I am trying to find a way get my hands on or create a water balloon that will pop in mid-air when launched or thrown, basically creating a shower effect.

I am not sure if the balloon would have to be modified or if the contents of the balloon would have to be modified. The contents woulds have to be safe and stable.
Are you sure a water balloon is really the most effective way to create a shower effect? Put your thumb over part of a hose opening and spray it straight up.. or get a hose attachment that makes it into a "shower"...

If you really must use a water balloon, I guess you could use the string idea.. but attach a bobby pin to the string, and put the contraption inside the balloon before you tie it off. If you throw it carefully, a slight jerk on the string will ram the pointy end of the bobby pin right through the wall of the balloon..
