Thanks for the tips guys. I remember there being some unique mechanics
behind the process that these companies use to create the streams of
water that "stick together." Without it the water seperates from the
stream and causes it to spread out and not be a single stream anymore.
Does that ring a bell to anyone? There was/is an exhibit on it at the
Seattle Science Museum (back a few years ago when i visited).

Just from foggy memory, I think Epcot spent like 3 MILLION developing their
system you see running.

I'm sure it can be done much cheaper now, but it still might be pretty
expensive.

I worked at Disneyworld, and remember something about expensive high
pressure pumps that had to be able to push the water very quickly in short
bursts, and them having to replace one that cost a 80,000 or so. (Of course
Disney wants them to run 24/7 for years.)

I was just talking to one of the guys working on them backstage, so I don't
really have any more info then this.
