Just wanted to point out that the majority of this view is only scene from tall summets. you usualy have to be backstage to see this view. Which is prety cool because just a few feet to the right of it is the burring trees from the rapids. and all the water pumps.

MUCH better. I'd still perfer a complete mountain, but this will do for now.

This will do forever. The mountain will never be completed...it isn't necessary. The painted wall proves it!imagineer boy said:

I completely disagree. There were some that were very vocal in making fun of people who thought Disney should do something to make that area look better. They said that there was no way Disney would spend money to try and fix something that didn't even matter. Well, evidently, it did matter to Disney.
The "complainers" win this one :wave:
BTW, I was indifferent on this issue. I didn't think Disney HAD to do anything to the building, but now that I have seen that picture, it makes a big difference.

No, there was no way they would spend the money to FINISH the MOUNTAIN. Painting it and letting the trees grow is what most felt they should do. Most of the "whiners" wanted it completely rocked and finished.dxwwf3 said:

What I seemed to read most of the time was some people saying that SOMETHING should be done to make it look a little better and there were some that thought that was crazy. Painting it and letting trees grow is what I felt most "complainers" wanted to begin with. There might have been one or two people that wanted the mountain completed, but that's not what the majority of "complainers" wanted.

Weird Because
It looks weird because the perspective is off in the rooflines. In the buildings that are shown in 3/4 with a receding wall the roofline remains horizontal to the horizon line instead of having some sort of angle downward except for the roofline just below the right side of the center peak at the lowest catwalk (?) under the line of prayer flags. Those two angled rooflines establish a vanishing point, (sort of), which is visually in tension with the lines that are not following the angles to the VP left or right.
It looks like the attempt was to just match the rooflines up with the edge of the top of the back wall. If they would have broken up the rooflines just enough to match up with the VP and filled in the breaks with mountainscape in the background I think the effect would have been more successful. Better than a plywood wall but more of a first pass I hope.

Actually I think it looks weird because that's not the perspective it's meant to be seen from. IF you look at Cindy's castle from up at the top level it'll look weird too. That's why I really want to see it from the angle it's meant to be seen at, from the DAK parking lot. This picture was taken from high atop blizzard beach and probably zoomed in a great deal. I assume it looks much better in person as it is meant to.
So, if anyone's going to DAK before long, can you get a picture of what it looks like from ground level? That's what's important. Remember the use of forced perspectives is quite normal in the parks, and if you see things from the wrong angle it just looks wrong.

When I saw the back of Everest from the same viewing point, I have to say I was dissapointed. It looked like every ride at our local park, Kings Island. Now, all I can say is WOW! I think they did a great job.
