It would be pleasing if you could link to said visual image.
And yes, I would hope so and think so. They want the Hat gone by 2011, I think. It had a lifespan of 10 years, after all, much like the Wand.
Wandy got the boot early though, thanks to our friends at Seimens.

Pic?
I'm a fan of the hat.... and if they change the icon [AGAIN] change it to the theatre, the arch, or the Earful Tower-- NOT Tower of Terror... Or were you talking about The Earful Tower?

I'm guessing Earful Tower.

You'd be guessing right. I love that thing...I just wish it was easier to see!

:sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:
But one thing that worries me! Backlot Tour is the only way to get close to the tower and if it becomes the icon again I doubt the tour is going anywhere anytime soon.
I would but we have an adversarial relationship to this particular site.

Oh! You make a very valid point! Imagine it being fenced off with a plaque explaining the history of the tower and some of the park.. That would be nice without disturbing the Pixar theming.Maybe once we get the BLT out and expand back that way.

Thought I'd add that this belongs to nbodyhome. I just trimmed the edges to get rid of the "fluff."

Oh, not bad! :sohappy: Thanks!
Like it very much. I would have SSE and CC trade spots, though. SSE is a great backdrop for something shaped like the Castle.

Does look good.
But more importantly, the African Queen is on TV right now. It's the movie the JC was partially based on.

I was there when they were building the monstrosity in the Summer of '01, and I'd be more than pleased to see it being torn down in the Summer of '11.
I was there at that time too! I remember driving up to DHS on the bus and thinking "what the hell is that giant hat doing there!?" :lol:

Thanks. I'd love to be able to look down the Boulevard and see Grauman's again!

I actually saw them digging the hole!
I had no idea what was coming, or that the view when you walk into the park would be so tarnished.
A lot of things that Disney fans typically get worked up about don't really phase me, but I have to say that hat ruining the view to the Chinese theater is easily the single most annoying thing at WDW that isn't attributed to crowds.

I wouldn't look to much into it, at least as far as the artwork on the volunteer cans. Most, if not all, of the artwork on them was recycled from merchandise, both old and new. I'm 99% sure that 4 parks icon appeared on the WDW Coffee for a while before 100 Years of Magic came along. The Goofy artwork is lifted from the Goofy's Candy Co. logo, while the Mickey with a paintbrush is from the multi-colored cocoa.
