This needs to be flown as a fun surprise for people walking through a park or a graveyard at night.

Damn that is awesome. Very rarely do I have to resist a $2000 impulse buy.

It's a public post, kinnakeet, so I'm not sure why you can't see it. If I log out of Facebook I can view the post.

DIA should order some custom blue horse kites from the guy. We could have an avenue of Blucifers swaying in the breeze.

Caterpillar: Now the first thing you notice about this ground bouncer is the size of it. It is big. I mean REALLY BIG! Think of a school bus parked inside. It stretches 60 feet long and 15 feet tall. The other thing you quickly discover is that she is designed with nothing for children to grab hold of. If you fly big kites, you know this is significant.posted by ennui.bz at 1:10 AM on May 18, 2016 [1 favorite]
There is a giant kite club that flies kites here on the beach. They are the best, and this is one if the best I've seen. Fly, cephalopod, fly!

I guess Facebook's version of 'public' is everyone who is logged into facebook.

So much fun--thanks for the Youtube link! I wonder how difficult it is to launch and to put away.
I love festival kites, and own this one. Kids especially love it. "Flying pants! Far out!"
