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

[Sage of Time]

To all the doubters, and non believers, take a look at around the 8:26 mark.

I usually don't get nostalgic for MGM... but this was great. Having the hat down is wonderful, but I miss when that park actually was a working studio. We'll never get that back.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'll play one on the internet.. I have a friend who is a photographer who said that anything that can be seen with your eyes can legally be photographed. It may be different on private property, so they may be able to restrict photos, but more likely, due to the sheer number of cameras that are present at any given moment at a Disney park, if an entity has reason to restrict photographs of something at the park, they would only be able to restrict/limit Disney Photogs from taking pictures of it. Or it could be part of an agreement to share IP.

There are agreements in place at both Disney and Universal to be able to have the facades in their parks that give them rights to use those buildings.

What is this "Universal" I keep hearing of? I don't know what you're talking about.

I hear they have some pretty cool stuff.

New thread idea: Is the clock ticking on the 'Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerers Hat Icon at the Studios? YES' thread?

What a depressing thought. This thread has been a fun morning tradition ever since the demolition began. And now that the view of the Theater is back once more, it has turned into a joyous blast of nostalgia...seeing my childhood reborn through new images. It would be heartbreaking if this thread were to be locked.

What's even worse...if this thread were to be deleted.
Not only would all the history & fun that has unfolded over the past few months be completely erased, but I'd be down to only 3 posts again.

I think it's sort of like Univision.

We're not done here... there's still what "replaces" the BAH? Concrete? Stage? Flower bed (hahahahaha), combination thereof?

DVC BAH? I'm sure they could do it really tastefully.

What are they "back-hoeing"? Cement slabs? How far down are they digging? Enough for a retractable stage?

What about "Is the clock ticking on Gertie?" Personally, I hope not!

Congrats on the 8000th post of this thread!

I was making fun of how long this thread is but I've only managed to make it longer. The irony hurts my soul.

You just added another page. Congratulations.

Here are a few pictures I took from today.

Just seeing the openness of the plaza like that makes it nice...I like wide open spaces like that.

I think digging for a retractable stage would take something a little more substantial then a backhoe. They are probably just removing sections of concrete around where the hat touched the ground so it can be re-done.

and that is not a 'backhoe' behind the walls it is an excavator

backhoe

Hey as long as they make it large enough to encompass the entire park and air-condition it I'm game

It's the death star
....ofcourse it has air conditioning....it generates more power than the sun...and you question comfort cooling? There's a disturbance in the force.

I'm so sad… this is such a cool icon of Hollywood Studios! But I guess only me feels that way
