The hat would be more awesome if it was shattered into a million little pieces and sent to the bottom of the Marianas Trench...

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

I can roll with this idea.

It would then be visible from World Showcase and be incredibly visible as it sat between the Morocco Pavilion and the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Having read about this problem for years, finally a side by side photo. That hat needs to go. Forget refurbs, new attractions. Priority #1 needs to be the elimination of that God forsaken eyesore.

I agree with this being an eyesore. You don't quite get a good view of the chinese theatre and that view of the theatre ties in good with the other buildings as you enter the park.
They could relocate the hat to one of the resorts if they insists on keeping it.

It doesn't have to be the same hat, it could be a smaller hat. I just think if DHS wants the Mickey Hat in some fashion that'd be a more appropriate way to do it.

That is true. There just seems to be an obsession amongst many where the BAH needs to be saved and repurposed.

Me too! And I like it right where it is.
If all these Hollywood purists really want the Mann Theatre to be the authentic center of DHS, then Disney will need to add some homeless guys laying around with brown paper bags in their hands. If you want it authentic.

There is a difference between reproduction and romantic image.

Don't forget the TV Guide skyscraper right in front of it to further block your view.

I agree. People claim that the Chinese Theater is the icon, but it's too unoriginal. The real one still exists in Hollywood! If I want to see it, I'll go to Hollywood. The Carthay Circle in DCA is different because the original no longer exists. I came to Disney to see some Mickey Mouse and Disney magic, not a recreation of something that already exists.

But Disney's Hollywood Studios is a labeled as a "Hollywood that never was - and always will be". Half of the park is revolved around classic Hollywood, and The Chinese Theater seems to be the perfect park icon because it seamlessly ties together two ideas of the park - the movies and classic Hollywood.

Much of Disney is recreations of something that already exists.

Read the posts a little more. Not all of us want the theater as the icon. I would like to have the water tower moved and made into the icon.

The people that perfer that giant hat haven't seen how amazing it is to look and and the the chinese theatre and the end of the street. It captures the feeling of Hollywood a lot more then that hat. It looked elegant in a way, i just don't get that feeling with the hat.

i'm not a Hollywood purist and i just want the hat gone because it adds nothing to the overall theme of the park. the theater is the only real plausible option to capture what the park is supposed to be: a wait for it... Hollywood...studio.

so just because "it's not going anywhere" means we have to just change our opinions about the hat? no screw you i hate the hat and i want it gone.
now, i came to terms with the fact that it's not leaving any time in the next decade. that doesn't make my personal feelings about it go away.
