WDW - where my hats go on to bigger and better things....since I was a child - lost at LEAST 5 hats on WDW rides. Most recently on Splash Mountain in 2016. At least I got a ride photo of it...

I never learn.

Lost my favorite hat on Splash a couple years ago. This was AFTER losing the same hat on Everest earlier in the day but an awesome rider behind me snatched it out of the air. I felt like an idiot. I really thought it was tight enough for Splash.

well, guess a nice picture in front of the Theater is not something I will get this trip....

Would be nice if they do spruce up the outside portion of the queue, maybe add some misting fans or something as well as i am sure the line will be long when it opens and not a ton of inside queue space (unless they change that around)

Turn my hat around backwards on every ride. Never lost a hat. Have lost a couple pair of sunglasses since the croaks went out of style.....

Yeah, I really though it would hold on Splash. It didn't. That photo is about half a second before the hat was ground into the gears of Splash Mountain. It was my Disneyland 60th hat, which was over making the hat I thought irreplaceable. Fortunately I was able to replace the hat on E-bay as apparently Disneyland had a lot of surplus hats. I'd like to say I've learned my lesson, but I am sure I will lose another one soon.

I don't think they will, though. My guess is the "story" behind the ride is that you are going to the Chinese theater to see the premiere of a new Mickey Mouse short. They'll use to theater area where they used to show the trailers before the ride to be like the presentation of the short - and then Mickey and Minnie will "escape" the film or something, at which point you enter the ride itself.

I have high hopes that they are really doing something unique with this.

They already said that the would not be making drastic changes to the Theater as far as the outside look goes

Now, further down the road when the next phase of updates to DHS comes I suppose the could

I love the "Old Hollywood" aspect to DHS and the Theater adds to that so if they ever do something with it I hope it keeps that "feel" of fitting in with the Citizens of Hollywood and the like

I always take any hats or "ears" off and put them behind my back in the seat... it would take a really really BIG drop to have that come loose!
