One was most recently used for the 50th anniversary and had a dancing water show. There is a cement stage to it as well, all outdoors. It is a medium/large sized area. Then there is the waterfalls/lightshow that you can pass under at the hotel by way of a path that twists through, and finally their main swimming pool area, next to the remote controlled boats. I wasn't fortunate enough to see this show that you speak of, but when I was a kid in the 70s, there was a park not too far called Enchanted Village, with plenty of bamboo, another body of water that you could take a boat ride on, and a lagoon creature(some dude in a seaweed covered scuba suit would try to board the boat, and rock it back and forth, making you think you were all plunging into the depths of creature hell. That "monster" scared the shit! outta me, and I still remember to this day, I was about to jump out and make a swim for land, until my pops grabbed my arm. So then I made the next move to crawl under the open boat seats to hide under other people. Ahh, yes....and they had a luau type show at dusk with firewalkers,jugglers and fine wahines shakin' it all up...I got on stage with them when I was a kid and hula'ed with them. According to my folks, I had the whole place busting up in hysterics, including the band/dancers. By the sounds of it, I wonder if I inadvertantly, invented the booty shaking contest....? :lol:
