It's surprising how many people I know think Google Earth is live, and try to get me to see them on it.

It's surprising how many people think Google Earth imagery if from satellites, when in fact most of it is from airplanes.

"The traditional aerial survey involves mounting a special gyroscopic stabilized camera in the belly of an airplane and flying it at an elevation of between 15,000 feet and 30,000 feet, depending on the resolution of imagery you're interested in. As the plane takes a predefined route over the desired area, it forms a series of parallel lines with about 40 percent overlap between lines and 60 percent overlap in the direction of flight."

Also, it's surprising how many people think that a satellite can hover over a location. The only orbital location that can stay over a fixed point on earth is a geostationary orbit, which is at an altitude of over 22,000 miles and on the equator. This is hardly a location for a camera.

The Hat was specifically a temporary installation for 100 Years of Magic. It was intended to be in the park for that year only, with WDI/TDO knowing it could remain longer, based on how things go. But the original plan was it was an installation just for that marketing event.

It's scheduled to take around 3 weeks to come down, give or take.

Articos, have you gotten any word on if they are moving the hat or just retiring it forever?

Youd be surprised how many times that as been mentioned. I even gave some photoshoped images of how it would look. Like a year ago.

Sorry...I'm new here. I was just going by this thread and the idea had not be mentioned here so I thought I would mention it.

New rumor from a bus driver in Boise: the hat is being removed and repainted gray and white, and will be placed next to Everest at Animal Kingdom, representing K2. There it will house a new attraction where park guests can throw quarters at a motionless animatroic Yeti.

False.
