Where in the world of theme parks am I? (May 9, 2011 edition)

May 9, 2011, 10:58 AM · It's time to play again. You guys nailed it so quickly last week that I'm trying to make this a bit more difficult this time. Here's this week's clue. You tell me where in the theme park universe this sight can be found.

Visual clue

Submit your guess in the comments. Once someone gets the correct answer, I'll post the full photo and link to the location. If no one gets it right within 48 hours, I'll post the answer anyway.

Update: Solved! For the answer, read down in the comments.

It's inside the cave on Tom Sawyer's Island at Disneyland.

I cannot see Robert travelling to Netherlands or Germany just to take an obscure photograph, can you?
