Hollywood Tower Hotel-New DHS Icon?

[WEDWDW]

Not that it really means anything definite,but I noticed on the Park Hours section on Disneyworld.com,they are using the Hollywood Tower Hotel and not the Earful Tower as DHS' icon.

In my opinion ToT is the best ride in all of WDW and the Hollywood Tower Hotel is as photogenic and eye catching as it gets,especially at night, so it sounds about right for them to use it.

DHS' photo is the only one that includes people - proof that guests do go there! The boy is probably too short to even ride ToT.

It also looks like it could be the Chinese Theatre to me?

I wish... but it says Hollywood Tower Hotel on it.

I'm torn about this, but leaning toward sad. I love the Earful Tower, and was so happy it was coming back.

Wow I totally can't see the writing, maybe cause I'm looking on my phone and not my computer...

I'm torn myself, I only know HS with the Hat... Oh well, as Walt Disney would say - Progress (I hope)

On the Calendar page, ToT is the focal point but at least all the major park icons, including the earful tower, are pictured:

Oh I see, When I go to the website on my phone this is all I see:



So I was just seeing the icon (which still looks a lil like the chinese theatre to me, but now seeing the top of the page on the computer version I understand it's the TOT)

If you choose Parks and Tickets > Hollywood studios, then you'll see the ToT photo with two kids.

On the mobile, and the website, it looks more like the Chinese theater to me. Which makes sense since that was the focal point of the entrance before the godawful sorcerer hat

 

[hiroMYhero]

Interesting, on my iPad and my iPhone, it's ToT and 2 kids.

 

[JacknSally]

That's weird! I checked the website last night from my computer and the header I saw showed Tree of Life, Spaceship Earth, Castle, Blizzard Beach, Tower, and Typhoon Lagoon all in a row.

Yes,that's what I saw when clicking "more hours" under "Parks & Tickets".

 

[Skywise]

I'm seeing the same on the website as well - ToT. Although I'm still seeing the sorcerer's hat on the MDE app on the iPhone.

ToT seems like an odd selection although you CAN see it from other areas in DW. All the other icons are at the center of the parks.

(Or maybe that's soon to be the "new" hub of the park?)

 

[wendyt_ca]

On the browser page on my computer it is showing te ToT in the centre too. I am fine with it being the parks icon. Cause I agree it is Disney's best ride and very photographic. And you can see it from outside the park. So it stands out.

 

[WEDWDW]

I did notice they are using the Earful Tower on the 2015 Merch,so maybe we have "Double Icons"!l

In my opinion ToT is the best ride in all of WDW and the Hollywood Tower Hotel is as photogenic and eye catching as it gets,especially at night, so it sounds about right for them to use it.

But TOT is not unique to HS since they also have that ride at DLR. Why would they have a icon/weenie to represent the park that isn't unique to it or represent the "theme" of the park? I know that HS has been going through an identity crisis - but that appears to be changing. I don't know that TOT would be a good representative of the park, whatever the new theme ends up being.
