What is that hover toy outside Disneyland?

[onespeed]

There's a guy flying a hover toy every night outside Disneyland near a traffic light on Harbor Blvd. Anyone else seen him? The toy lights up, he shoots it really high like 30 ft and it slowly hovers back down to him. It looks really neat. I wanted to check it out but forgot (we used Candy Cane's shuttle). Anyone know what the toy is and where i can find it?

I have not seen the person, but you might be looking at an "LED Arrow Helicopter"
A very simple toy that has been around for decades, but the LED is a recent upgrade. You could find them at a toy store, but they are very cheap online
An example from Amazon, but there are many sources.

I haven't seen that specific person either, but I bought something like that several years ago for my dh and son. It was a hovering UFO, same principle as the helicopter but it was a little flying saucer. We had a lot of fun with those but eventually crashed them too many times into the creek (accidentally).

It was essentially like this one http://www.amazon.com/PROPEL-REMOTE-CONTROL-HOVERMAXX-HOVERS/dp/B00B6KFZWQ and looked like this when you used it (this is from youtube and is not my video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-szW6hJt0I

I just remembered the name of the site I bought it from. This is actually the exact one I bought, from this site, and we had a blast with it. It's a mini and costs about $14.

We bought a couple. This ^^^ is exactly what they are. They were a inexpensive form of entertainment for a short while. (didn't last long)

Yep. They are flare copters. 3 for $10. We bought some in September. We are still using ours.

Thanks all! They shot up really fast so I think it's probably the one with the rubberband. And it's right in my price range...cheap!!!
