous other shows for Guests, including Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage and the newly updated Disney Junior – Live on Stage!.
Why are you doing this?
We regularly and carefully review the entertainment offerings in our parks and make adjustments as part of our normal course of business.
What will happen to the Cast Members in Pixar Pals and Disney Channel Rocks?
Most of the affected Cast Members will be moved to other locations. The cast of singers from Disney Channel Rocks will have opportunities to audition for other roles.
Is a new parade being developed for Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Although we are not adding a new parade at this time, we are always evaluating and refining ourofferings and considering new ideas to build upon Disney stories
Although CTF wasn't the best parade and DCR needed an updating, there's no excuse to remove two huge entertainment options with no planned replacements. DHS is a park that can use any and every single attraction, show, or parade to keep people in the park, I mean does TDO not realize that?
I still say that we will likely never see that view again, or at least have it as prominent in DHS promotion, because in the real Hollywood, the original Grauman's Chinese Theatre now competes directly with Disney's El Capitan Theatre (http://elcapitan.go.com/) across the street, where Disney now owns the whole block (including Jimmy Kimmel's theatre and Disney Soda Fountain)... all of which compete with the real Grauman's Chinese theatre.
As sad as it is, I think that the real (or reel) life competition on Hollywood Boulevard affects this icon here, and more important our portrayal here of "old Hollywood," in which the Chinese Theatre was instrumental.
Demolition????It was to reallocate funds. As to where they will wind up, that has yet to be determined.
World Showcase was planned to host a parade from the start.Tapestry of Dreams/Nations at Epcot. A park that was never designed for a parade.
Y...yo...you mean WS promenade wasn't designed to host a food and booze stand every ten yards to cater to a horde of drunk obese people?World Showcase was planned to host a parade from the start.
Killing the lousy parade and the beyond bad Disney Channel show were decisions made by new WDW Prez George Kalogridis himself.
