Indeed, it is nice to see that the trees have taken to their new spots. I loved the maze of green that seemed to go on forever and it really sold the wilderness. However, while I'm looking forward to fuller foliage, I love the mountains peeking overhead. It's a different depiction of the American frontier, but equally striking and on point. I'm reminded of a hike I took to Sawtooth Gap, on the edge of the Sierra Nevada. I was overwhelmed, as I stared beyond the gap into truly wild, untamed land farther than the eye could see.
There are shades of this in the new Frontierland backdrop, more and more apparent as they finish up the rock work. The previous forest was always spoiled as soon as the sun went down thanks to the lights of the parking garage. I applaud the fact that correcting this was made a part of this project and am pleased with how everything seems to be fitting together.

Because we never have found a college kid willing to fly his drone over Star Wars Land for beer money... ... here on the West Coast we are still at the mercy of the aerial photos from Florida. Here are the latest taken last week, from the fabulous Bioreconstruct on Twitter. https://twitter.com/bioreconstruct
The yellow arrow points to the tunnel entrance into the land from MuppetVision Avenue or whatever they're calling that street now.
The other side of that berm.
Looking the same direction, from further out over the whole land.
The Millenium Falcon ride and marketplace area.
A busy Toy Story Land that leads to Star Wars Land.

I know that aerial view photos make everything look smaller but that whole land looks really small and compact!

They just look smaller in comparison because SWL is so much bigger at Disneyland.

I looked back at the last two years of GE permits. If you group them together by building number, you get a pretty decent idea of what is going where.
Bldg 10040 is Attraction #1. The huge size (165,565 sq.ft two story Amusement Building with (4) pits) and "Escape Pod" prop suggests this is Battle Escape:
