The hat would be more awesome if it was shattered into a million little pieces and sent to the bottom of the Marianas Trench...
The hat would be awesome as an entrance to Fantasmic...just sayin'![]()

It would then be visible from World Showcase and be incredibly visible as it sat between the Morocco Pavilion and the Hollywood Tower Hotel.I can roll with this idea.
I've never liked that the hat doesn't completely block the theatre. If they really thought they needed a new icon, they could have at least made it look more professionally placed. Also, the juxtaposition of those two photos makes me think the palm trees have gotten too tall. I hesitate to recommend the removal of trees from the parks due to sometimes unsatisfactory replacements, but the palm trees are throwing off scale (along with the nonsensical hat).
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.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.

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

I like the hat
There is a difference between reproduction and romantic image.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.
Don't forget the TV Guide skyscraper right in front of it to further block your view.Me too! And I like it right where it is.

I never understood everyones whining about the hat. The park needs an icon. I like it. I think it looks great especially at night.
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.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.

People need to realize that hat isn't going anywhere to much money to tear down or move and not worth it.
