Epcot Wand removal?

[Jonas Grumby]

So either they never considered taking the wand down in the first place or never planned HOW they were going to do it?

Give me a sledge hammer and a blowtorch and I'll give it a shot!!

Some C4 would be quicker!

 

[YoHo]

That would risk damage to the Sphere though.

could we set you loose on the tombstones with those as well?

could we set you loose on the tombstones with those as well?

And use the C4 on those as well!

What if I promised I'd be real careful and not do any damage to anything important?! Could I then please knock that eyesore down?

Only if you let me go after that stupid hat after I'm finished!!

 

[Jonas Grumby]

Some C4 would be quicker!

I think it would be more fun to take it out with my bare hands!

How about putting it on that island on Bay Lake!!!!!!

How about putting the hat in Bay Lake!


But that would be cruel to the fishes and turtles.

I'm not even sure that any sort of license was required from Grumman's/Mann's Chinese Theater, but certainly if Disney got such a license it would have been for a lengthy term, if not perpetual.

Not only that, but wouldn't if be a strange agreement if it said they could only continue to use the likeness if they put a BAH in front of it?


I can think of a few places to stick the hat.

Well, if it were to go UNDER the waters surface, only the fish would be adversely affected..........the turtles could climb on the rocks to escape the horror.

I was thinking about getting some use out of it. Put in a bed and portapotty and it can be used for executive bonuses for those who come up with those lame brain ideas like putting a hat in MGM.

Oh, and their stay has to be timed to when they shoot off fireworks from the island.

Not to mention the Brain eating aomeba. Single celled life forms of death shouldn't be tortured like that.

Am I the only one who likes the Epcot wand thing? Not so keen on the hat...liked the Theatre being in sight much, much better!!!

You're not the only one unfortunatly.

Epcot did just fine without that infernal wand for most of it's existence. Nobody needs to be reminded where they are and the "Disney" touch essentially ruins the entire theme of Epcot.

True! I never really looked at it that way. I guess it just doesn't really bother me.

I think it was an absolute desperate attempt to create an icon for the park. The water tower wasn't central, the theatre wasn't big enough... It's sad that while the other parks are able to put attractions in their centerpiece, MGM's is a shop.
