Olympian2004 511 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Now I see -- the Twitter reports so far are only regarding the rehearsal for the ceremonial pre-show! Well, who cares then that the pre-show will be boring as long as the "main show" isn't? Obviously there aren't any further information leaking out from the rehearsal of the main ceremony -- from what I have read on some Twitter accounts, the audience members were asked to keep the secrecy.

So the actual ceremony hasn't started yet? No wonder the pics that have leaked online already didn't have much of an audience in attendance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Well, in past rehearsals we hadn't Twitter yet -- and not so much secrecy preceding it. So all that frenzy was about to happen on this board of Olympic maniacs. Anyway, I'll call it a day (it's 3:19 a.m. now here in Germany) and I'll better catch my two-and-a-half hours of sleep. Bye and stay calm, regardless of which information is leaked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graymccarty 4 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Yes from what it looks like that was the pre-show bit that people were concerned about. Apparently it was very confusing and weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.x 24 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 The only plausible reason I could see them not having the drapes up (yet) is because of the leak a few weeks back...they probably don't want it up there (and this would mean the drapes can be installed quickly?) until right before the Opening Ceremony so that if another leak happens it won't damage/stain the drapes before the big show. Only a theory... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenadian 300 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 I wasn't going to peek in here, but I couldn't help myself. Pleassssssssssssse cover the rest of the roof! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.x 24 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Was that report about the drapes official? Yes, it was a official report. From last month: Attendees of the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony won’t recognize the inside of B.C. Place. The April 14, 2009 report from David Atkins Enterprises wanted all stadium aisles covered in cool-gray, non-slip paint with drapes at audience entrances. Atkins required the removal of ceiling-hung floodlights and speakers and advertising boards and screens. In their place are rigging for trusses, catenary and cable systems and five circular drapes needed to obscure the stained ceiling. “The eyes of the world will really be on the stadium,” said the report. “It will be impossible to hide the stained roof liner.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
