    It isnt a hologram, but a water screen with video projection from what i can tell, i think it looks pretty cool. Didnt see any lasers either.

    They use this same technology (water screen + video projection) at Disney's MGM studios - at the "Fantasmic" outdoor theater that has the big show at night. Pretty cool stuff, but no lasers...

    So am I the only one who, when I first saw the video above, and realized it was running in Japan, thought it would be insanely funny to yell "Godzilla!"???

    (I'm going to hell, aren't I?)

    Looks like a bit of LCI's work...

    Check out their site, some nice laser, water, pyro and video stuff there...

    has anybody ever made one of these screens? I would be interested in having a go at making one.

    As far as I can see, A high power water pump and a spray head ?

    Any Ideas?

    fast high volume pump and a spinning nozzle. Well part of the nozzel spins, That looks like one of Sandor Holly's rigs.

    Sea World of Ohio (Rest In Peace) had one.

    Haha.. i live in Anaheim, and they do it at Disneyland in well. It bugs me that the Disneyland employee's describe it as a "laser light show on water" although, there aren't any lasers.. oh well.. people are just misinformed I guess. My mother calls all my lights/scanners/projectors/moving heads "lasers"...
