  Looking up river.
  I had not noticed.. the front canon that they usually fire was not there this morning. When that part of the spiel came up a cast member went up there and went through the motions then made a pow sound. I did not think fast enough to get a video. It was a fun moment.
  Talked to the cast members and they said yesterday they ran out of ammo and were waiting for it to be replenished.
