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

[Kman101]

Yeah, I try not too myself. But with three boys I have to every now and again. Also, makes for a nice A/C spot out of the heat, the Hallway that is. I wish they could do more with Innoventions. Hopefully there will be some changes soon as the Test Labs and IBM Think are going away now.

It needs life to it. It just seems dark and empty of people. I bet so many people skip it.

Looking at the more recent images of the hat, seems to me it's a bit... dirty. Not sure it can be reused anywhere without some polishing and refurbishment.

Speaking of the tombstones in Epcot, how much longer on the guarantee do they have?

There's probably a countdown thread on here for those if we look. Admittedly, I'm past believing Disney cares about the appearance of Epcot's entrance.

Is anyone there now? Can you give us some photo updates? I'll be there on Monday.

I will at the World next Mon-Wed 1/12 to 1/14. I hope to get some nice aftermath pics while I'm in DHS on Tues.

I was meaning to head to the parks this week but I'll probably drop in sometime next week. Hit all three parks in the beginning of December, and it was marathon weekend this week so next week sounds better to me, LOL. Just for the day but it will probably be DHS since I skipped it last time. I was going to wait for the hat to go away but my pass expires in May and we all know they move slow ... LOL

yeah I agree... it also takes up a good size footprint to have so little

The question is what year did the stop doing it? I remember it was a 20 year guarantee from time of purchase.

Someone on this forum has to know that answer... @marni ?

It ended in 2007 http://www.yesterland.com/legacy.html

Yesterland's site states this.
You can no longer purchase a square on the Epcot Legacy Sculpture, but the monument itself will remain where it is until at least 2027.

Move the hat near the entrance to the park. Always thought the hat was a dumb idea much like the wand on the ball.

 

[righttrack]

Make the executive who greenlighted ruining Maelstrom sit on the point of that hat as his/her permanent office.

 

[Communicore]

As much as I'd love it to disappear over night, realistically that's not happening, so I'm actually OK seeing chunks missing. LOL. I hate that thing where it's at and want to see that demolition.

Yes, give it the Horizons treatment!

2027?! Hardly. I think there was a 15-20 year agreement for LaL. Which means... 2015 could be the year.

Betting on stars and moons
This brings me back to the Wand removal thread days back when I was a lurker.

Ah yes...'Wand Watch 2007" was epic and glorious on so many levels.
I remember the day it was officially announced....such a cry of joy from so many.

 

[Figments Friend]

There is a large timeline of EPCOT history in the back hallway in Innoventions - West Building It is behind The Character Spot.

I'm pleased that this has remained long after the 25th happened.
Really cool to walk by that when i visit...as it is a nice little reminder still present in the Park of what happened.

It'd be cool to see these banners still up..But, they were taken down..

isn't 2007 (when it ended) + 20 years = 2027?

2027 though... shew... by then we'll have a 6th park (or maybe they'll be breaking ground on Star Wars land)

If that actually happens, i think more then a few fans heads would probably explode at the thought of both the accursed Hat AND the monoliths left over from 'Leave A Legacy' were removed during the same year.

Yeah, the fan community would probably go into meltdown...in a gleefully joyous way.

 

[Kman101]

I want to say 2017 rings a bell for me for the tombstones and that some date was posted on the boards at one point, but I'm really not sure.

You know with all the Open space that's coming to Innoventions...This would be a good place to move the tiles...

 

[Kman101]

I just want someone on the inside to tell me there's a plan, somewhere, to remove those things and management/WDI is just as interested in seeing them go as we all are.
