Ride Description
Ride Report
The most successful Splash Dance of all time! We couldn’t have been luckier on the weather. It was sunny and toasty for the entire ride, excluding perhaps the ‘car wash’ fountain, which seems to be in some freaky wind tunnel. The attendees of the Saturday Market didn’t know what hit them at the Skidmore Fountain. The kids at the Jameson fountain couldn’t have been happier to have more playmates. Gabriel Amadeus Tiller was actually mobbed by ferocious little girls, he barely made it out alive. The Car Wash teased us with it’s inconsistent flow, but the dancing couldn’t be beat. We had an impromptu detour to a new fountain, that sadly wasn’t turned on. Followed by the most glorious stop at the Ira Keller fountain, where the attached photo was taken. Finally we were foiled at the Lovejoy fountain which wasn’t on, but we didn’t let that stop our fun! The Thundertwins blew up the spot with their tandem music systems that were linked via an fm transmitter. Bathing suit clad folks danced and soaked up the rays in the sun-soaked courtyard until dinner called!
Dutch says:
best splash dance ever! At our peak there musta been 200 people. The dance tunes were rocked the whole way thru courtesy of the Thundertwins, debuting their new mobile FM station (start bringing anything that can pick up FM to rides!)
We hit six fountains, and each one was amazing. The weather was perfect, half the crowd had water guns, no problems with the cops, everything was pretty much perfect. We took some awesome group pictures, hopefully they get posted up soon.
