I miss that sorcerer's hat, was the real icon of Hollywood studios for anyone who visited during the 2000s. 😢
MGM/Hollywood Studios is so different now 😭
i didnt even realize it was gone until this video😥
True
I have quite a bit of nostalgia for that hat but I feel like the Chinese Theater facade flows better as the main icon at the end of the street. Can go either way though
@@apollyon9946 once The Great Movie Ride was shut down, all the good rides of Disney were dead
There should be a theme park or at least a museum dedicated to past or lost attractions and events.
I agree
Great idea 👍
Yes! Maybe it can even preview upcoming attractions?
Old footage of the past attractions that were closed.
Yeah, it's called Defunctland.
The lottery joke has become the new Michael eisner and I’m not complaining.
Neither am I.
It’s the Lottery starring JEAN LAFITTE WAKE UP AMERICA
I was actually a little disappointed that they didn't sell the VHS there.
@@alextirrellRI Seriously, Disney needs to officially release this unseen gem.
Yesterworld Entertainment I actually contacted her on Twitter one time and said, “Weren’t you in the lottery?”....She never replied ☹️
Am I the only one who actually misses The Sorcerer’s Hat? I mean, admittedly it WAS a bit of a ridiculous choice that Micheal Eisner made, but it s also a big part of my childhood
Honestly I think the sorcerer's hat was more iconic than the Chinese Theater, then again I think the Chinese Theater was a bigger deal in the movie-making industry back when it was built than it is now.
You wouldn't be able to do projections on either (so it seems like the tower of terror is the new show icon?), but at least the hat had a stage you could have performances on naturally. Saw a few great new years shows by Mulch, Sweat and Shears there! RIP, you beloved Disney park band... (I think they're gone now)
I sincerely miss the hat, and to tell the truth have never even set foot in the Chinese theatre. of all the times I’ve been to MGM/Hollywood Studios, I can’t say I even remembered it. I went to the park this January and it was legitimately the only time I ever really noticed it.
@@baydiac If that's the case, you just missed The Great Movie Ride (I recommend looking it up on youtube, it was one of my favorites). Now it's a different ride with Mickey and Minnie (which I haven't ridden but I'd recommend looking up just for the effects they pull off).
Dedre Reads I actually really miss The Great Movie Ride too. However, even though Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is based off the subpar Mickey Mouse cartoons from 2013-2018, the ride itself is actually okay and very impressive.
@@Sorcerer-SMC Yeah if the ride wasn't done in that new, awful cartoon style, I'd be more excited for it (though still angry about the great movie ride). House of Mouse had a better style and, from what I've seen, was a better show.
The the backstage area behind World Showcase in EPCOT was always so mysterious. When I was working there I’d stumble across all sorts of things when I was taking my crying breaks
1. I feel you 2. Are you okay 😭
You okay my dude?
This is the biggest mood
@@alexnovelle6972 he doesn't seem to work there anymore so I'd say hes got a 50/50 of being alright now.
What kind of stuff?
The lottery starring Bette Midler is definitely my favorite running gag
Same, I don’t even know what the fuck the lottery or bette midler is but I love it
@@alexschneider1667Bette Midler is iconic!
Alex Tirrell cool, if yesterworld hadn’t mentioned her I never would’ve heard of her and I still don’t know who she is lol
Alaina Schneider I only saw her in Hocus Pocus
Alaina Schneider She’s Winnie from hocus pocus, the icon 😩
I'm still irritable that they didn't put that mickey hat thing up as the entrance to Fantasmic. Like c'mon.
OMG SUCH A MISSED OPPORTINITY
Shit, that would have been awesome.
Wow! You went hardcore with your “Abandoned and Destroyed” Disney Icons. I mean Lindsey Lohan being the first Abandoned and Destroyed thing on the list. Wow! That’s Epic dude. A+.
Wow shots fired lol
Ok...as harsh as this is, it made me laugh
Damn! That was a big WOAH and a big laugh at the same time!
God that’s terrible.
I laughed so hard at this comment,I farted and scared my dog who was lying next to me on the bed!😂She quickly moved to the end of bed,and is now giving me the side eye.
I remember seeing the Sorcerer’s Hat when I went to Disney World in 2013. I stared at it in awe and wonder. It truly was a fantastic thing. Shame they removed it.
I miss the old Disneyland sign, the DCA original entrance and the MGM Studios Hat
Thank you for the ❤️ and the great episode
I was so upset too about the DCA entrance but it isn't gone for good! - They are at the Sacramento California Exposition Center and the letters fit really well as the entrance to the California State Fair. There's even a bit of Disneyland history tied to the construction of the fairgrounds. I was able to dive into the research as I worked in the visual department of the fair.
A version of the MGM Studios Hat can be found at Disneyland Paris.
Are you talking about the hat on the water tower, or that eyesore wizard hat? (I'm only just starting the video. I miss the tower, but not that godawful wizard hat!)
veryberry39 I mean the tower with the mouse ears
The impossible happened, Jon Stamos actually became hotter now that I know he's one of us. Haha.
Too bad he's a predator, lol
His love of Disney has always been one of his best qualities! You should check out his Architectural Digest home tour where he shows off some of his Disney Collection.
Rob Zombie too, true story.
I actually didn’t really know anything about him, but now I like him. :)
Jon stamos is likr wine, the more he ages the better he gets
Always a good day when a new yesterworld comes out!
Yup!
Indeed!
except for the destruction of iconic landmarks..but yeah!
@@thegamer9302 well - I for one would not call the sorcerer hat a "classic landmark"... More an "oddity"
@@Spruill1 so was the effiel tower :p.
Can’t believe how uncaring they are about their replicas, they should be preserved, they’re really cool to see.
So it's come to my attention that I messed up the dates / timeline within the Rocket to the Moon segment in regards to TWA ending their sponsorship with Disney...still not sure how this happened on my part or how I didn't catch it during the countless re-writes and recordings. It's always incredibly embarrassing to admit when I get something so obviously wrong, but I believe in transparency, so please forgive the blunder. Thankfully it has no real impact on the overall story, just the reasoning behind why they pulled their sponsorship so abruptly.
No worries, my dude. The vid rocks.
It’s fine everyone makes mistakes
Glad you fixed this
Yesterworld Entertainment It’s OK, you make awesome content
Great Video Anyways! Don't Worry!
I remember the Mickey Mouse hat in the early 2008 when I was in elementary school .I had no idea it closed so thanks for the information Yesterworld
I went under it as a kid, and idk when I even realized it was gone after its removal
HERO_DREAMER interesting to know
I wasn’t aware that it was gone either
I went their and thought it was amazing
I haven’t gone since 2011 and I loved the hat
I’m so sad to see it’s gone
I didn’t realize John Stamos was such a big Disney fan! What a neat fact, thanks for sharing!
Imagine going to Disney world, and your dad takes you to Epcot you're so excited too see it but then you end up in some weird meadow with a ton of rotting metal and your dad starts kicking the metal screaming "LAUGH KIDS, LAUGH AT ITS DEATH! It made the giant golf ball look stupid!"
The joke here is a child being excited to go to Epcot. 😂
@@HunterSlayer2727 Epcot is awesome
I don’t get it..
@@HunterSlayer2727 I- but I liked that part of the park
I’m glad to know that others call it the golf ball
I'm SO glad you covered the moonliner in KC. As for the original Disneyland signage, there's just nothing today compared with the sense of anticipation that that sign offered, while viewing the Matterhorn and Space Mountain from afar. They lost a really important part of the story and experience.
the mickey hat was the one and only picture that my parents bought from the women who was taking pictures. it still is up in our living room.
My parents were actually the ones who bought one side of the castle on the sign. When they bought it, disney said it was one of a kind as the other side had been broken when the sign got taken down. Turns up a year later on another disney auction and my parents threatened to sue disney because they were lied to. Disney paid for their wedding at Grand Californian and honeymoon at disney world. Even better, the side my parents bought, broke in transit back to Disney.
Wow, crazy story! I'm honestly pretty surprised Disney paid for both their wedding AND Honeymoon, so they must have had a pretty strong case.
Like any 2000s socal kid, I lived the DCA California sign in front of the park and was upset when it was removed. Nothing was more exciting than visiting my best friend in Sacramento and walking by the state building and seeing the letters I loved climbing on as I waited for Disneyland to open!
I remember when theme parks started calling themselves resorts. It annoyed my dad who criticized it often. Everyone I knew was confused by it as well. We knew them as theme parks and never once called them resorts. I still don't.
People probably called theme parks resorts because there are hotels near the parks
No joke: I sent Disney Imagineering a letter as a kid asking for them to put a Pizza Planet in Tomorrowland. They had just done the Toy Story Funhouse summer event, so they had plenty of materials to recycle (especially the arcade cabinets). They gave me the standard "We don't accept outside ideas, but you should consider a career in imagineering" reply and a free copy of DIsney Adventures.
CUT TO 1998, AND WHAT DO I SEE?! They gave me my thing THAT SOMEHOW WASN'T MY THING! I wanted vomiting alien soda dispensers! Well, the final one isn't exactly that, but at least we finally got Pizza Planet theming. Too bad the Starcade couldn't stay open for it.
I've had the same idea for years. But I thought put it in the Tomorrowland Terrace, since it's not as well known as Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. But they did have one at MGM/Hollywood Studios, which I didn't know about until a few years ago, until it became PizzeRizzo. However, it didn't look anything like the movie at all.
That is an awesome idea
Yeah, i always wondered why they don't recreate movie restaurants inside the park. Especially in this case when they made something close but didnt even cash in and cal it pizza planet. I'm excited to see how the revamp turns out.
@@colemannelson5392 Well back then, Disney didn't own Pixar. They were merely in a limited partnership at the time, so Pizza Planet proper might've been too much of a legal hassle.
Same thing happened to me years ago. I tried to suggest a Walt biopic but they said the same thing to me “We don’t take outside ideas” blah blah blah.
I still don't understand why Pizza Port wasn't Pizza Planet from the outset, with the rocket actually painted to match the movie when it was finally repainted.
I’m pretty sure it was because at the time Disney didn’t own Pixar, so they couldn’t use the name that was most likely trademarked, only when they owned them could they use the actual term “pizza planet.” Don’t know the whole story but maybe that was the reason?
Why do people spend $20 or more on cheaply made Mickey Ears? Same reason.
@@BungieStudios The same how?.
You didn't get to go did you?..
@@ontherims3284 Of course I went. I'm the one that paid. Damn money sink.
1:02 the most iconic Disney landmark that has been abandoned.
I haven’t seen the video yet but I know it’s going to be as great as always
Shows a ad with a monirail on a highway:
Moves on:
Me go back! Go back!
I require more information.
Thank you, i need one now
I think that's a modified bus...
BadWebDiver, probably
But the really question is when John Samos won the bid did they tell him you got it dude? Lol 😂
No, no they did not.
Doug Champion booo missed opportunity lol 😂
Literally makes my whole day when Mark post a new Disney Yesterworld video
You made my day with such a humbling comment :)
@@bridgetmistryable fun fact: spamming it actually makes it LESS likely to happen
I just wanna say before watching: the best park icon we ever lost was the pepto bismol castle
On an unrelated note Would anyone else pretend to hold space ship earth in their hand when taking photos?
I wish I did.
@Help Me: Wish I did too
I did one time
Omg my grandma wanted me to take pictures with my face so I made my friend take a bad picture of me holding up my arm like I’m doing that but totally missing it, it’s a great picture
@@alexschneider1667 XD
Please do an episode on “Club Disney”. It was like a Disney version of Chuck E Cheese and it was only around for like a year or two.
Awwww! That's so sad! Absolutely loved the giant fantasia hat...and I liked the location of it. Entering the park and seeing it filled me with even more Disney spirit than I already had running through my body. Yes...Even as an adult. 😔😪
14:54 I immediatly want so much more fan art of this secret vault/warehouse full of disneyland relics, this is a really cool idea ^^
@EDS Gaming found it czcams.com/video/hSA6dBX_AU4/video.html . A pity it's not a real place 😜
@@o1phoenix79 omg good work, i was going thru the comments trying to find out if anyone knew what it was from! thanks c:
@@o1phoenix79 thanks for the video
The comment regarding what this part is from is gone and I’m sad :(
@@JHammieHamlin definitely not sure of the answer, I don't remember this tread. But my guess would be that it is inspired by the warehouse at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull
I live in Kansas City and have always wondered what the deal was with that rocket on the building. I had no idea it was tied to Disney history. Thank you Yesterworld!
Disney's MGM Studios should have just cut out the middleman and put a giant VHS of The Lottery starring Bette Midler instead of the sorcerer's hat.
Honestly I think if they had gone with that timeless idea it would be still standing today.
Hey yesterworld I managed to watch that weird Al film UHF from 1989 and I do agree that it’s underrated from Twitter
Awwwwwwwwwwww, I wanted the two Ferris wheels for the ears for the 100 Years of Magic Sorcerer’s Hat, but a Sorcerer’s Hat with the two Ferris wheels would fit well in a different part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios adjacent to the animation building!
I really really really really really miss some those old things of disney. I felt so so so bad for it!😖
The Mickey hand on spaceship earth is incredibly nostalgic but the original is so pristine and perfect architectural genius
In terms of the Hollywood Studios entry facades, I've always liked the Chinese Theater and the Sorcerer Mickey hat equally, it's a shame that the Chinese Theater lost its time in the spotlight a year after its return due to the Star Wars show having it's stage right in front of it.
good thing that stage is gone now!
@@Candy26262 I assume it was moved due to Galaxies Edge allowing the show to reside there.
And now it’s not even movie related ride inside, there’s a Mickey ride in it 😭
I've always liked the Sorcerer Hat... Although I like the double ferris-wheel edition, I wonder how they'd be able to fit it in the park! It looks quite big!
3:30 you don’t know, Mickey could be 100 stories tall and that hat is actual size
And the dismantle hand
My first time going to Disney World was during the 100 years of magic celebration. I remember thinking the sorcerer's hat was really cool. It's weird to think of it now as just a small piece of the park's history. I learned about it the same time I learned about all of the other iconic landmarks at Disney World, so it feels as much a mainstay as any of them.
Same!! I didn’t even know it was during that until those pins showed up and I remembered having one of them!
I’m from KC and I’m familiar with that building since it’s a very unique looking and of course has that rocket on the roof but I had no idea the history behind it. Very cool story, thank you for taking the time to share the whole thing.
Please do Lights Motors Action! It was an awesome show, and in my opinion an equivalant of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show.
WOW! I thought I’ve watched all your videos, but this one slipped thru my grasp! I have been searching for some time for a video to clear up and explain the refurbishment of the original Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland entrance water fountains! It was awesome to watch your historical account of what happened to them! Thank you so much for presenting this info! I really enjoyed it and appreciate your hard work! Yesterworld has definitely jumped to the head of my trusted Disney Park history sites. Again thank you and great job. I’m sorry it took me so long to find this!!!
If I’m being honest I didn’t want them to remove the monoliths at first because I honestly like the way everything looked and how it sort of directed your attention toward space ship earth but I gotta say it looks a lot better without them.
The original Tomorrowland entrance at WDW was so beautiful and inspirational to me as a kid that I feel a literal pain in my chest seeing pictures of it the way it used to be.
Yes!! So exciting ! Thank you very very much for this! I missed you so so much! I’ve been watching your videos all over again lately!
Yesterworld entertainment: *uploads*
Me: wait, yesterworld isn’t dead?
Two of maybe 5 memories from when I went to Disney as a kid includes the hat. I remember getting my first pin in that gift shop and playing with a Mickey Mouse plush there while waiting for the rest of my family to meet my mom and I.
Me at the beginning of the vid: Oh boy what Eisner comments are we getting today?
Me after: Mmm, very good!
They really should've kept the Mickey Hat, as well as the Earful Tower
I HAVE AN OLD MAGICAL MOMENTS PIN AND IT WOULD RANDOMLY LIGHT UP but it wasn't prefect but it worked some lol
The waterfalls looked gorgeous!
I love how you didn't even bother mentioning all of DCA's original park icons 😂 (The California letters, the postcard entrance, Golden Gate Bridge, the Sun Hubcap).
So does Stamos own the whole sign but only displays the "D"? and did you find any info on what became of the original?
He probably didn’t have room and it makes more sense then an i or a y
He has the whole sign, just displays the D. Watch the John Stamos "Open Door" video and he shows some of the rest of his Disney collection.
In a Disney photo album somewhere in my mom's basement is a page from an old Disney magazine about the construction of that hat. Now 20 some years later, a video about its deconstruction. How time flies.
Excellent research as always! I love the fact that John Stamos won the auction for the original sign, that just strikes me as very cool for some reason. I love this channel and am proud to have been a subscriber from the first video. Each installment is documentary quality. Thank you for all of your efforts my friend!
Where’s that Disney ride vault scene that was shown during the Rocketship to the Moon segment from? It looked amazing.
I'd like to know too
Same
It’s from the Main Street Electrical Parade commercial in 2017 :)
Coleman Nelson Found it! m.czcams.com/video/hSA6dBX_AU4/video.html
Nick Becerra Found it! m.czcams.com/video/hSA6dBX_AU4/video.html
1:25 I wonder what happened in late 2001 to make Disney consider delaying the 100 years of magic event...
I feel really lucky to have seen the big mickey hat on my first visit to disney as a kid.
7:07 PRIME in 1990 wtf?💀
It's the exact same logo 👀 Time Traveller or what
Wow I see Jojo’s circus near Mickey’s mouse hat and it’s sad the series from Playhouse Disney isn’t on Disney plus
Was that a clip of what looked like a monorail car driving down the highway at around 7:15? Or have I lost my mind?
I think it's a modified bus...
The ultimate irony, throwing something away but then not expecting it to come back and haunt you forever
Such a good video! The Sorcerer Mickey hat was such a big part of my childhood that HS still feels weird without it to me.
I had an aunt that lived around the same area as John Stamos and you could see the Disneyland "D" coming up the hill!
If that's where the distracting "Epcot" letters went, did the number "2000" on both sides also go to the same place?
There should be a Disney history museum about the history of Disney with all those rides and attractions that were abandoned and of the new rides at Disney
The Mary Blair Small World mural destroyed by the new DL Tomorrowland mall overlay for Star Tours.
I remember the 1967 Tomorrowland fountains and colored lights. They were turned off sometime in the late 70s.
Great video :) Was kinda weird jumping to 1969 to say the sponsorship was dropped and rocket redone in 1962 out of embarrassment from the moon landing 7 years in the future.
Yeah, the moon landing was in '69, not '59, and therefore had no bearing on TWA removing their sponsorship
I came down to the comments specifically to see if someone commented on this. The whole thread of that narrative had me questioning when Disneyland opened because I knew for a fact "we went to the moon in 1969" and couldn't figure out why I'd always thought Disneyland was opened in the mid-1950s when Yesterworld was telling me four years after Disneyland opened the moon landing happened. THE HISTORICAL WHIPLASH.
I'm not even going to try to deny this...because as embarrassed as I am to admit this, I think I seriously messed up in my timeline / narration for that section....
@@YesterworldEntertainment it's all good. Still enjoyed the video, and even gave it a thumbs up!
Yesterworld Entertainment to be completely fair to you, I trust your research and information so much that you seriously had me reconsidering information I thought I already knew - and I’m a history teacher! 😂 When I came down here to comment it wasn’t to gloat at you being wrong or anything, I really just wanted to see if anyone else was as confused as I was so I could confirm that I wasn’t going crazy. 😂 Anyway, as someone who struggles with numbers (dyscalculia) I understand the mix up and don’t blame you at all! It’s tough always keeping things straight in your head and you put out so much quality content that you’re allowed to have a mistake or two. ❤️
I always loved the sorcerer’s hat when I went back in 2019 I was sad because I hadn’t seen it in forever and then it suddenly wasn’t there
There should be a ride or attraction with characters from defunct rides, with queue having posters and props from those rides, and the ride itself goes through some of the more iconic parts of some defunct rides.
Aaaaa I remember micky hat!! I always enjoyed seeing it! I hope they do it again at some point in time!!
Epcot wand: Demolished
Fans: The evil is defeated
Lol
Isn't this your second time posting this exact comment
AAAVVVEEEERRRYYYYY WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
Me or the one who posted this comment? I’m confused 😐
@@tylertimko3352 I guess you're talking to me so I was talking about Avery
That's funny, I've always equated Stamos to a giant D
You have no idea how many jokes I could've made about that but chose not to
I know of John Stamos when Bojack Horseman alleged he met, celebrated, and saw John Stamos die in one drunken night...
LOL
Man I am so sad about that hat, it was like the definition of Disney back when I was a kid. I wanted to see it so bad :(
I didn’t think that I could dislike the Sorcerer Mickey Hat more, but knowing that it was originally supposed to be its own building with its own attraction & ride elements did it.
14:56, this commercial needs to be fleshed out into a Feature Film...
And I'm just the Director to do it.
Wait, that's a commercial? I thought it was already a movie.
The amount of hate for the hat at DHS, even after the addition of the state (ie for cover) was crazy. The old days of the GMR and the centerpiece was beautiful.
I think Disney missed out on another attraction: they could have put all these items from their past in a museum on one of their properties for people to visit. Possibly buy souvenirs and auction off select pieces of the less famous icons and maybe auction off select famous icons. Just a thought.
Cool history! Thanks for sharing :)
Wow, i remember half of these forgotten things, i remember when the tram from the parking to the park commentary would mention that the 1990 Disneyland Sign was getting removed in preparation for DCA construction
Also what movie/show is that from at 14:55?
indiana jones what one dont know
@@donkeykong6426 i dont remember that warehouse being in Raiders of The Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, or The Last Crusade 🤔
I know I've seen that scene before I just don't know from where
@@Spintechfilms the warehouse is from the commercial for the Mainstreet electrical parade returning to Disneyland in 2017
Edit: I should clarify that I meant the warehouse that is full of past Disneyland attractions just before the Indy clip if you look up Mainstreet electrical parade commerical you can find the full thing. It's really awesome
@@theoneandonlylordspud1273 yeah same here but I feel like I've seen it in one of the movies not in a commercial like Kevin Stephens said but I could be wrong
I remember that 100 year of magic I saw it all the time on TV man that looked the best 🤤😪
When I was little at Disneyland, I saw the small version of the Moonliner, and I think my parents were telling me about the history and how TWA wanted to be the first rocket to the moon. Apparently my either 5 or 7 year old mind though that that little replica itself was going to blast into space and I was so excited. I never felt let down because I eventually forgot about it.
Your story reminds me of when I was little (4 years old), and my dad took me to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. When we got to the U505, WWII, German submarine exhibit, my dad said, "we're going on a submarine!" I was scared of the thought of going underwater (guess I didn't want to get wet).
I loved the giant sorcerers hat as a child and I do miss it very much.
I never knew that the water tower was called The Earffel Tower! That's lovely. 😊
Tomorrowland in the 1950s-1970s): soo i think i have some neat ideas :)
The Test Of Time: mmhmmm haha that is NOT correct :)
Ever since I discovered your channel, iv been so informed about my favorite theme parks and I just grow to love them even more, keep up the awesome work
That Bette Midler gag was perfect!
I’m probably the only person who preferred the fantasia hat INSTEAD of the great movie ride show building! What’s your opinion on it!
So I actually remember the mgm ears. I went to the park when I was 6 and the only thing I remember is standing under the hat looking at all of the goodies while hiding from the sun for a bit
The AOL dialup sound IMMEDIATELY brought back cringe from youth and an uncontrollable eyeroll as I laughed thinking thank the Lord that we don't have that anymore!🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣
The magical moments pins still work in some places! I brought my set of 5 back to the parks on the last trip two years ago!
Why do so many people hate the Mickey hat, I always liked it
The Mickey hat is probably the worst eye sore ever made blocking the beautiful Chinese Theater.
fyrTV I loved it
fyrTV I don’t even know what a Mickey sorcerer hat means. Glad it’s gone.
There's nothing more spooky than abandoned theme parks! 👻👻👻
My first project working at Disney was removing the Hat Icon at Studios back in 2015. It was a blast. And my boss has one of the red stars from the Epcot all in his office lol
