I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It’s time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What’s your idea?
There are water-tracing dyes out there that are designed specifically to be able to dump into water to see where it’s going – like, to find leaks and such – and I bet that they’re using one of those.
IIRC you can normally get red or green.
