Explore the History of this artwork.
The fountain was initially built between 1980 and 1983, and was inspired by the Geneva Fountain (length 140 meters, pumping speed 124 mph), but the planners were not satisfied with the height. The fountain was then operated in its current form in 1985 to pump sea water at a speed of 233 miles per hour to a height of 312 meters (1024 feet).
Team Red Bull Air Force base jumper Othar Lawrence set a global record by making a historic jump along the fountain.
