Here's a look from the Expedition Everest lift hill the other day

I'm confused by this picture. What are all those buildings, hills, water tanks in the background? Why would someone photoshop the background?

ETA - just a funny angle that through me off. The hills in the background look much larger than I expected.

I think this comment is photoshopped.

NM, you are right. just must be the angle.

What?

It is the angle. Remember, this is from the Expedition Everest lift hill. You can see quite a bit of the surrounding area from there, which is what you're seeing.

That's a high-zoom pic, which makes the "hills" look higher. I believe I've found the 2 tanks on the left hand side of pic.
They're way back, close to US27 and Sand Mine Road:

must be one of these new ultrazoom bridge cameras.
I remember a nikon and a fuji.. which have upto x83 optical zoom or 2000mm equivalent.
They distort the view considerably.

Two more permits were filed for Flight of Passage. The contractor, Lexington Design and Fabrication, is not one I have seen Disney use before. Their portfolio list one theme park project at Universal Hollywood, but a lot of restaurant and museum projects.

This is correct... but the reason the "hills" look higher is because 27 runs along a ridge (actually a prehistoric island chain). The ridge runs from Clermont to near Lake Wales. It actually is higher than the surrounding areas. But if you think the hills there are high... you should go check out the "mountainous" regions in Clermont.... heh heh heh.

For the record those tanks are fairly new (built in the last few years) and only about 3 or 4 miles from Animal Kingdom. And if anyone knows what they're building behind the CVS there.... I'm dying to know.

Nahh, article says on 192 east of 429, so if that's right, it's much closer to WDW.
Maybe this area?:

Nice high-end project, thou (if You've got the money ), but stuck in a very busy area, traffic wise!

Nah, this would be a few miles west of that.

That circled area though is where Jimmy Buffett is building his Margaritavillage. Where Splendid China once was.

Ok, then I'm at a loss as to where that Magic Village is going. Anyways, that's a bit off topic.

Get your facts straight, it's a ride with only screens and benches hidden behind a bunch of pretty rock work.
