    I asked this question the other day and was told that it was already lit up at night. But I went by there tonight (Friday night, Jan 13) at 9pm, and it wasn't lit up.

    I figure such lightings are usually done in conjunction with a grand opening. But won't it be lit up for the previews?

    Does anyone know more about this? I'm looking forward to seeing Everest from over the tops of the trees, all lit up at night.

    The mountain is visible from the parking lot. You don't have to be in the park.

    Cute. And you know something, I believe it too. I'd be doing the same thing.
