I prefer to think of it as less of a stage and more of a Hat Memorial. May it forever be there so that future generations may know about the grand chapeau that once graced DHS with it's magnificent presence.

Seriously though, whoever designed these stage needs to be fired. At least cover the metal with Main Street style painted scrims or something - make some kind of effort to keep it in theme. On the one hand Disney appears to have decided theme and detail is important after all, restoring the spires, yet on the other the stage remains which shows the same level of incompetence and ignorance as those behind the BAH did.

Well...not every part of the company works together so the stage still being there makes sense. Can't wait for October when that is down though....side note...why have they not turned the theater into a stage yet? Like put a stage in the space around the theaters entrance, keeps the classic view but also lets them do shows..Make's more sense to me...and saves money in the long-term.

Problems with the stage:
-too tall, needs to be shorter
-doesn't fit the theming
-in the way of guests trying to reach GMR
If they are going to put the stage there since they do events such as Frozen Summer of Fun and most likely Season of the Force, utilizing the stage as part of the fireworks production, they need something shorter that does not block the view of the Chinese Theater and that fits the theming of the general area.
The design on this stage was, unfortunately, pure laziness on the part of Disney this time around. Looks like something you could rent for an outdoor concert.

That's exactly what this stage is. I think they added support structures for the stage with the hat removal. Hopefully the stage won't be up 365 days each year.

The worst was when there was not only the BAH, but the stage in front of it as well!

I assume the stage will become the "Season of the Force" stage once the "Frozen Summer" is over?

Not likely due to the amount of time from Frozen summer ending to Season of the Force Starting. Right now, Frozen Summer is supposed to end next month, but Season of the Force is supposed to start early 2016.
I recall DHS having New Year Eve Fireworks and is possible that the stage would be needed for that before the stage gets turned into Season of the Force.

I doubt that Hollywood and Sunset are going anywhere.I just had a horrible thought. What if they COMPLETELY redo the ENTIRE park with the reworking of DHS?? They could conceivably remove the line of sight we have with the theater!
Yeah, they have to figure out a way to keep the park open during the new construction, wouldn't want to lose the entire revenue stream for a couple of years. If they shutdown Hollywood and Sunset, they'd have to find another viable route for all that foot traffic. I don't think it would be that easy with the way everything is laid out....

I wasn't talking about the park shutting down. I was talking about the (extremely) remote idea that they would revamp this area once the other two major areas are complete. I'm sure it will never happen. It was sort of a "knowing Disney's mentality about blocking the theater" sort of thing.
Ah I see. I was just thinking that if they tried to tear up and rework those two main streets that they'd have to figure out how to reroute traffic. But I see your point. Finish the other areas, maybe add a second gate and then do those areas.I wasn't talking about the park shutting down.

Frozen Summer Fun ends 9/8 so not that long until the stage comes down.
