The Sorcerer's hat in DHS

[Texas84]

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that hat!

 

[Disneylover1302]

i guess that would be one way to put it!

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that hat!

Or just move it to a better location.

Thought this would help!

Bliss.

To my understanding, they just build the hat because they needed a "landmark/hub." All the other parks had one, expect for DHS. My DH hates the hat. I don't mind the hat so much.

-The people who like the hat but don't like it's location

Put me in this category.

Yes!

One look at that picture should be all it takes to explain why people hate the hat. And sooner or later sanity will return to the studios and someone will say, "you know it really was better without that hat!"

And then someone will call the company that tore down the wand and it will be GONE!:wave:

Yes that might be the reason for the hat!

That is the excuse. Wasn't the original theater facade a "landmark/hub"?

To answer my own question, yes it was.

The hat is a monument to Eisners "lost years" as CEO.

Man, that old picture sure brings back memories! It looks so clean, and classic Hollywood without the hat. I kind of miss it...well come to think of it I miss a lot of old Disney.

I love the hat and think it gives DHS that wow (in a good way) factor when you first walk in (much like the Castle in MK). The movie theatre is not as exciting and it is just a replica of the original (it's not Disney).

The hat, which is now the defacto park icon, should be located out front near the entrance to DH Studios. Maybe over to the right as you face the park.

It's a good hat and a good icon. Just not properly placed.
That space in front of the Great Movie Ride needs to be open, as it used to be. The Christmas tree used to go there during December and the space is needed for performances.

They can move it- there is no 'try', only do or do not.
Do.

It's like you read my mind!

Hey, I'm from the House on Haunted Hill, am I late?

Hey, I'm from the House on Haunted Hill, am I late?

Oh no, your not late. We're just having drinks now and will begin the tour of the house shortly. I thought it might be interesting to see the ghosts first.

 

[Disneylover1302]

Yes interesting it would be!

 

[Disneylover1302]

Appears things are quiet here!:lookaroun:lookaroun:lookaroun

Even the original theatre has a large obstruction built in front of it. Perhaps Disney was just adding some realism.

Just too bad we can't also have a Kodak Theatre next door to ours.

I remember when they would put big props from movies (i.e. the "armadillo" drill tank from Armageddon [only one I can remember at the moment]) and the Studios Christmas Tree where the hat is now. I miss those days!!!!
