ORWEN: But the same thing can be said about Cinderella's Castle, since it's always been visible from Frontierland, too. I suppose they could always plant more trees to block the tower's view from the Frontierland side. In the meantime, I really like what I'm seeing. ORGOCH: Got climbin' skills?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I agree that they could use some more trees to block the view, but I also don't think it's the end of the world. It looks like if they added 2-3 more trees, extending the row that is already there, it would just about cover it. I'm a little more concerened about the vines growing up the tower. They're clearly artificial (since they've already grown up the entire tower), and will likely fade in the sun. Hopefully they'll look more realistic in coming years than the leaves on the Tree of Life at DAK, which has neon green leaves. Speaking of which, I also hope that the fake grass covering the Mermaid ride ages well, or that they're prepared to replace it on a somewhat regular basis. I wonder if the Mine Train will have real grass, or more of the fake stuff; the way they're shaping the rockwork already, it definitely looks like they could be using the artificial grass there too.
