Carter Fountain Carter Fountain The Carter Fountain is a distinctive feature out in Wellington Harbour from Oriental Bay. Installed in 1973, it was named after its benefactor, Hugh Carter, who drowned only days after the fountain's inauguration. The Carter Fountain was installed in 1973 and first switched on in March of that year. It was originally to be named the Oriental Bay Fountain until the untimely death of its benefactor. At a cost of NZ$75,000, the fountain was a gift to the city of Wellington from local resident Hugh Carter. Carter was inspired by the Jet d'Eau fountain he saw in Geneva
Jet City Improv Saturdays at 10:30pm. The 10:30pm Friday/Saturday night performance became a tradition that Jet City maintains to this day.

Jet City Improv's performances were relocated to the Ethnic Cultural Theater, on the University of Washington campus in 1997. In October 1997, Jet City debuted the first Twisted Flick, an improvised re-dubbing of Creature from the Black Lagoon. Jet City produced the first ever Jet City Improv New Year's Eve show on December 31, 1999 entitled the "Y2K Bash"
