John
Pedersen wanted his own "Old
Faithful" in South Florida. He
created the geyser by building up the
base of the lake and connecting the pipes
to the pump assembly that ran the
waterfall. The geyser went off regularly
every 35 minutes but could be turned on
at any time. The geyser was named for the
Watusi people of central Africa who are
often over 7 feet tall. The geyser
reached heights of its own, often sending
water 160 feet in the air, outdoing Old
Faithful herself by 10 feet. To see how
the Watusi Geyser looks today, click
