Observer
Name Joann C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was absolutely gorgeous. Had to look it up to see if anyone else saw what I saw. Have only seen things like that in comic books or on television. Totally amazing experience. The front was wider and very bright colored Orange and yellow more than the rest, not totally straight and had a little arc to the shape.
