near the sinbad show. Its very clever!!!
It is brilliant. We always call around and spend some time and have seen some hilarious situations!!!
It was being done up when we were there last December and we really missed it.

we saw it on our way out of the Posidons [Sp?] Fury show, it was "talking" to a baby, should of heard the baby giggling as it squirted water at it, close enough but without it actually touching the baby. Was Very Cute! and very Clever!
Here is a pic of the talking fountain. DD absolutely Loves it and, despite looking everywhere I have never seen how they do it. Must be cameras somewhere.

we love the mystic fountain, i hope its still there when we go in 2009 but is unlikely as theyre revamping the lost continent into harry potter land, but we could sit and watch the fountain all day its such good entertainment and kids seem to love it.

If you click on this link below (it goes to one of my Florida Videos on YouTube, from our last trip in November/December 2006)
Then you can see the Fountain in action, it squirts my Nephew pretty good :d:

It gets him about about 1 min 5 seconds into the vid (the voice at the end of the video is also the talking fountain)
This should go directly to the video.

the first time we ever saw it, it was letting out steam and humming the guitar rift from smoke on the water and i cannot hear that song now without thinking about the fountain

Here's a pic of DS (then 16) after the fountain "got him"!! It was such a good shot that the fountain was in hysterics and couldn't stop apologising!! Wet bits is not a good look when you're 16!

I never knew about this! :rolleyes:
Tracy - great video, it's really got me in the mood for August now. :D
Annie - :pgig: I bet he walked round with his hands covering the patch until it had dried! :blush:

The mystic fountain is hilarious! DH can never remember what it's all about until it's too late, by then we are all sore with giggling! :pgig::pgig::pgig:
Operating that thing would be my dream job :D

That is such a good video! I wish my counter was a bit smaller! Looks like November/December is a good time to go as well.

Had a chat with the fountain one early morning at IOA - even remembered us when we walked past later!
Some good videos on youtube and now I can't wait to go again:grin:

We have made a few various videos of our last two trips, they are just easier to watch in that format, rather than watching hours of unedited tape, so the videos are slowly getting better which each one we do.
It was realy funny with the fountain though, as my nephew who we took (Chris) had no clue that the fountain would squirt him with water or talk to him and so it was hilarious when it got him, especially as we were waiting for it to happen as we walked over:d:
The fountain at IoA and Donkey at Universal are my favorite things to watch. Both are hilariously funny.

First time I saw it, thought it was hilarious. I saw something on theme park rides recently and they had a few seconds clip of someone in an office with various tv screens in front of him and some controls. It was the man in charge of that fountain!
Wicked video clip. :grin:
