The registers at the pin store had clocks on them, so there kinda was!

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.
That would have been epic!

I suggest we just change the title to "Is the clock digitally counting on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios?" Oh oh. I just noticed that the title named the BAH as the park icon. The OP was written by our fearless leader Steve. So much for the "it's never been the icon" crowd.

Just wanted to put this out there. A Photopass photographer was stationed in front of GMR for a brief amount of time yesterday. I was actually able to get my photo in front of GMR.

The technology exists, they should project a clock onto the hat! That I may enjoy even more than celebrate the magic!

I don't remember anyone arguing that the BAH wasn't considered an ICON by many people and Disney. The biggest argument is that the Theater would become the Icon or that it ever was. (the answer is no to both, btw) The argument is that the Earful Tower was the original Icon and Disney seemed to want the Hat to be it. An Icon is what the people except as being one. In this case there appeared to be a middle of the story attempt to change to the BAH. Those that never knew the park before the BAH accepted what they were told. Those that had been there before knew better and never looked at it as being anything other then a huge eyesore. Looks like, in this case, the old folks won.I suggest we just change the title to "Is the clock digitally counting on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios?" Oh oh.

Hooray for our side!

That would have been an awesome addition.

I have you know I'm of the "BAH generation." I have never known the park without it and I hate where it is and the fact it doesn't represent Hollywood. I'm probably one of the only ones out there at my age. Your right, actual fans won this time!

Instead of closing the Backlot Tour they should have got Michael Bay to demonstrate a hat demolition instead of the Pearl Harbour bombing.

Who needs Oscar viewing parties, the day the last piece of hat disappears households across the nation will be holding get togethers to watch classic MGM movies, drink copious toasts to the hat's demise, and wear pointed party hats which they symbolically burn them at the end of the night.
