I hope that in the future (hopefully not too distant) they do something completely original with that building...something that blends in with the hat...
The wand on the other hand should be bulldozed.:lookaroun
Of course, that's just my opinion. :lol:
Have you seen the original? At least there aren't any bums sleeping around this one!

I don't know...I guess it goes with my dislike (when compared to the others) for the park. :dazzle:
:lookaroun
(EDIT: And further evidence of my weirdness...would be my opinion of MK...You should've seen the reaction I got from people in line for EE when I told them I hated [though that would be too strong a word] MK)
Yes, you are weird, but then you fit in here with the rest of us weirdos, very well. :lol:

It looks rather permanent to me. I think it would take some doing

Using the aerial photopgrahy provided by Windows Live Local, I went ahead and moved it to the entrance plaza. Personally, I feel that this is actually a rather nice location for it:
Long-time lurker and I just thought I would share it with all of you. Please note it was a 2 minute photoshop job. If anyone cares about how I feel about the hat, I posted my issues with it on my blog (Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Fantasy). I will spare you having to actually read my rant unless you want to. The Re-Imagineering blog has a good write-up as well.
You dont like the hat so you move it to the entrance to the park.....makes no sense.

I like the hat...I never viewed the theater as very "Disney" anyway. It's not like that theater is owned or operated by Disney. It simply shows movies....
The hat is something unique and can be immediately identified with Disney. I think that the same cannot be said for the Chinese Theater.

Nice photo shop! It really looks alot better there at the enterance.
While the hat its self is cool looking, it does indeed block the view of the GMR terribly. It looked really awesome before the hat, now it just peaks out around the corner with the hat in the way.
One thing that bothers me though, I'm not sure if I like the hat as an icon. It doesn't really symbolise the whole true theme of the park. Its based off of fantasia, but that's only ONE movie. A true Icon of MGM should symbolize all movies created by hollywood, but with a Disney twist. The Earful tower is a good example of that, because it parodies off of movie studios water towers, but it has a Disney twist. It just works better IMO.

THERE'S AN IMAGE! :lookarounctwhalerman said:
I personally like the hat and didn't really think about it affecting Hollywood Boulevard when I was there last, but it COULD be put somewhere else. Maybe at the entrance of Fantasmic.
BTW, One could say that Cinderella castle ruins the effect of a 1901 America. :animwink:

By George! I think you have a point with the Fantasmic! idea. The entrance to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater sounds like a terrific spot for the hat! I also liked the earlier stated idea of having it over the turnstyles.
It certainly can't be moved easily. It took a while to be built, so I would expect it would take about the same amount of time to (fully) break down.
Add me for to the list of people who approve of the hat AND like it's position.

The thing is that the theater was a big part of Hollywood Boulevard and it seems really tacky to slap the hat in, ruining the whole Hollywood that never was idea. I say either move it to Fantasmic or take it down but I'd take the wand down first.
