I was just about to mention that. Has anyone else noticed the back of the mountain. You can only see it well from the parking lot. I noticed it coming in on a Disney bus but couldn't get a shot of it when leaving. The bus took a slightly different route when leaving and there were too many trees in the way, (and my old digital camera is way to sensitive to movement blur). It is a totally flat vertical wall of what appears to be wooden panels.
So I'm wondering, if they intended to finish it out like the front and side of the mountain why wouldn't they be doing that now? I know the policy is to put the money on stage and don't waste it backstage. So would the back of the mountain would be a backstage area? Will they cover this with trees and foliage, (what tree is that high)? Is it more likely it will get a similiar "blue whale" treatment as Soarin' got at EPCOT? Hopefully a certain show designer that is finishing up on the final version of San Franscio Street at Disney Studios will do the painted flats to at least give the illusion of the back side of the mountain. It shouldn't take that much detail as it is only viewable from quite a distance.
So many questions! I wonder what the ladder has to say about all this? (Sorry, couldn't resist - here we go on another ladder thread drift)!
