Stupid Guest Tricks

Ok, so I was wandering around the internet and came across this little item. Its from an article about Hidden secrets of Epcot. Whoever wrote it rambles on and on a bit so I found it a little difficult to follow.

taly—(1) If you wander around behind the shops (where the fountains are), look around for little red press-buttons that say "press for a surprise" (or something to that affect). If you press the button, water squirts from a different location. It’s always fun to see where the water comes from when you do it, and then, wait for an unsuspecting person to walk by. They can't ever figure it out. (2) In Italy, when you are walking towards the pavilion, you have the shop with the clothes on the left. OK, that building, the columns have little men, maybe monks (?) carved into them, a little over head level. I am not 100% if I am right on the EXACT location, but there is the corner column, then either the next one or the one after that (so either the second or third from the end of the corner of the World Showcase walkway and the one leading into Italy), one of the men is actually holding a bowling ball. All of the figures seem to be holding something round, but only one has a bowling ball. I had to have a CM taller than me point it out, as I was too short (I’m 5’5”) and could only feel it with my fingers. The CM told me one of the architects was a bowler and wanted to leave that in the building. (3) Located in the central plaza of the Italy pavilion, known as the "Plaza del Teatro," you can find the "Fontana de Nettuno." This fountain contains the image of Neptune, the God of the Sea, and was inspired by Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Fountain of Trevi, located in Rome, Italy. The original famous fountain is often recognized as having been seen in Federico Fellini's classic film, "La Dolce Vita."

Now I have been coming to Epcot since Jesus was knee high to a grasshopper and I have never seen nor heard anything about buttons with surprise jets or this bowling ball business. I can only think that at maybe one time It did exist and I just missed it. I know there is nothing like that now. Anybody know anything about this?

You would probably need to ask what the author had been smoking! ;)

There has got to be someone that works there now that can swing by and check this stuff out for us. I don't remember any of this stuff, but I live a little to far away to verify.

I'll have to check this out next time I'm there. We usually go to one of the parks on Sunday. I've been to EPCOT many times and have never heard about this. My last time there was on the 4th of July.

Went to Epcot today to explore the Italian pavilion. I found the guy holding the bowling ball, actually it is more of a "holy hand grenade" type of item. I couldn't find any secret buttons and I looked at all the columns there. I did find something that looked like it could have had something in it's mouth at one time. I'll post a picture in a bit.

Here it is.

We're the any "vicious bunnies" next to the holy hand grenade ready to "nibble your bum?"

I really couldn't picture what they meant about a guy with a bowling ball. Silly me. Whenever I saw that I thought he was holding the Sceptre and Orb. ;) The Orb came in with Charles II, iinm, and actually had a cross on top represnting Christ's dominion over the Earth.

Coming from who has spent every week in the ski season touring the alps on the last 11 years, then I feel allowed to have an opinion.
