I did a similar thing in Ft. Worth, Texas. I guess it's been about 10 years ago, I was working in the Radisson Plaza Hotel. They had a balcony on the 6th floor. We bought those superballs that light up with different colored LEDs inside them when they hit something. We had a few hundres of them that we dropped. We tested it with about 5 of them first and then we launched the rest. It reminded me of the Gulf War news footage of the tracers in the air. It was awesome!

In the summer of 1989, my cousin and I launched stinkbombs in the rollercoaster lines and in the cars.

One of my favorite 'kid games', was to go to the public racquetball courts. Because they were solid concrete rooms, with a roof and 4 walls, we had a blast with superballs. We would use slingshots and fire the balls at the wall and then try to dodge the ensuing chaos.

Where do you live?

Many of us tend to call them all superballs, though that's a brand name from a certain company.
Here, you can get them one at a time from little gumball machines or whatever for $.25 - $.50, or you can often find various sized ones in toy stores in bins or in bags of a dozen or more.

Can probably order them online if you don't find any nearby.

Yeah, here's some: http://www.toyandgamewarehouse.com/store/d...product_id=9209

Maybe from here, as this is the company that makes the actual SuperBalls®, but the site's in the middle of updating: http://www.wham-o.com

Several varieties here: http://www.partypalooza.com/IndItems/Balls-Bounce-Balls.html

I was thinking a mix that way people can only see a few of them. :dan: No i wont shoot them at people but I would drop them on people. To bad there is no building higher than 2 floors where I live (That I can leagaly enter) :( . Quess I just have to file this into things to do in a few years.

Yeah, yeah.. buy 100 of them a year, and then you'll have so many it will be devastating when you finall do something with them. :shifty:
I like the idea of the mix too.
Very sneaky.
