By one of the tallest did they mean top 50 its not as tall as some of the tallest worldwide
King Fahd's Fountain (1985) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at 260 meters (853 feet) is currently the tallest continually-running fountain in the world.The fountain jets sea water from the Red Sea.
The World Cup Fountain in the Han-gang River in Seoul, Korea. (2002), advertises a height of 202 meters (663 feet).
The Gateway Geyser, (1995), next to the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri, shoots water 192 meters (630 feet) in the air. It is the tallest fountain in the United States.
Port Fountain (2006) in Karachi, Pakistan, rises to height of 190 meters (620 feet) making it the fourth tallest fountain.
Fountain Park, Fountain Hills, Arizona (1970). Can reach 171 meters (562 feet) every hour when all three pumps are operating, but normally runs at 91 meters, or 300 fee
The Dubai Fountain, opened in 2009 next to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. The fountain performs once every half hour to recorded music, and shoots water to height of 73 meters, or 240 feet. The fountain also has extreme shooters, not used in every show, which can reach 150 meters, or 492 feet.

According to visitomaha.com, which has had this description of the park for a few years.
But I agree, I don't think the old fountain was really shooting water 300 ft into the air.

I haven't seen it nearly as high as it use to be. Â All the construction equipment is still down there.Coyote wrote:SO that begs the question: Are they totally fixed and that is as high as they will get; Are they totally fixed, but not shooting for its height yet; Are they not yet totally fixed?

Is the fountain on some type of schedule or something... I have gone down there two different times and its been off, however other days I am in the old market and you can see it going strong... Â Last night it was off.

Heartland Of America Park Fountain Turning On Again
New features have been added to the water spray and light show. There will be live music and it all begins at 6:30 p.m.
What's with the fountain, to me, it seems to be on a completely RANDOM schedule of when its on and when its not on. Â Any ideas?

Speaking of the park... I've noticed that the parking lot here is almost always full during the day. Who is using this lot?
Re: Heartland Park fountain damaged (Fixed)
People that don't want to pay to park downtown. Its always the first lot full during CU and UNO Games as well.Coyote wrote:Speaking of the park... I've noticed that the parking lot here is almost always full during the day. Who is using this lot?

Drove by the HoA Park and heard some water falling so I parked and found this was on:

Re: Heartland Park fountain damaged (Fixed)
