Has anyone ever read an explanation of why Disney couldn't adjust the filming schedule for Soarin' in order to get good footage of Lake Tahoe? I'm so sad every time the helicopter crests the mountain past the skiers and reveals a stunning vista of....grey clouds.
I know that helicopters and IMAX cameras aren't cheap to rent, and with all the filming locations, the movie must have been a bear to schedule. I'm sure you can't just call up the USAF and ask them to reschedule the Thunderbirds. But when I think of what the Tahoe scene could have been, and how many people probably don't even realize it is Lake Tahoe, since they can't see it, I just wonder how that opportunity slipped by. Anyone here know?
