Upcoming DHS closings ...

Isn't black mold a health hazard?

Wait... What has black mold on it? I missed that.

The BAH is a wonderful lighting arrestor. For safety reasons, the BAH will stay.

BS... the lighting would just pick the next closest tall metal object.

Why would they WANT lightning to strike an object directly in the path of the guests?

Oh..I get it ...this is just another Hip Hop music taking over at the CBJ post.

Out of interest, how many guests were struck by lightning at DHS before the Hat was installed?

Don't you know ...nobody gets struck by lightning while in the park...they are just pronounced dead when they get to the hospital.

Ah yes, how could I forget that.

I don't know if there is any stock in it - but one would imagine that Operations would especially as they will be removing attractions - they need better visibility of GMR.

I'm not following. What does better visibility of GMR have to do with removing other attractions?

I sometimes fear the stage is part of what keeps the hat. WDW feels it needs a stage there.

In a twist of great irony, the view of the big ugly hat is often obstructed by the even bigger and uglier rent-a-stage.

As much as I hate the BAH, I hate the stage even more.

Maybe I'm not following you, but the BAH is NOT an attraction.

Read the post I was quoting

 

[WildcatDen]

The unit that paid for its erection is gone, . . . with a general re-allocation of the hub.

There is a joke in there somewhere. If only I was one of the Insiders, maybe I could figure it out. . .

Hey there is only one B.S. on here. *

Not really. Lightning favors tall pointy metal objects...such as the BAH!

Why would they WANT lightning to strike an object directly in the path of the guests?

It's part of the value engineering initiative. A study was conducted when Eisner was still there and they determined that it was better to have the BAH absorb the afternoon lightning bolts than to kill off paying guests.

Oh..I get it ...this is just another Hip Hop music taking over at the CBJ post.

I don't know if that rumor is true, but I too heard that a Hip-Hop show is going to be a regular feature at the BAH stage at DHS.

I will believe that the BAH was installed to deflect lightning as soon as I believe that the wand was designed to keep maintenance workers from falling off the top of Spaceship Earth.

With Disney closing AIE, BATB show, potentially Muppets, LMA and Backlot - the other attractions will be working overtime to accommodate guests. I firmly believe from anecdotal evidence from when I went prior to BAH being erected the same volume of guests are simply not going into GMR, because they don't know the Chinese Theater exists thanks to the BAH.

I see what your saying but even without the BAH I don't think it's all that clear that the Chinese Mann Theater houses an attraction it just looks like another Hollywood facade. I think guide maps and cast members directing people + advertising the ride is sufficient. I want the hat to be removed too but i'm not hearing anything about that.

Unfortunately Micechat did something to their forums otherwise I would dig up @WDW1974 thread where he said the wand was being removed and that was a good 6 months before the walls went up. He was the first to report.

But like you said Siemens didn't like the wand but at DMGM who from the outside is going to tell Disney to get rid of it?

He did. Spirit said it was coming down. I was told the walls would be physically up a week next monday.

You mean that they may start removing it starting the next few weeks?
