The only person being "down" here is you, which you started in post 15. Up to that point everyone else weighed in with their opinions or observation until you basically stomped your foot and told us to stop complaining when there wasn't any in the first place.

So ... I would expect the peeks of Ornament Valley ( as seen here <a href="http://www.burbanked.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/pixar_cars.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.burbanked.com/wp-co...cars.jpg</a> ) to be visible from the outside AS WELL ... to give the same kind of ANTICIPATION to today's kids ... just as we got excited coming down the Santa Ana I-5 ... with views of the Matterhorn! Lassetter has shown a commitment to make Carsland the next "PotC" moment for the DLR ... so I would expect he would continue it for a "360" view.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt It won't be 360, that's already obvious. Besides, with the urban sprawl that now characterizes the area I can't imagine that the mountain range is tall enough to be seen from a distance. I'm not so interested in what they do on the side facing Katella, what I'm curious about is the unfinished side viewable inside the park from Pacific Wharf and Paradise Pier.
Originally Posted By avatarmickey115 wait, if the whole mountain range isnt 360, then why is the other side of it right behind the wharf just a normal wall? <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/carsland%20wharf/nonob88/carsland1-1.jpg" target="_blank">http://media.photobucket.com/i...d1-1.jpg</a> Do you see what I'm saying? The wharf part is just as visible as the Paradise Pier part! So why would they do that and not the entire thing? It would look weird if it was just part of the mountain done on the other side...
