Unfortunately, I don't believe they do...![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Don't the Disney people know that changing things around like that causes diehard fans grief?

The hat fits right in for one simple reason: MGM is a very poorly designed park. Look at the hub in MK, and the design of Epcot. Those are masterpieces. MGM 's pathways are not based on any sort of logical design, the park's theme's don't flow. It is a mess.
On the other hand, the sign over Spaceship Earth is blasphemy. That's like making a sequel to Cinderella, and intentionally making it direct-to-video quality. Oh wait, they did that too.

As for the hat, I was there when they were building it and felt that it was an eye sore because it blocked the wonderful view of the Chinese Theature when you walked in.

I never really understood how MGM was designed. I always felt that it had flow problems. As for the hat, I was there when they were building it and felt that it was an eye sore because it blocked the wonderful view of the Chinese Theature when you walked in. I feel that it should be taken down.

Kinda looks silly the way that it blocks your view of the Chinese Theatre from down Hollywood Blvd.

I've always thought that too. They should move it outside of the gates before you come in. That would be a good place for it and it wouldn't block the view of the theatre.

Great comments JLW.
I would like to second the observation that throughout almost all of the park every thing you see is ment to be a set or production and not the actual place. (In RnRC the alley and garage you load in are lit from the ceiling with obvous theatrical lighting. Same at StarTours)
I would point out that the Hollywood Tower Hotel is the one attraction that is not a set. We all know the ride's story, but notice that once you step though the gates you are not on the "set" of a Twilight Zone episode, you are IN the TZ show's reality. This is one of the key drivers to the bellhops' behavior. They are NOT actors playing the part, they are the actual bellhops from 1939 who were zapped into today.
Just some food for thought on my favorite old hotel.![]()

I didn't say it didn't look good before the hat, I just think it looks a lot better with the hat, and adds some magic to Hollywood Blvd. The Chinese Theatre isn't Disney, it's just a copy of a real landmark. This debate will never end, I like it, you don't, oh well.:brick:

That's exactly where I would've put it...walking into the Studios under that beautiful hat would've been tantamount to walking thru the Castle at the Magic Kingdom...very impressive and meaningful!

But Spaceship Earth is right at the front of Epcot, and that's worked out ....
Oh yeah, and which Dallas suburb? I went to high school in those parts...I might have heard of it!![]()
