luizfernandobr45 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 There was an article that said they were to builiding towers outside the stadium to strengthen the roof. Ruben Look that there is some steel cables on the tower. Claúdio Silva As you see, the stage is not elevated as I said before. Now they're putting all the line arrays (more than 10 I read) and all the lights. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauricio Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Those are the tunnels Maracanã has. These I know, they exist. I've been there. BUt no tunnel like that one used in Atlanat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauricio Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 No tunnel like leading to the center of the field. In Atlanat they had one. That one everything was connected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 @Mauricio. I know the one in Atlanta. I had checked out that one tunnel myself. If you will research other pictures of the renovation work at Maracana, WITHOUT THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT on the field, I think you will find one where the mouth of one tunnel was shown. (Or at least, I would've put one there if I were in charge; because it was done after Beijing and Rio had already been picked as the 2016 host.)

Well, Baron, I goona feel amazingly surprised if they have hidden the existance of one or more tunnels from public. Well, that would be great if they had tunnels there because they would have more possibilities to create and perform their ideas, their concepts, like the ine Geometrization bla bla bla...

Ikarus360 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, tunnels or not, if they raised the level of the floor that means there might as well be props which will rise from the ground like in London. Though I guess they won't be too large or heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, tunnels or not, if they raised the level of the floor that means there might as well be props which will rise from the ground like in London. Though I guess they won't be too large or heavy. If they have built a raised floor, it's much much more subtle than London's, with probably only a very limited area capable of hiding large contraptions (particularly given the need for human access in case things go a bit Vancouver).

brasilolimpico Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 In my opinion the Maracanã will have as many structures as London 2012, before the 'Pandemonium'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasilolimpico Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Newspaper 'O Globo': 60 heads of state confirm presence at the opening. The matter of the newspaper deals with the impeachment, but devotes a short note to the opening ceremony. The newspaper says that 60 heads of state confirm presence at the ceremony is expected 95 heads of state come to Brazil, the expectation is still Barack Obama will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) /\/\ It looks like a container shipyard. I bet the flags of the nations will definitely be projected on there (i.e., inside or outside).

brasilolimpico Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I see no rise in the Maracana floor. Probably they did something in the style of London or Vancouver. - These LED screens take up as much space in the stands , I hope they are used in incredible shape , because the point is not the most beautiful .

JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 /\/\ It looks like a container shipyard. I think the flags of the nations will defnitely be projected on there!! The "containers" do have blue curvy outlines on their front faces- except for the ones near the top which have structures like the facade of a skyscraper. That doesn't entirely rule out a rear-projection or LED-screen system though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brasilolimpico Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 It seems that many seats will the vision impaired because of the large screens . I sincerely hope that 2016 does not sell those seats because not worth R $ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope that 2016 does not sell those seats because not worth R $ 1 Tricky! In order to maintain a smidgen of surprise, the stack of blue boxes is not indicated on the Opening Ceremony ticketing plan, which makes it look as if you can pay R$200 for a seat which would in reality be inside a blue box (all seats around that end are R$200, which would be about $62 US or £47 GB).

It's so unfair if they are selling tickets behind the LED screens . Imagine you prepare for a trip to Rio and discover that it has a huge wall in front that prevents him from seeing the entire stage or much of it . Even in London 2012, the great tree had no potential to screw up so significantly to the spectators vision that was behind her . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasilolimpico Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 My biggest fear is that this ceremony is too simple. That lacks surprising elements that can put the opening in history. The pattern of London 2012 is the ideal , we do not need to Beijing in 2008 but if we invest in a very simple ceremony , it will appear that we went back to the 70s .
