I've seen them on once when I was there back in mid-July but thats about it. Anybody seen them on more frequently than I have? ------ I remember watching a video of a convention with Steve Davison and Sayre Wiseman. Somebody had asked them if they would be doing anything during the day with the fountains, just for a couple minutes every hour or so. Just for looks, no music, no color, just fountains. The lady answered yes they were planning on it, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. Here's the video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hziddPQtZkk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ddPQtZkk</a>

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I've never seen them on, but I assumed that it was because of using the area for viewing at night. If they turn the fountain on in the day, they need to shut it off early enough to get it dry for the evening crowds, which would likely cause it to turn off around 3 or 4. At that point, it's a stretch to even bother with the hassle. But is that portion even part of the viewing area? It looked like it might have been part of the 'asile' between the two sections, so it wouldn't matter if it was wet at night anyway. Plus, when they have shows on the stage there (which I guess isn't all that often, but I just happen to be there on the right days), they can't have the fountain on.

I saw the tests of HSM3 and the Air Force band on that stage, and the setup was a little awkward. The stage was clearly an afterthought, so it will be interesting to see how this show is recieved.
