- 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.

- FEATURES
- 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 array 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.
