There's a hole, there's a hole, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea.So maybe it would be easier for WDI to build something to block the stage that blocks the hat that blocks the theater.

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

But the what's to stop them from building something that blocks that? Where does it end? WHERE DOES IT END?!!!So maybe it would be easier for WDI to build something to block the stage that blocks the hat that blocks the theater.

I sincerely doubt that hat is going anywhere.

Yes. The stage was gone by the 15th of September.

What if they built another Chinese Theater?So maybe it would be easier for WDI to build something to block the stage that blocks the hat that blocks the theater.

They should totally build another, smaller, cartoony Chinese Theater, put the stage back (but theme it to Teen Beach Movie AND Monsters University), then the hat, then the real Chinese Theater behind it. It's like, four icons in one! Then they should hang Disney Planes and Frozen posters all over the Chinese Theater itself, and have the queue become one giant Frozen dance party, with the latest hits like Blurred Lines and We Can't Stop!

Four years, nothing yet. I keep hoping.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Hmmmmm, maybe if we just wait long enough, chunks of it will start to fall off, and the powers-that-be will decide it's cheaper to demo it, rather than to install nets underneath it or strobe light it.

Eh...it's Disney...they be like "Meemories? We don't need no steeking meemories!"
Though, honestly, there should be a cutout of myself behind Harvey and Slim there...'cause ooooh I hate that darn hat (Yosemite Sam Voice here!)... either move it or kill it off...

I guess the question would be who edited the film? If it's Lightstorm who did the other versions of the "Ultimate Walt Disney World" shows, were they informed as to why? Did they have orders...or did they just figure on doing something different?

I like this point that you make. If Disney is making and selling tshirts with the earful tower then it must be because they want it as the icon, or its what they want the park guests to remember. The only problem with this theory is that, would park guest really remember the earful tower over the hat, so long as the hat is still there? I think its a good business plan to phase the hat out. But i just cant wrap my head around the idea that the average park guest wouldn't recognize the hat as the park's icon.

Apparently the hat will go before thanksgiving, (according to Orlando theme park news). This would give 2014 a fresh start without the hat, giving the park time to adapt to a new icon.
Rumours are Rumours though
At this point I think plans may have changed, as they may wait a little longer until the expansion plans are finalized. Think about that: Cars Land looked like it was a sure thing for DHS a few months ago!

I like the earful tower, but the only problem I have with it being an icon, is that it hardly visible. It's way in the back, and you have to look for it. All the other icons are right in your face, not this one. Why?

I didn't know this. I was there in June so it was still there for me. They were doing some Monsters University show there
Because back in the day, Disney Parks didn't have to be all in your face with everything. They had a subtle charm that, sadly, is lacking today. The Earful Tower fit the theme of a working movie studio, and you got to see it while on the marquee ride.
Besides, I always felt the Chinese Theater was a great focal point for the park. The Chinese Theater and the Earful Tower represented two ends of a spectrum, a dichotomy if you will, of icons for the park - one representing the hard work it takes to make a movie, and the other representing the grandeur and beauty of a completed motion picture. The Chinese Theater, representing the beauty and grandeur of the movies, was right out in front to see. The Earful Tower, representing the hard work it takes to make a movie, was buried inside the working studio. It worked. It worked really, really well.
Then they put up that BAH and destroyed the thematic masterpiece that had been created a decade earlier.

Reading a great post like AdmiralO1*s above reminds me how much i want that *bleeping* hat gone.
I have waited 12 years to get that view back at the end of Hollywood Blvd.
