With the earful tower thing...I don't know if theres any truth to this, but I heard that Disney needs to pay MGM whenever they use this. Is this true? It just sounds a little wierd to me that a Mickey mouse water tower isn't owned by Disney.

I must say, that at first, I hated it, I thought it was stupid. But then, I saw the concept art on the studios news page, and I was impressed. I think that it will look good, and it will give the studio more of a direct Icon, I mean, the water tower is there, and so is the chinese theater, but the theater is too small, and the tower can't even be seen once in the park, and this hat can be seen while driving by the theme park, you can see the blue tip poking up. I think it will look good once it is done. As much as I hate to say it, though, they should take the shinese theater facade down. It makes the area cluttered..

I think that the hat is most definitely in the wrong place. It should have been built as the entrance to Fantasmic. During the day it could have been the major pin selling station for MGM and at night everyone could walk through to get to and from Fantasmic. The placement destroyed the whole I'm in Hollywood real movie studios feel that MGM first presented you when you entered the park. Now it's going to be like wow, I'm looking straight at a hat, boy now I really feel like I'm in Hollywood. As far as job cuts---the person who came up with this brilliant idea needs to go first!![]()

Yes an icon should be in the center of the park but I personally think that the Theater was great to look at comming into the park. It was a great picture spot already. however, as I've learned in the past Disney may have a very good reason for blocking out the theater from main sight. Perhaps major construction work or something. Especially if MGM is ending their contract with Disney.
