I remember the park without the hat. It made the entrace feel more like walking into a theme park. You didn't have a hat at the end. The transition was much nicer.

It's not that people didn't notice it. I'm sure some did. It's just that back in 2001 there was no twitter, instagram, and so on, nor did everyone walk around with cameras in their pocket ready to take a picture and upload to the Internet within seconds.

Yes, I want to say the link was posted here at some point.

It probably did not show the intricacies of the cooling systems, etc.! I just thought it was plopped down there and while it is obviously made to withstand the elements, I had no idea of the intricacies!

Scroll down to mid 2001. I believe there are a few showing the fans / blowers / ductwork / etc.

I'm glad to see the BAH GO,
That being said I always liked the hat itself, I ABSOLUTELY HATED ITS LOCATION. If the BAH had been built over the entrance to Fantasmic or out front in the entrance plaza I think it would have been fantastic.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but does anyone know what the small area in front of the construction walls where they have setup some lighting scaffolds and planters is all about?

Perhaps it could take Iger, Staggs and Rasulo to the Pleiades where they would be more welcome.
