This is the only existing tunnel in Maracanã. OK, Mauricio, I guess I hoped they would build tunnels under the field to make it easier to move people and props like Sochi and Beijing did. I mistook all that equipment to them lowering the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphamale86 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I can honestly say we have more pictures from this opening ceremony rehearsals than I'v seen from any other yet I have no idea what the ceremony is about London we knew almost ever segment and what is was trying to portray by the time the curtain rose on the OC this time around I have no clue what to expect even though we are seeing so much. I'm getting excited for the show now. and even more so for the lighting of this cauldron than any other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this going to be just a human formation ceremony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're going to have over 200 of those in the tight spaces of Maracana? I mean it's cute for the first dozen nations, but afterwards, so what? I hope no islamic nation pipes up and complains that it would be un-islamic to march behind a flower-bearing tricycle!! Can't wait for the Opening Ceremony where they will use fire trucks or bulldozers to lead in the Nations! LOL!!

Conor15 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well, Rio is a vibrant city so why go for something boring when you can add a splash of liveliness and color to the ceremony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, 204 homes in Rio will have to make room in their garages for those contraptions afterwards. I wonder if the inverted traffic cones will attach to the cauldron; and as the cauldron spins, spew flowers and plants all over the place?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
