Yeah, the GP would be upset if it was totally distroyed. Some have the hat in their memory as the castle of the park. It'd be hard to change that.
Some people also had the wand in their memory. We got that erroneous vision removed for them.
The people who have it locked in their memories were either
They have seen the light!
You, me, and most in this thread.
Hopefully TDO/WDI is like minded.
Just some interesting math in this. Making the untrue assumption that an equal number of people attend DHS each year, 40% of DHS parkgoers would have no memory of a time without the hat.The people who have it locked in their memories were either
A. Born after 2001.
B. Did not go to WDW before 2001.
Same with the Wand and they are fine.:lol::lookarounThe people who have it locked in their memories were either

That is a significant minority
I never understood everyones whining about the hat. The park needs an icon. I like it. I think it looks great especially at night.
I could not agree more with you. Our family loves it!
When did you first visit DHS/MGM?
What is "MGM?" :lookaroun
:lol:
Sweatshirters tend to simply like something because it looks nice....after that...they don't seem to try and understand why the object they like is there in the first place.
Agreed.Sweatshirters tend to simply like something because it looks nice....after that...they don't seem to try and understand why the object they like is there in the first place.
Anyway, I have no artistic talent but I do know good design when I see it and the hat is just not good design.
Isn't labeling people fun? Like, fanboys are never happy and only go to the parks to look for problem.Sweatshirters tend to simply like something because it looks nice....after that...they don't seem to try and understand why the object they like is there in the first place.
Maybe it was their first trip? Chances are they probably aren't the DoMs or Sweatshirt Moms, or whatever derogitory name fans have for common guest who have not reached fanboy nirvana.I remember walking through FW and hearing a family point at SSE (with wand, mind you) and saying: "Let's ride the Epacot next!!":lol:
Really? I honestly think it's a lovely building.Nice colors, surprising structure, (tilted!) and great lighting effects. It's just in the wrong place.

Has anyone stopped for a minute and thought, "how would these people feel if I went up to them in the park and told them what I called them, and the explained why I called them that?"
You might as well call them idiots or morons. Dressing up your insults in other words do not make the meaning any less. The simple fact is they enjoy Disney in a different way than you (plural) and you rale against them for.
Agreed.

Oh, and...Eh!? It just stood out to me. Not that hard to read a map. Or a sign.Maybe it was their first trip? Chances are they probably aren't the DoMs or Sweatshirt Moms, or whatever derogitory name fans have for common guest who have not reached fanboy nirvana.
Indeed. Move it to bag check/park entrance and you keep a nice piece of architecture, IMHO.My thought exactly. No one would be THAT angry or bothered by it if it were not so misplaced. I blocks a very iconic building replica & ride and is nothing more than a shrunken Camp Mickey/Minnie.
I was thinking the same thing until people posted all the photoshopped perspectives and they all caused sight line problems depending on where it was placed. I don't classify it as a building anymore than the wand was a building. And the fact it is a pin shop only makes it worse.
When they were building it I thought it was going to have some sort of special effects when standing under it and that it was actually designed as a minor attraction. I thought it would have a screen overhead like the "Freemont Street Experience" with Disney Animation/Movies/Music presented on the screen. But alas it turned out to be.......a pin store. :brick: Pathetic concept, pathetic design, :hurl:
Just my opinion though.
