There is a subliminal reason for the layout.
Firstly, America is in the middle with Mexico and Canada on each periphery. This is to point out that the U.S.A. is the centre of North America with insignificant Mexico and Canada on the edges.
Secondly, America is in between Germany/Italy and Japan, indicating that only the U.S. stood between Axis world domination during World War II.
I'm kidding.
There are three members of the redwood family: coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) of the California coastal fog belt, giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) of the Sierra Nevada, and dawn redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) of central China. The names sequoia and redwood are often used interchangeably, leading to confusion between the two California members of this family, but they are very different trees.
Perfect. Thank you.Originally posted by exDS vet If you want to see Canada without the skyline obstructions then go to Canada.
Agreed, on all counts.I have seen Soarin' over California many times, and I am originally from California. The attraction fits well at DCA. I have said before that I feel this attraction is a Disney masterpiece, and it will also be a great fit at The Land, since a vast majority of the film focuses on nature.
The last country to be added to IllumiNations (that is, the last one to receive rim lighting) was UK. Neither Norway nor Morocco were lighted. Norway was originally supposed to get PANI projectors, like Germany (gingerbread house) and Canada (maple leaves) had, which is part of the reason that there is such a large flat, unadorned surface on the castle front. But then they changed IllumiNations, and the PANIs were dropped. Morocco was supposed to get rim lighting, but when they switched out IllumiNations (to Illum 2000), they didn't add them because the rim lighting wasn't supposed to have a large role in the new show. Plus, without rim lights in Morocco, it helped balance out the fact that there were no lights in Norway. So ... a case of aesthetics meeting cost.And why doesn't Morocco light up during Illuminations?

When there ends up being no facade I will be angry with you!
