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

[BrerJon]

The hat's starting to look like a Michael Bay Decepticon.

Upon looking at a can - you are correct it's "Cover the Earth" my bad

Admittedly the difference is inconsequential in most contexts. Just in this one it isn't...

After hours event tonight for Sherwin Wolliams paint.

Dang, would be nice if they'd toss some new paint up on the Great Movie Ride while they were partying.

 

[Communicore]

Maybe Sherwin Williams involve sophisticated paintball guns which will repaint the theater. It would be great if they can repaint other structures as well!

Yes, the hat was grossly misplaced. However, it certainly did look more vibrant (in it's prime) than the theatre ever did.

 

[BrerJon]

It's no secret I thought the hat looked a whole lot better than the theater. But i'm resigned to knowing the theater will be the view from now on, no 'icon' will be built in it's place, and I'm fine with that. It will be nice to have that area back... or, let's hope Disney restores that area. It used to have very pretty gardens.

Pretty gardens would be nice, but judging by the Hub redevelopment at MK, I think big concrete plazas are the in thing at TDO right now.

It's not about being vibrant... It's about telling a story. Unfortunately a lot of "newer" fans don't seem to understand that.

I *love* the effects shot at 18 seconds in on this video:

HAH! We need an animated GIF of that!

I do value story, and agree with your point, but they could've "plussed" the theatre a little more in the original designing process.

How? It looks exactly like the real building, which is an icon all on it's own. I'm sorry that they didn't throw glitter and feathers on it.

And I think that right there is the thing I and others who loved the hat really don't get. I've never been a fan of Hollywood, and even though I'd have given my left arm to be a director back when I was in college, the 'glamour' thing and self-celebration of all things Hollywood just makes me sick. So, the story of the street really just passes me by.

Maybe they should have went the other way, constructed more large hats and renamed it Disney Hat Studios. The acronyms around here still would work!

How long did this hat take to install?

So because you don't like the theme we should ruin it for others is what you're saying?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Some don't understand the difference between theme/story and decoration. Those folks also tend to rave about how amazing AoA and POP are while not understanding what the big deal is about WL or AKL.

Not at all. Not sure how you derived that.
I simply said I was agreeing that I don't get the "Wow factor" that others get when walking down Hollywood boulevard there and seeing the stores and Theater.

Then I can only assume MSUSA is just a walkway to the real fun?

Well then the point of half of DHS is lost on you isn't it?

The good half, too. The half that will largely be untouched by the park remodel because it aesthetically and thematically works.
