Now Extinct: The Sorcerer's Hat
The Sorcerer's Hat was removed completely in Februrary 2015. It stood at
the end of Hollywood Boulevard for over a decade, and stood as the park's
icon for many years.
Head Measurements: The hat size is 606 7/8.
On Top of the Mouse: Mickey would have to be 350 feet tall if he were to
wear this giant hat.
The Hat: The hat itself is 100 feet tall. The interior space equals nearly
60,000 cubic feet. It can hold 444,744 gallons of water. Six stars and two
moons adorn the hat.
Paint Job: The hat is painted with a custom technique called "chameleon
paint" which shifts color as guests move around it. Painting the hat
required enough paint to cover 500 Cadillacs.
Mickey Ears: The Mickey ears feature a new special effect called "Light
Ribbons," which change color and sparkle with internal pixie dust lighting.
Holding it All Together: There are 13,493 bolts that hold the hat together,
26,986 washers and 17,000 feet (or 57 football fields) of underground
utility piping.
