baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just checked the Wiki listings. So of the 6 cities so far, it likes like only Doha, Istanbul and Tokyo have them. (Spain has only one but it's it in Granada.) So what are the odds now as the year draws to a close? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 What kind of question is this? It's a Christmas day, inscrutable kind of question for those who can glean the meaning of how the stars align with the logarithms of the constellations!! That's THAT kind of question this is!! Just remember this question when the votes are counted in September 2013!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deawebo 77 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 i didnt knew how these works... Intresting, so if i understood, better odds for our asian cities? And Istanbul? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qatar son 333 7 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The revolving restaurant in Doha is on the top of The Torch Hotel, this was the tower that held the Asian Games 2006 flame aside to the main cauldron in the stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galandar 40 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Baku has at least two revolving restaurants I know: 1)Baku TV Tower and 2) Hilton Baku hotel. Baku TV Tower TV Tower: Restaurant at TV Tower: Hilton Baku Hotel: Restaurant on the top of Hilton hotel: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That means Baku will make the shortlist!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emre 92 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 hey if its the only point to host the games lol check out our new project tvandradio tower 340m height with a revolving rest. and a watching platform Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Baron's Olympic-Revolving Restaurant Codex works again!! Tokyo with two operating RRs beats Istanbul with only one RR and Madrid with ZERO RR!! Watch the 2024 race: Durban has ONE RR named "Roma"; Paris/France has only one in Herault; and Italy, if Roma competes, has NONE as of 2013. If ROme or Paris want to win, they have to build at least TWO RRs each along with all the other Olympic infrastructure. And I am serious. The Olympian gods like to view the IOC matches and Olympic bidding from RRs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FYI 1206 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I really don't mind Tokyo hosting "again". I mean who on these boards was even alive back in 1964! And the very few that probably were, were just infants back then to even remember them. I didn't see too many people having a fit with London hosting for a THIRD time. I, for one think it's great. Tokyo 2020 will mark the 2nd, out of the 4 mega cities of the world, hosting the Olympics in the 21st century after London 2012. The other two being Paris & New York, which one will go to at least 100 years since it last hosted & the other never having hosted. Tokyo 2020 intrigues me very, very much! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 For 2022, it looks like Munich is the only one with a working RR. So, at this point, I will forecast that come the 127th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur in 2015, Thomas Bach will read the name of "Munich" as the 2022 Winter host city! Forget all the GB BidIndex and ATR's Power Index or whatever it's called. My BRROI works!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GBModerator 185 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 For 2024, this would be interesting. Especially for USOC that would be compelled to choose Los Angeles due to its one active revolving restaurant (two others are closed or don't revolve). L.A.: 1 active Durban: 1 Toronto: 1 active (1 doesn't revolve) Paris: 0 Rome: 0 Doha: 1 Istanbul: 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 353 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Is there a RR anywhere in Britain? I can only think of the BT Tower that could have one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
