[3] Adorned with a set of Mickey Mouse ears, it is inspired by the real water tower located at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.

It was the park's original icon, with The Great Movie Ride—a life-size replica of Grauman's Chinese Theatre—serving as the visual centerpiece.

Both were displaced from icon status by the Sorcerer's Hat, which stood in the park's central hub from 2001 until its removal in 2015.

[5] The Earffel Tower was removed itself on April 29, 2016, to facilitate the construction of Toy Story Land.

[6] Since then, the Hollywood Tower Hotel has been the representative icon in marketing, with the Chinese Theatre (which now houses Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway) restored as the centerpiece.
