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

[The Rocketeer]

Is this the map that will allegedly show the new stage where the hat was?

looks like it.
It still could be the big temporary canopy stage. All that map say is "center stage" or looks like it says that anyway. I'm still in the camp of "nose planter" supporters. Honestly as long we can see the theater I'm fine with a potential stage.

It is the map to be distributed 3/15 I was told. So if Disney IT is prompt you should be able to find it on Disneyparks.com on the 15th.

The large stone structures between the turnstiles and Spaceship Earth, with all the engraved photos on them. It's just called Leave a Legacy. The "tombstone" part was added by anti-fans, because they resemble tombstones.

Anti-fans, I like that, much more positive. I always just considered myself a "hater", especially when it comes to the LAL tombstones!

My sources told me it will look something like this:

I'm kidding of course; I have no sources.

I would like to apologize to my laptop, and anyone within earshot who just now witnessed my tirade of vulgarities before I realized this was only a joke.

I've been out of the loop for awhile, but's what this new stage show I'm hearing about? I knew about the Hat being demolished and agreeing it was for the better, but is there something else replacing it?

I would just like to have a nice view of the good ol' chinese theater without something blocking it.

wow, just wow, re-painting the track SIDES on Main Street? they gonna get ground down during the day...

The tracts on Main Street are greased each morning in the curves with vegetable oil to keep the horse drawn trolley cars from climbing the track in the curves. It's a safety requirement. The trolley wheel can climb the track in the curves and derail on an ungreased track. The lubricant also quiets the noise made by the wheels on the rails and makes it easier for the horse to pull the trolley. In short, it reduces friction.

Just the usual metal temporary stage they put up for Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun. After that, who knows? Rumours are they will build a permanent stage of some sort but nothing confirmed yet.

Hope the stage includes a new trading pin store to replace the one that Disney ripped to shreds while taking out the BAH.

Yeah and they maybe some type of awning / large roofing structure to keep it in dry of course.... I think Blue would really look nice against the colors of the theater.

I like that idea! What if they shaped the roof like the Sorcerer's Hat from Fantasia?

meanwhile back in hollywood,

They removed the excavator last night.

 

[cspencer96]

Any news to report on the dress selection? Oh, wait...

That's odd for it to just say Center Stage with no changes to the map graphics. To me it just looks like that's what they've titled that hub area of the park now, and if that's the case, I love it.

Back! Back! Over the Walls....oh wait. Wrong park. Wrong attraction.

I hate to bring up old posts but I just wanted to say this post made me laugh out loud. A lot.

 

[SRQtech]

Get to a Starbucks pronto!!!!!

PS: This is the best thing to happen to this thread in about 5 pages!!!!

An under the wall was posted on twitter (@JakeORL) from a few days ago. Looks like they used the excavator to remove the flower bed and stuff, and maybe it will just be flat concrete?

This is the photo.

It looks like they added those Palm trees on the left. Palm trees were an original feature of the planter and the fence-esque railing is there. It could have been removed by now, but I don't know.

 

[BrerJon]

Disney *adding* trees????? Surely not. Disney hub placemakers abhor nature!

I suspect they've been there all along but I really hope not, as if they have added trees that's the most encouraging thing they've done in WDW in months as far as I'm concerned!
