ok so i'm in a debate with someone about this issue and we decided to let inforoo settle it.
The mushroom fountain at bonnaroo. The water that comes out of it and cascades down, is it fresh water pumping out or does the water go into a drain and get cycled back out the top of the mushroom?
i havent gone in the thing since 04. back then it was recycling water. it was like taking a shower in a third world drainage ditch full of hepatitis and crap. so now i avoid it. but it definitly looked cleaner this year then in years past, so im not sure if they changed it. it seems like it would be a lot of water to not recycle it.

far as I know it is recycled water - was there with a friend that had been before and we went into the fountain the very first day that they turned it on - he said it was the only good day to do it
I purposely took before and after pictures of the fountain this past summer. The picture that was the web page's background was taken on Thursday, but I had taken one on Friday where the water was brown. My camera has recently gone missing(long dramatic story), but if I find it I will post that pic for everyone.
wow, i couldn't imagine them recycling that water after all those filthy people get in and out of it. I was thinking it was water coming from a deep well or something, but i guess you're all right cuz my person says she saw it get brown and i couldn't remember it ever being brown, i guess there was a reason i didn't get in it all weekend....do yall think the water in the water sheds is pumped from a deep well?
this past year i noticed it was shut off a couple times though, and why would they bother to shut if off during the day if if just was the same water the whole time anyway?
I always thought it was the same water the whole time and that was why it was hippie-mud by the second or third day, but i never noticed it OFF before....
anyone remember if it was ever shut off in years before '06?
I actualy asked a staff member why it was off this year and he told me "it is getting cleened because it got pretty dirty last night" so take that however you want I would assume it recycles for awile and it problay gets changed a few times
