Wow, you aren't kidding. I'm watching them now on the mattercam, and much of the sign is already gone. Several construction guys out on scaffolding working on the "hotel" letters of the sign.
Thank you Howard Johnson!

Looking at the cam this morning and all the letters have been removed.

Actually the doors are open. It's a common thing they do for some reason when the park is closed

Letters are gone and 3 cranes can be seen on the HoJo cam.

I’m glad the rumors were true about exterior work going forward before closing ToT. While this isn’t the typical model for re-doing an attraction, this does give me more confidence that this re-theme will be well done. If Disney rushed out GotG re-do in 4-5 months, chances are it wouldn’t be very good, but 9-10 months is a decent amount of time to pull off a well executed re-theme.
I still have my doubts about the wisdom of this change, but since it's happening, I'm glad time is being invested to do a decent job.

It probably has something to do with preventive maintenance tasks performed on the ride.

Only Disney could put up banners around the resort capitalizing on removing a fan favorite and then remove the iconic sign 3 months early. But be sure to grab your commemorative "last chance to check in" t-shirt on the way out!

I'm probably the only person here excited about this. If the GoTG transformation was happening in the late 90s I'd be very worried, but given Disney Park's recent track record in Anaheim I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

Like the really care. Just buy your shirt, shut up and move on and oh don't forget to renew that pass! Disney fans keep being taken as fools and the contempt they show for their fans is mind blowing when you pay attention. Anyway enough rambling I suppose

Me too, with emphasis on the ‘cautiously’

This looks disgusting. Absolutely unacceptable.
Disney, you couldn't wait until the attraction actually CLOSED before taking down the signage? What kind of mess is this?

Have you seen the proposed look of the new structure? This might be the last time it looks decent for a long time.

Yes, I have. It's going to look completely out of place in Hollywood Land when it opens.
This is a great example of terrible show. There is no signage, and yet the ride is still open.

No I know...my response was more tongue in cheek relating to the ugliness of the new structure's look.
It is really sad and a total head-scratcher why they would take the sign down at this stage of things. But I guess they figure the building still stands enough as an icon so people won't be lost trying to find it even without a name on the front.

True. Which points to Hollywoodland being much reduced or going away completely to make way for Marvel.
