They had a special ceremony for this a/c once it arrived in Atlanta, and here's some photos from the event (I guess we'll see a similar type ceremony when the first A380 flight hits town.):

HAHA, yeah that would be pretty counter productive to give it a water canon salute, only to have to spend the next 30 minutes de-icing the plane of it's frozen water!

Here is a video I took when the whale was parked at South Cargo in Atlanta. I was getting in position to get a good shot but airport police came along...so unforunately, the clip is nothing spectacular. But you do get to see the nose cargo door open...
