I haven't paid that much attention to the hat. It's....OK....I guess. To me, the real icon is the Tower of Terror. THAT is an awesome building and queue!

I always thought so, and I'm pretty sure that is what they used for the first several years as MGM's icon!Jacca5660 wrote:The real ICON is the Earful Tower!!

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I have seen the earful tower but never knew it was such a big deal.

It seems like you used to be able to see it a lot better when the Backstage Tour was longer...rphillips14 wrote:I have seen the earful tower but never knew it was such a big deal.

Earful Tower is the real symbol! Move that hat so I can see the beautiful theatre again!!! And while you're at it, give the Great Movie Ride a facelift and expand the Muppet area. Move Pizza Planet to Pixar Lane where it belongs. Stepping off soap box now...
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.
Re: The Sorcerer's Hat - good, bad, or feh?
I wouldn't mind Pizza Planet taking over Studio Catering Company. Enclose it and make it have two entrances, one from Pixar Place one from Streets of America. Hate to say it but get rid of Backlot tour (Catastrophe Canyon included) and expand Pixar Place into the area that is right now backstage to guests. There's lots of area back there to add a few more attractions.Esmeralda wrote:Move Pizza Planet to Pixar Lane where it belongs. Stepping off soap box now...

I don't think Pixar has the history to warrant such an expansions. Give em another 25 or 30 years and you'll be able to fill a park. IMHO, they aren't ready yet. You do want to build attraction, that for the most part, will be popular for a long time! You don't want to go through the expense of all in takes to build a quality attraction just to have to build something else in 10 years.MadEye wrote:I wouldn't mind Pizza Planet taking over Studio Catering Company.

From the look of construction so far they have poured some $$$ millions into that ride!Amy wrote:We will know sooner rather than later when Carsland opens out in California Adventure!Jacca5660 wrote:I don't think Pixar has the history to warrant such an expansions.

The Studio Catering Company is the most anti-climatic eatery at any park. It should be re-themed. My hometown has more exciting places to eat.

They're not all that exciting in the real studios either....rphillips14 wrote:The Studio Catering Company is the most anti-climatic eatery at any park. It should be re-themed. My hometown has more exciting places to eat.

But at the real studios, don't you at least have a chance of spotting a celebrity?mindflipper wrote:They're not all that exciting in the real studios either....rphillips14 wrote:The Studio Catering Company is the most anti-climatic eatery at any park.
