We visited Epcot back in 1983 and I distinctly remember the "jumping fountains". I thought Epcot was the coolest! I was 12 and I remember telling all my friends back home about this new park and especially these fountains. I still remember my Dad laughing at people's reactions when they weren't expecting it.

Ok I'm a terrible Dad, but each time I'm there with a new toddeler, (3 so far) I have told them "stand right here so you can really see the water leap." Then step back and video tape them when the water from the pad accross the sidewalk gets them in the middle of their back!!
I know, I know, I'm terrible hehehehe

Hey Mickeynuts' husband, I don't think settin your kids up for a little "Leap Frog Fountain Surprise" makes you a terrible dad. In fact, I applaud you for it. Teasing is one of the main reasons to have kids, right? [img]graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
I remember the Leap Frog fountains from when I was a kid, and I just loved them. My parents have video of my little brother an me playing in them. I was able to avoid getting hit, but my little brother wasn't as smooth...what great memories.
