Grizzly Peak (Disney)
Grizzly Peak is the centerpiece of Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Grizzly Peak is a man-made, 110-foot (34 m) mountain in the shape of a grizzly bear, which represents California's state animal. It was created with large steel cages, which were soon lathed and carved as rock.
The "Grizzly Peak Recreation Area" is where you can watch people get drenched on Grizzly River Run. Also you can spot old gold pans in the dry creek bed at the start of it. Grizzly Peak also houses Grizzly River Run, a large rapids ride through a mining camp at the mountain. Originally, the mountain was to have the face of the bear face south, with a waterfall from his mouth.
It was recently considered to use the mountain as a possible location for a new Country Bear Jamboree theatre and a gold rush themed mining train adventure, although the mountain's infastructure did not allow for this to be feasible.
The centerpiece structure will also be featured in Hong Kong Disneyland's new themed land "Grizzly Gulch", scheduled to open in 2012.
