I'm sure it will be a lot wider, but it doesn't look as huge and impressive as I was thinking. I don't mean to be a downer, but the scale of the rides behind it completely throws it off. I'm sure it will look much bigger in person (when you're closer and you can feel the water spraying off of it and all that), but from that one video it doesn't look quite as big as they've been making it sound.

Thus, muzak.
