Disney spokesman CONFIRMS to me the Hat is going away in early 2015
"Work continues on bringing new experiences to life at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and we look forward to sharing more information at a later date."

Quick question, since you're actively quoting someone, can you name the spokesperson?

It's like the Disney version of Ghostbusters.

I am so glad we aren't doing this in a Spirited thread. I hate being called into the principle's office.

Steve confirming it-here's a shout out to all the pixie dusters who said WDI didn't say it was going away on May 1, 2009.

Now, maybe we can start attracting a higher tier of guest.

Great news.

I noticed Steve liked this post. A subtle hint perhaps?

 

[ImagineerDude]

Gah something's obviously happening just announce it already! But I'm getting pretty excited now!

 

[djkidkaz]

And Steve confirming it on the main page now. But I didn't see him site any source like the parks blog. Is this just your own inside info Steve?

Heard an interesting rumor for GMR.

Premise: you are attending the red carpet premier of a GotG sequel and through the use of the LPS guided ride system and extensive 3D screens you are sucked into the action.

Sounds like Disney may finally be taking on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.

Sounds like something that'd date fast.

I never understood how placing a giant sorcerer's hat at the end of Hollywood Boulevard correlated with Walt Disney's 100th birthday in the first place.

 

[durangojim]

Cautiously optimistic until it's officially announced.

While I am happy to see it go, does this mean it will just end up a permanent stage?

 

[WDWFantasmicFan]

It has apparently been confirmed by Brian Malenius, Disney World Spokesman. I am just confirming this - but seems to be true from what i've found so far...

So technically were getting a Marvel ride themed to Guardians of the Galaxy to my understanding?

You need someone more powerful....

I love breaking out this little pic I made a few years back...

I can 100% confirm that the hat is going...

CM's were told recently: "We will soon begin to re-imagine the park’s central hub by removing the sorcerer’s Hat in early 2015. As part of that change, the store located underneath the hat will be closing, A closing date will be shared as we get closer to it.”
