@OlderG0ds If your interested it was built for EXPO 86 unfurtanatly thats about all I know but when I was there last it was a really cool place and definatly a landmark of Vancouver

Best Olympics ever!!!

@oconnal22 is that where bill nye lives?

@OlderG0ds Its called Telus Science World

@mediamon yesss its science world...ahhh i love my city..vancity

@OlderG0ds I believe that its the Biodome, a science museum

@OlderG0ds the spherical building is the "Science World" museum.

i was gonna go downtown with my friends to watch this!! i could've chased gretzky with the torch lol

@OlderG0ds it's Science World :P

@superjuicy2007 ok thanks but you're the 10th person to answer that

Science World

@OlderG0ds its Science World

Some people care....like the fact that the First Nations were recognized, and without them, many of us wouldn't be here. Ever think about that?? They WERE here first, and no one seems to comment on that!! Ignormae that you are!!

What is wrong with you people? Seriously???

recession

What do you expect? Its suppose to be short , to symbolize the start of the games, not some long drag fest that drags on for an hour, people dont care about long fireworks. During the ending ceromonies in Richmond Olympic Oval they has 10 minute fireworks, so watch the video, dont be sore that Canada got the Olympics and Norway didnt.

how about you 2 shut the fuck up and stop fighting about shit that no one cares about

um... newsflash...this is not world war 3. just don't reply back and LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

why don't u stop contacting me? ur the one who started with ur rude comment.

well... too bad for u

u don't have to be so mean about everythng.

DracodaTRN it's not a big deal about the grammer and FYI that was my little sister who wrote the big paragraph. So leave me alone!

@DracodaTRN Also, the media in Beijing was under strict rules that any glitches or mistakes were NOT to be made public. They went to a lot of trouble in keeping everything looking flawless.

i love reading youtube comment fights

@namm3rboi Yeah I have punk. I go by that corner every day on my walk home from work. Are you saying that poor people make this city ugly? Because I've known people from there, and they're totally as in to this city and what it stands for as any person from the west side, north shore, west end, or suburbs.

got 1 word for u... none of ur bussines

I want to see the real opening cermony in Vancouver cause i was about to go to real vancouver and see all of the sports and i was going to stay at a hotel and come to every event but all the tickets were out we litraly packes and i held the olympic torch cause my friends dad held the olympic torch in Milton and he brang it to our class and he gave each of us a chance to hold it so it was amazing

Too bad no one the satdium saw them live as it had a roof.

Like albertanjake said, normally, the geodesic dome is Science World - a fun place for kids. During the Olympics, it's turned into the Russian Pavilian, aka Russky House.

The spherical shape to the left is Science World...

cool beans does anyone know what the spherical shape building thing in the left is?

WTH... i live in Vancouver and i've never seen fireworks from downtown there!

I'd just like you to know that Archangel Fireworks of Winnipeg, Manitoba has won the Celebration of Light international fireworks competition in Vancouver in 2007 and 2008. So before you start passing judgement on Canadian pyrotechnic firms, perhaps you should do your homework first, because a Canadian firm blew firms from other "pyrotechnical powerhouses" out of the water, literally!

That roof wouldnt catch on fire that easily...its a 27 year old Teflon fabric. Its been thru many, many fireworks shows on the inside. And even if it did burn a hole or two...its going to be taken off within the next 6 months to start construction on the new retractable fabric roof.

I don't know who did the pyro, but I would agree based on the clip posted that it (the pyro) could have been a lot better..but that has nothing to do with being Canadian. It has everything to do with the specific supplier they chose, the product they used and their experience as well as knowledge of close proximity pyrotechnic effects.

they had more than that, i was there, that was just a small portian.. it was actually very beautiful...

thats it..

what would of happened if the roof caught on fire haha

You captured a beautiful view.

that is beautiful! thanx!!!
