Great news even though EC got the shaft what I'd like to see!

1. GMR get a refurb
2. MI coaster
3. PS expanded with something replacing BLT
4. A actual Fireworks show

Interesting, but why does everyone hate the hat, and want it removed? I must be missing something.

to sum it up, it comes down to it ruins the theming, blocks the GMR, and serves as a pin trading station, and is therefore utterly useless.

(Not my opinion, as I enjoy the hat, but kind of hate how it totally boxes out the GMR for the view down Hollywood Boulevard.)

You haven't missed anything. The only people who complain about the hat are the nostalgic twelve or thirteen who remember DHS before it was erected. Anyone who fusses over looking down Hollywood Blvd and seeing a big blue hat and claiming it's out of place has to re-evaluate looking down a 1905 Main Street and finding a 16th century German castle at the end.

I'll admit it's a crappy hat in general, but the fact remains it has become the weenie, the icon, the focal point of the park, not only in physical form but in all literature. So even if it gets removed from its current spot, there's a possibility of them reinstalling it elsewhere, maybe outside the gates. Either way, it will remain the icon of DHS.

As for the other items, they've been rumored for years. I see neither announcement nor construction on anything before the FLE completion in 2013. There's no way WDW could finish a Monster's Inc coaster between now and 2013-2014 for the release of a Monster's prequel when they are purposely staving off the Seven Dwarfs coaster to be opened in 2013.

Still, I'd like to hear WDI announce something new at D23 this year, though I'm thinking any news will lean more towards SDL, DLP or a new DVC somewhere.

Really good example of a condescending post.

Yup and to describe the people who don't like the hat like that is nonsense!

it ruins the views AND the big hidden mickey

I hope there is something in the works. As for the hat, I do not mind it as an icon, i just wish it didn't completely block the GMR. Put it somewhere else and i'm fine, but i wish i could see the great Replica of the Chinese theater that is the front of the GMR. (I hope that made sense)

There is a HUGE difference between seeing a castle "at the end" of a turn of the century street and seeing that ugly out of place hat at the end of Hollywood Blvd. The former was DESIGNED to be there, so things like scale, detail, and placement were all taken into account. The distance between the end of Main Street and the castle, separated by the hub and landscaping, help make the transition. The latter was shoehorned into a crowded area and is much too close to the surrounding buildings and is clearly out of place. The lack of detail and cartoonish imagery also is out of place with the realistic facades nearby. It's a mess.

3. PS expanded with something replacing BLT

I can't for the life of me figure out what PS and BLT are. Can you shed some light?

lol sorry.

PS= Pixar Studios
BLT=Back Lot Tour.

 

[ASteelersMidget]

lol sorry.

Wait, i thought you meant you wanted Pixar Studios and something replacing a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwhich! I was really confused. Thanks for the Clarification!




















Sorry, I couldn't resist!

 

[Horace Horsecollar]

lol sorry.

PS= Pixar Studios

And I thought you wanted to Priority Seating to replace Bay Lake Tower (based on the normal acronym definitions used on DISboards for PS and BLT).

Currently a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato is more exciting than the Back Lot Tour

unfortunately it's so true, and the sandwich is cheaper to experience!

PIXS

The Hyperion Wharf Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich? Will this be served in the amphitheater?

Personally, I would love to introduce a bulldozer to the Architectural Abomination Villas, aka Bay Lake Tower. In some ways even more so than the hat.

. . . weenie . . .

That's ONE of the words we use for it.

PP for Pixar Place would work better -- I don't think that acronym is commonly used for anything else at WDW. (At least, nothing comes to mind.)

No suggestions on the backlot tour, though. With any luck it won't be around much longer so it's a kind of moot point.
