Wasn't the hat built so people couldn't photograph the front of the chinese theatre for copyright laws or something? Or did I just imagine hearing this? lol So what would they put there so people wouldn't photograph the theatre?

No, that's as just a big falsehood as the Sinkhole being the demise of Horizons. It's just a fan made rumor.:wave:

To be fair, they do have little guard shacks setup at the entrance to Commissary Lane and besides Sound Dangerous before you get to Star Tours.
Here is a picture of the one at Commissary Lane:

The portal is the main entry way that separated the true theme park from the true production facilities. As krankenstein points out, there are guard stations that separate the areas that were the "real working sets" (theme park areas pretending to be real production areas) from the theme parks. Its become an even bigger mess because almost all of the park has taken on the "real working set" persona.But then shouldnt they have another portal on the left side going towards Indy and Star Tours

They should completely get rid of the hat and make the Earful Tower the icon. Now some of you ask, how will it be seen? Well, they should move it behind Fantasmic/Hollywood Blvd. Another good spot would be by Indiana Jones/Echo Lake.

The problem with just moving the Earful Tower is that its presence is intrinsically linked to the production facilities. Studios had water towers incase the sets caught fire and they have become a part of the image of old Hollywood studios.
Walt Disney Studios Park has the Earffel Tower in the front of the park because the whole thing is "a real working studio".

Hat Rumor
I use to be a CP when it was MGM and I still keep in contact with a lot of the managers there, all of them so far have said from what they heard they are taking down the hat and that they want to return wdw to its "previous look" before they go forward with a bunch of new rides

Ahh I just had a flashback of being on the backlot tour tram and going down the Steets of New York. Of course we went around the back and they explained the false sets. The great days of the real studio tour!

There is another one of these faux studio gates near the Backlot Express / Indy Stadium area (my memory fails me on the exact location at the moment). As far as I know it is still there. I'm sure someone here can help me out with this.

I suspect that another reason that they want to remove the hat is because where it is now takes up what would be open space for performances and shows.
Also the DHS Christmas tree used to be there in Decembers.
It's taking up valuable space and not providing any benefit in return.
