Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

[Brian]

suddenly.. a Al Burj Khalifa sized Hat.

Imagine they're tearing it down only to make a larger hat?

So being at two resorts is fine for an icon but four, with the one in question being wholly unique in design, is too much?

What icon is at two resorts?

Hat watch continues...

Quick! Is the clock ticking on that hat? No, it's not the sorcerer's hat, but this may be one step closer to solving the mystery!

What icon is at two resorts?

Sleeping Beauty Castle (Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland), Cinderella Castle (Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland) and the Earful Tower (Disney's Hollywood Studios and Walt Disney Studios Park)

Fair point. I wasn't even considering the non-US parks.

Hat will soon be free!

I really hope that they don't erect a giant Mr. Hankey instead of the Osmond Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights.

Mr. Hanky has been sitting in front of the Chinese Theater for the past 13+ years.

I could see the Canadian Lumberjacks getting a lot of street cred if they accidentally took out the Sorcerer's Hat, Stitch's Great Escape, and the Leave a Legacy Tiles.

Just leave the animatronic in a good place. That thing is good, but the show.. nope nope.

Do we know for certain the hat is not going to be relocated anywhere on property? So happy the end is almost near for this thing. It was nice for a temporary addition, but it more than overstayed its welcome.

I am going to be very interested to see where this goes in how they are going to market the parks icon now???? Will it switch back to the Earful Tower? A new icon/logo? If this planned so far in advance, you would think this would have been implemented into merchandise like the magic bands, etc which still depict the hat.

Actually it's going to Hollywood to sit in front of the real Chinese Theater.

I get what your saying. It's facade is unique to DHS, no doubt about it. I just want the icon to go back to the Earful Tower and by the construction walls design it looks like it is for now.

Any progress? We've been here since Thursday and haven't had a chance to check this thread. Raining today.

Yeah, this is being saved for re-location.

Seeing the inside of the hand is pretty cool. You can see in the "V" between the two fingers they installed a drain pipe to catch rain water collecting there. What I don't understand is there seem to be a A/C duct going up to the side of the top finger. Can't figure out why that would be there.

If those are from this morning it doesn't look like any progress was made last night. It rained all night.

The two pictures I posted are not from today.

For some reason I want to say that they had AC blasting on the hot summer days for the CM's who were working the store. Only reason I say that is because my wife and I took refuge there once or twice so we wouldn't melt. I could be wrong though...

I think it's the same as yesterday unless they removed the back of the hand (but it looks like it's still there from the frontside view).

The BAH hand seems intricate. I am amazed!
