You know it is an awesome view especially in that picture. But it would be a better view if it was in an appropriate environment, like Animation Courtyard, housing an actual attraction, like an animated Great Movie Ride. The hat is a great view until it is view from the start of Hollywood Boulevard (the entrance) and when you realize it is just a pin shop, concealing an appropriate structure and attraction behind it.
Awesome view - we love you.....

Only in that picture.

I was at DHS last week...and that thing looks like crap! The panels that make up the hat are all different shades of blue...some being really faded. Also, I noticed a number of lights out on that thing. Then you've got that pin store under it, a big stage in front of it, and a great facade hidden behind it.
I'll take the pre-hat view anyday.

Well, I was thinking the RCID or county landfill as a more appropriate setting. Look great alongside SpectroMagic.
Seriously, though, there are some places within WDW where the hat would work better. All-Star Movies, perhaps?

Wouldn't be nice to see the hat like this? Being Dis-Assembled?
Okay yes it's a photo of when that POS was being put up...But, hey a guy can dream can't he?
And do we "really" Need 2 Sorcerer Hats in this Resort? The other's at the All Star Movies..

No budget to remove that hat. No budget to redo those searchlights either. Both views are gone.
Awesome view - we love you.....
But all the money in the world to buy back shares and pay obscene salaries and bonusses to TWDC's one percent. Merry Christmas to all our crisis-stricken families, especially the ones now priced out of a WDW vacation.

Somehow I think this quote is relevant...
November 7, 2013|By Jason Garcia, Orlando Sentinel
Walt Disney Co. reported another quarter of double-digit profit growth Thursday, boosted by higher summer prices for tickets and hotel rooms at Walt Disney World and the company's other theme-park resorts.
The results capped a fiscal year in which Burbank, Calif.-based Disney turned a profit of $6.1 billion, an 8 percent jump from 2012. Sales across the media-and-entertainment giant rose 7 percent for the year to $45 billion, another company record.

At least this one looks like a hat, not a crummy oversized cone.[/quote]
This one must not get the Botox injections the other one gets...time has been harsh!

Well said..I like the concept of this hat, but not the location...
Since opening day in 1989, Hollywood Studios has had an icon and it still stands to this day aka, The Chinese Theater (Great Movie Ride). The best thing that they could do is move the Sorcerer Hat into the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. I think it would be an awesome entrance way or even aesthetic for the Fantasmic show since it features Sorcerer Mickey.

The official icon was the Earful Tower, and as long as they keep "studio's" in the name, it should stay. The reason why the theater wasn't the icon was because it didn't tower over the park like the castle, Space Ship Earth and the Tree of life and the Earful Tower continues to do. As many have said, it has never been the existence of the Hat that bothered me it was the location. If they wanted to make the Hat the Icon they could have put it in the Animation Courtyard where it would have physically and esthetically fit the area and theme.

I cannot believe the hat is still there all these years later. I mean, I CAN believe it, given some of the other crap they've left up, but good grief.
I don't get too bent out of shape about most WDW stuff, but I really, really hate that thing.

Couldn't they move the hat to just outside the entrance? Like where they put the Christmas tree in December? With a nice film reel wrapped round the front with 'Disney's Hollywood Studios' in the film reel and make it a brilliant photo op? Would still remain, still be iconic, have the lovely lighting at night and actually form a kinda good focal point for entry ? Just a thought!
