They're sculpted from concrete, so it won't be real greenery, but the shapes just don't quite look right either. I'll wait to see how it turns out, but it does seem a little concerning at this point.

I am starting to wonder how well you really can translate rockwork from an animated picture into real life without it looking cartoonish. It appears like they did a great job at Carsland, but CGI may be different.
Originally Posted By frostysnowman I read somewhere that the dwarf mine train will replace the current Snow White ride. Snow White is supposed to be closing sometime soon, but I don't know when. I also thought the LM rock work looks too brown, more like southwestern rocks than any other type. But I'm giving Disney the benefit of the doubt that they will properly work into the LM theme when everything is complete.
