We spent some time at the Gateway in Salt Lake City. They have a great Olympic Plaza with this giant in-ground water fountain. Every hour on the hour the Mormon Tabernacle Choir blasts through the square singing the Olympic Theme, "Call of the Champions," composed by John Williams. "Citius! Altius! Fortius!" (Faster, Higher, Stronger) as the water dances to the music and slowly reaches for the sky. When the water/music show is not going on, there is a continual array of jumping water that shoots up from the ground. All the kids loved running through it.
