Yes, its now 32 x 64 and would probably be best if the long edge faced the outside of the table. It is landscaped with white plates at the edge of the baseplates.
When Tim and I were figuring out the North Pole I did not have the warehouse OR the ball machine. So I think it would be awesome on top of the mountain and would be a win-win if it saves you a lot of effort finishing the mountain.
