The Fountain
Spectacular
|
|
| The Fountain of Planets, impressive
in size and design, uses more than 400-tons of water ejected
through 2,000 nozzles. This is the scene of the popular fountain
and fireworks show held nightly during the Fair season and free
to Fair visitors. About 10,000 tons of water are recirculated
during the show and approximately 150,000,000 candle power illuminates
the waters with brilliant and changing color-lighting. Fireworks
in the display are fired from 464 mortars. Over 1,000 different
patterns of water and light effects are produced. |
Fountain Show
Music
 |
The Fountain Show is a combination
of artistry and science in a fountain design of limitless possibilities.
The players are electronics, sound, water, lights, colors and
fireworks, in a harmonious aray of delightful effects. The theme
of the show, changed daily, may be classical, popular, patriotic,
spiritual or any other pre-planned motif. Punched cue cards which
set the show in motion, control thousands of regulating relays,
valves, switches and other devices involved in the presentation. |
