Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

Maybe they could just close the park completely for one year... Blitz the park...make all the changes and in a year reopen, re-branded and complete... Construction projects wuold not have to work around guests...Guests wold not have to go through a park full of construction walls and shuttered attractions... Unfortunately until Avatar opens I don't think this would be possible... they need a little more capacity in the other parks...

don't forget they could work 24hrs a day. Not going to happen though.

If the GMR is updated I Wouldn't be surpRised to the Carthay take its place....yes there is a small one already but easily fixed if they wanted

Why would they bother doing that?

Thanks, I cannot imagine how I never noticed that before. I appreciate the picture, now I know what we are talking about at least. If I had to guess, however, I would say that they were taken down for reason not related to the BAH.

They used to retract into the building for the original Sorcery in the Sky. During the day they were raised.

So any chance that they are still retracted inside the structure?

And something new I've learned from you, Martin.

I believe only one retracted, to provide a clearer view of the inflatable Sorcerer Mickey.

Well that answers that. Anything that requires a mechanical raising and lowering will eventually stop working, corrode and not be repaired. So, I still think that they won't be back.

the things you learn in a forum!

You must be fun at parties.

But this post is quite accurate, which is saddening.

The Disney Parks Blog has been doing a series of posts on the construction of the park icon... behold the construction of the Hollywood Studios park icon:

A little viagra and all will be fine.

I feel a need to say something after seeing these beautiful photos of a scene i have so missed.
Here goes....


I am VERY happy the demolition permit has been officially filed. FINALLY.
Very much looking forward to getting this view of the Theater back.
Oh yes. VERY much looking forward to that.
Looking forward to the return of the lovely view down Hollywood Blvd. again, as well.

Oh yes.....

Not safe but not closing imminently if it does close. Its location, alone, would leave in endangered.

I don't think anything is safe at the studios except Star Tours, RnR and ToT.

What about TSMM and Fantasmic?

I'm sure Steve meant to include Midway Mania. Fantasmic could always change.

TSMM is a gimmie, yeah. But, it wouldn't break my heart to see Fantasmic change. I doubt they'd scrap the arena though.

 

[dstrawn9889]

could move OMD to the DisneyQuest Bldg, and have tons more room to show Walts Story

Yep TSM stats, goes without saying, Fant - clock is ticking.
