Yah, that's whats been talked about in the new park maps thread

Not holding my breath, but hopefull non-the-less.

Now that I think about it, they could remove the hat to create more space for the Star Wars expansion. However, think about the time it will take to remove the hat. HS could be shut down for several days.

They wouldn't shut down the park(I would imagine). Also, that space in front of the theater being used for star wars really doesn't solve the issue that the hat produces.

I'm not getting excited until Disney themselves actually announce BAH's demolition.

It seems like a sign though. I don't think is a coincidence.

Probably won't directly announce/address the demolition, IMO. Disney's system seems to be

1. Announce the selling of vintage, limited edition T-shirts based on the experience.
2. Shut down the attraction.
3. Sell pins containing a "piece" of the closed attraction, making an announcement of their sale on the DPB.

Let me rephrase that... I won't believe it until I see the wrecking ball.

But in all seriousness, they would at least release some sort of statement.

They didn't have to close down the park when they were building the monstrosity...

Not sure why that thread wasn't rerouted to this one.

It pertains to the same subject.

Probably because it had to do with more then just the hat, the new hub is shown also.

As has been mentioned before, nothing wrong with the hat by itself as an icon. But it's more appropriate for the Animation Courtyard. This way, WDW keeps the hat AND the view is opened up along Hollywood Blvd. again.

Ah forgot about that teensy weensy detail, but still, this thread has been up here forever, so there's no reason as to why the map omission shouldn't appear on this thread.

except its too big for that small space

 

[John]

Always remember at WDW nothing happens until it happens. More things are rumored, announced, projected, suggested and reported then things that actually happen. Also as we know there is a WDW time clock. Even the things that do come to fruition come on the same schedule as a leap year.....I think. of course except if its a DVC resort.

I find it interesting the wall opening in the animation courtyard. (aka the linking of Mickey Avenue with the animation Courtyard.

not if they put it on top of the animation studio entrance.
where the mickey with the animation reel is.

Are you talking about the opening in the wall between the archway and the GMR? That's been there for many years. There are stairs and a ramp. They knocked that through to alleviate foot traffic through the archway.

We had to enter via the archway! o_o
