A great number of years ago I took my children to Disneyworld in
Florida and there they had 'jumping' water which I have wanted to have
somehow, somewhere, ever since. It's extremely childish of me but I
love the way the arcs of water seem to leap out of the pond at random,
taking everyone by surprise and making them shriek with delight. My
children spent ages trying to catch them!

Seeing the arcs, I immediately thought of 'jumping water', which I have
also always coveted! I can't think where I saw them, though , not having
been to Disneyworld.

If you do remember, will you let us know? I'd love to track it down if it's
in UK. Sacha

I know I've seen something similar in the UK......but can'r recall
where....maybe at Alton Towers ? :~)

We have something similar in a part of the pedestrian shopping centre in
downtown Rotterdam called the 'Koopgoot' (translation = shopping gutter!).

There are two water features combined in place. One which shoots fountains
vertically upwards on a random patern and one which shoots 'blobs' of water from
one end of the feature to the other. It's all installed in the pavement and it's
fun watching kids and dogs trying to catch or avoid the jets :~))
