Sorcerer's Hat Demolition Update (February 8, 2015)


The glorious view of the Chinese Theater is slowly coming back. Disney's Hollywood Studios will soon become a much more enjoyable theme park, and the removal of the Sorcerer's Hat icon is just the beginning of a rumored expansion project that might be similar in scale to the major overhaul that Disney California Adventure received a few years ago. While we are waiting for that project to start, let's see what is the status of the demolition of the hat:


Walking down Hollywood Blvd.:



As you can see, only the base of the hat remains (note the fact that the top of the hat has been moved):





What a sight!:





Plenty of parts still need to be removed:




The left ear:


The back of the hat:









The rear of the ear:







Bonus view of the hat-less hub, from the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show arena:



The only thing that can still be seen from the top of the amphitheater is the left ear:





Soon...



And that is all for now. Thank you for following us, and see you again real soon!

  3. You made a typo in the headline. It's 2015, not 3015! Lol but still, kudos to your pics!

  4. @Gabriel: What?! You don't know that we have a time machine? These are really photos from 3015, because the hat will be back in about a thousand years...

    In all seriousness, thanks for letting us know about the typo! ;-)
