[DocMcHulk]

No it's being scrapped. it will not be relocated.

glad to hear that. thanks!

*insert sarcasm font* I'm sure Martin will get RIGHT on that.

If I have time and the ability to do so I would like to make a mocking tribute video to the BAH.

There is nothing sad about seeing the hat like this. I want it to suffer. I want to see it shamed. A quick death is more than what it deserves. I want it to pay for it's years of injustice by public humiliation & tortur...okay, I just realized I must be in a really dark frame of mind right now.

Moving on.

True.

I just wanted to see a gigantic explosion, that's all.

True.

Disney should've hired Michael Bay to take care of the BAH.

Those there will be plenty. Many of us are planning backyard BBQ parties & fireworks for the day when the final piece is removed.

And you're invited.

Just wait until the truth comes out that the Hat is built out of irradiated baby seal pelts dried, hardened in the sun, and painted with dyes hand-made by the labor of any children who are lost at the parks.

this could be the perfect for an horror movie.

The best part is, we have plenty of fun left - this clock is going to tick and tick for a while yet!

After HatWatch, we have PlanterWatch, to see what flowerbeds they put in its place, then ChineseWatch, as we wait to see if they give the theatre a lick of paint and restore the spires to working order.

then Pixar land watch, then star wars watch.

If only we could tear down the bridge that a handful of posters stay under

Where is jt? Oh well Phil is here to phill in....

 

[marni1971]

how long before there will be BAH ultimate tribute videos on line I wonder?

I really should have trademarked that saying....

But who knew back then? Not me!

Considering the pin store came a bit AFTER the hat ...

Really? I thought the hold BAH deal was:
- merchandising wanted a big place to push pins
- merchandising came up with the giant hat place right up against the Chinese Theater
- they could swing it with some kind of celebration (like the wand at Epcot)

I thought that the whole point of the hat was a pin store. This is just history I'm remembering reading. Please correct if I'm wrong.

I thought the children lost in the parks were put to world in It's a Small World.

The original plan was for it to be before the park entrance, and it would hold One Man's Dream exhibit as well as a store plus two ferris wheels that looked like film reels.

Once built inside the park it had kiosks underneath the hat, it wasn't a pin store. The pin store came once they decided to keep the hat.

Someone else can probably explain it better.

Not my images

And the whole idea COULD have been to ultimately have a store there, I think it was merchandising who pushed the hat, maybe under the guise of a celebration, but it wasn't originally a pin store, that's all. Again, someone can probably explain it better.

I could have sworn that on my first visit back to Disney in 2004, the hat was nothing more than large concrete space kids ran loose in. My 6yo son being one of them.

The Wiki has this to say:

the Sorcerer's Hat debuted on September 28, 2001 as part of the 100 Years of Magic celebration at Walt Disney World Resort. The structure was inspired by the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment in Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia. During the celebration, interactive kiosks were installed underneath the Sorcerer's Hat where guests could learn about Walt Disney's life and career. When the celebration ended in early 2003, the kiosks were removed.

I like the new pins they started selling this week.

 

[JustInTime]

I don't know...IS the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat? The thread title seems to cast speculation.

 

[G00fyDad]

Can the moderators please just change the title of this thread so everybody can stop requesting that it be changed?
