BC place deflation
 

dont kno if there is one? just a guess

why are they deflating the roof?

New retractable roof

Err, this has been in the news over the past while... They're removing the existing roof and replacing it with a retractable roof.

so bye bye to the big puffy pillow? :(

He's not from here, so he might not have heard the news.

No more pineapple bun :\

Ahhh ok, just noticed he's out in the East. :thumbsup:

bye bye marshmallow

Here you go.

^i love you
i ran out of thanks!

looks like a giant Caterpillars' shell ..hahahaahaha

The Vancouver skyline will never look the same!

why does it dance at .08ish ? seemed like someone was pumping air in while it was trying to deflate..

also the process to 30 mins irl.

probably because of the wind

a closer shot

they shoulda sold tickets to ride the deflation

I kinda feel a little sad now.

"After the old roof is taken away, installation will begin on a new retractable roof. It is being called the largest cable-supported retractable roof in the world, which should be complete sometime next year."

Found a pic of the new design.. definitely will make Vancouver look more interesting!

IMO

this will sooner or later be part of the Vancouver History thread
