You're the second person to guess it, but the first person to guess it in this game thread. Len90 is completely unaware he stated the answer coincidentally in another thread:
Len90 wrote:...it seems like it is the back of the mountain ...
What a killjoy that he posted that right after I posted the photo in the game thread!

But since you've figured it out, yodiwan, and answered it correctly in the game (and not outside of it) - YOU'RE THE WINNER!!!

The photo is taken from Blizzard Beach. The person who sent it to me could not believe Disney would have it look like such an eyesore from that angle, but explained to him that is actually the hidden llamasary of the fabled Shangri-La and Disney did their best to be painstakingly accurate. I think I oversold it when I told him the llamas are the descendants of the lost Anisazi who built the cliff-dwellings in the first place. Sometimes too much misinformation can be a bad thing.

Share with us, yodiwan: how did you figure it out?

Thanks Mindflipper for sharing with us some of the backside of magic.

I had also told him it had not opened yet as Disney was experiencing some delays in establishing a foreign student exchange with Tibet in order to get some authentic Tibetan monks to staff it.
