Whats the point of MGM big HAT?

The hidden mickey looks forced. And, from an arial view, it would still be a Mickey head....right?


The tower still stands.


I am not a fan of the hat, but I do think it looks cool at night. I would not mind seeing something else in place of it or perhaps the hat can be relocated - maybe where Sounds Dangerous is.

I do not mind the wand on SE, but again, it is because I think it looks cool lit up at night.

I really like the 50th Anniv. decorations on the castle, but it will not upset me when it is time for them to go.
 

I like the hat, I just wish it didn't block the Chinese Theater. A different locaton would be better. I like the hand at EPCOT and the Leave a Legacy. But the hand needs to be "kept up" a little better, it tends to look "worn".

yes .. it was designed into the park. only viewable from the sky. it's one of the offical hidden mickies.
 
I thought the GRAVEYARD was built because of all the UMBELLAS" falling on the guest at bag check.
 
I like the hat but not where it is, it does ruin that Hollywood feeling, but I must say I always walked into MGM and felt it was kind of plain. I think most things are done as a marketing ploy and boy does it work! The leave a legacy thing is disgusting in my mind, thank goodness it isn't a centerpiece anywhere. I don't even like the way the pictures turn out. Love the bricks and reading them. The castle needs to go back to normal, okay for one look. Loved the birthday cake castle, but again, once is enough! Disneyland Castle looks pretty cool this year, never been in person but again, go back to the original.
 
I like the so called "tombstones"
doesn't bother me in the least.

I'm a little tired of the hat

and wand at SE....well I kinda like it!!
 
the hand and wand at spaceship earth doesn't fit the more streem line entrance way of epcot. it's to colorful and clashes with its surroundings.
 
The ugly forest of stone monoliths you have to walk through when you enter EPCOT look like a graveyard to some (me). Bricks with names are nice but those slabs are creepy.
 
I like the hat...and the wand on spaceship earth, and the leave a legacy tiles, and the decorations on the castle. Guess I am easy to please when it comes to WDW! :goodvibes

The big hat was put there because ever other park has a central icon.. ala cinderellas castle, tree of life, space ship earth.

and they took down the mickey water tower which wasn't really interesting.

on another note.. since the put that hat there... it has ruined the largest hidden mickey in WDW.

the hat sits on his nose. look at satelite photos and you'll see what i'm talking about.


Can you tell me how to look at satellite photos? Thanks!
 
The Hat is awesome and the chinese place is to small to see from the park entrance so they wanted something big so you can see everywhere.Of Course before the hat the only thing you could see from there was the Tower of Terror.It was a great idea and it worked.The graveyard is also a great idea.You get your picture in the park just like those brick stones they have outside main street with everyones name.You have to pay about $50 to get your picture on there and a lot of people get there pictures every day on those thing.It is just a little marketing i think.
 
i like the hat..i like the wand....i like the castle decorations...i dont like the leave a legacy stuff..
 
I like the hat, the graveyard, the hand and wand, and the castle decorations. I was charmed by it all. :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

The Earful Tower is in the back stage area parking lot.

Keep the hat, but move it to Fantasmic.

Get rid of the Big Wand, and the tombstones. :earboy2:

They can not get rid of Leave A Legacy til after the year 2020.
