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

My head can't even handle the idea that you just compared the BAH to Mr. Toad or 20K.

Offering appeasement to those who miss the BAH. See my reply to the earlier post who said they grew up with the BAH and will miss it but agree it detracted from the intention of the park. I share that sentiment and will miss the hat but not where it was located. My idea was offered in that fashion. If it helps, I see your point. Those were vastly revered compared to the BAH. I get it.

I get that - but the hat - a decoration - was in no way the equivalent of the only E ticket to ever close in a park.

Sorry for the crankiness - you hit a sore spot with 20k.

I thought about where you were coming from. I understand.

Whatever is constructed around it, I doubt the tower is going anywhere. If anything, once construction is finished, guests should see more of it as I doubt the former site of the tour will be anything other than an expansion for new lands and attractions, so they should be able to walk right up to it.

I agree 100%.

Got a call from Disney today. No chance of getting a piece of the Hat. The CM was as bummed as me that it was going away. She had started the year they started building it so it's always been there. Now it's not. All that, and it still didn't help me get one measley scrap of blue. Not only is it going away, but it's going away without a trace. And that sucks.

Do we think Disney will eventually sell pieces?

The top of the hat has not left the demo site yet...

Well you take away the hat what would you use to represent the park now? The other 3 parks can be described with, The castle, The ball, and the tree. I think most people would say Disney Studios...the one that used to have the hat. Your going to have to put in another landmark

It's not a ball - it's a geodesic sphere.

Come on people!!! Can we talk about Space Ship Earth like the architectural marvel that it is!?!

End of rant. Thank you.

Well... at least we know where the top of the hat (affectionately known as the "hat nipple") is going now!

(Disney California Adventure, on top of their theatre, for the 60th celebration)

Not really, though. Just trying to lighten the mood!

Spaceship Earth really is a technical marvel. It also doubles as the worlds largest Cat toy.

I just saw the pictures of Disneyland 60th anniversary decorations. I wonder how long their own BAHN will be atop the theater at DCA?

We have it on good word that the replacement will look like this:

too empty. let's put a hat infront!

One would hope, I meant more like... Exactly as it was or will they put a statue... Etc

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Walt and Ub Iwerks next to mickey and Oswald with a camera type statue.

 

[Cesar R M]

Does this mean everything is real if I do believe in it? What is fake and what is real anyway? Is not the fake theater a real structure? Will any semblance of sentience be left once my atoms are dispersed to the stars?

pss.. everything is a lie.. nothing is real.
You're just dreaming.. wake up neo!

 

[Cesar R M]

The Earful Tower was ALWAYS the icon. The fact that you even called Spaceship Earth "the ball" says more than anything.

to be honest, for people who never visited WDW.. Epcot's spaceship looks like a golf ball.

 

[marni1971]

it's on the backlot tour isn't it? you can't make the landmark of your park something that has been shut down or about to be replaced. The TOT i guess would be the best choice but not sure a ride should be the representation of that parks essence.

The hat was always inaccessible. Technically it wasn't on the tour either.

Not saying it will be, but the Tower Hotel would be fitting as a symbol for a park based on adventures in Hollywood.

 

[marni1971]

nobody said it had to be in the middle of the park....But it should be in a section of the park that's still open

In WDSP it's backstage.

In Orlando it's backstage.

If you actually look at it... its not a hat.

Over 6 hours to wait.

If I wasn't working graveyard shift, I'd probably still be online hitting Refresh every so often awaiting the day's progress report picture.

Wow. In this post alone I just realized how much of a life I don't have.
