Hey, has anyone ever been up to the Mystic Fountain in Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando? It's in the Lost Continent zone.

I went last year and mother-in-law (don't even go there - was meant to be a cheer up holiday for my sick father-in-law but trying to be nice bit me in the arse [:(!]). Anyway, as I was saying, mother-in-law went up to it and was faffing about chatting. I thought she'd gone totally batty and was talking to herself, so I just marched up and said "What are you doing??!", to which the Fountain replied, "She's making a wish, not that it's any business of yours!". Then ensued a short argument between the Fountain and I [:I] before he switched his attention back to mother-in-law.

I just thought, what a cool job to have - being on the other end of the camera and being able to give grief and lots of cheek to people all day long [}:)]. Has anyone else visited the Mystic Fountain? Any interesting comments?

Lesson number 1 - don't call your mother in law batty, or you'll find yourself picking a fight with a fountain. [y] ;)

Nah didn't squirt mother-in-law (did you know that mother-in-law is an anagram for 'woman hitler'? [}:)]

So how do you show the fountain who's boss?!!

Oh dear - lets not start on Mother in Laws - but the anagram made me laugh - mines is an anagram for "dragon who must be obeyed" - hahahaha

Oh and to show the fountain who is boss - turn off his tap!!!!

They used to have a similar thing at the NEC,a robot who wheeled around trade shows taking the P***, always the same blokes voice and whatever you said you couldn't get the better of him,even after a few mouth loosening drinks.
