I remember being there when I was like...7 or 8 (Now 17) and I went up to the left side of that thing and there's this hand print thing, and I put my hand and it and then suddenly ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZ it went off the instant I put my hand there. I don't know if that set it off or..wow..coinsidence

@Emlis16 You're braver than me! I don't think I would've put my hand there! :)

@willsy98 How disappointing! I hope you get to see it one day, as it's loud but amazing!

If you haven't been here before, in real life, this is louder than on this video. I only went there last week! It was epic! =D
