    Thanks for uploading this interesting video.
    It did make me laugh that you uploaded the lift inside the McDonalds. One of the staff members I work with was selected to work there.

    Amazing piece of history. I remember, at the time I was 4, and in nursery, we made the Olympics logo with carbord tubes and paint. My dad worked at ExCel at the time, and after the Olympics, he brought home lots of left over items from the gift shop; boxes of multi-colour pens, toy taxis and keychains mainly. Over the years, I gave away a few of the pens to friends, and on my trip to Brazil this Spring, we found one of the taxis in my grandparent's flat.
    Ah how time passes

    Many thanks for uploading this video.
    I worked for McDonalds at the time of the Olympics but sadly didn't have the opportunity to apply to work in the Olympic restaurant.
    I did do some volunteering over at Heathrow T1 however, and on several occasions ended up riding in the lifts.

    Beno, yesterday, I also saw something very zany like the Coca-Cola thingummy in London. The Marwell's Zany Zebras. I've found all 48 zebras around the zoo and I'm ready to prepare to find all of them in Southampton City Center next week. It's zany, but fun.

    notice how the lifts in the stadium were Schindler's vandal-resistant design. This may have been why these were installed, because they wanted vandal-resistant lifts, which the current design are not. Also, some of those lifts (such as the ThyssenKrupp's) seemed too small for the number of people there. maybe it would have been better if the lifts were bigger, like the Schindler's and Orona's.

    0:35 I noticed on the middle sign of the main olympic entrance zone they used a different olympics logo than the ringed one either that or they had another thing for that

  • @Bombiedude.
    @Bombiedude. ปีที่แล้ว

    Such an odd idea that they would have temporary buildings with full elevators/lifts in them Im guessing that was possible there because they probably had power connections underground or they used solar panels to power the buildings

    Really weird event it wasnt like a normal fair type of thing where there was just a bunch of food stands and animal exibits and stuff this had a few full proper buildings that were all temporary which is cool but its odd that they put all their money into doing that when they couldve just done the normal stuff which would not only be easier but it would save them alot of money doing it like that

    But sadly Im from the US so I didnt get to see the olympics and even if I did I wouldnt remember it because I was young back in 2012 when you posted your video and my memory is not very good and also I have autism so Id probably go nuts from the sounds of loud music and people

    Do they at least plan to re use the elevator parts, or are they just going to demolish these perfectly functioning BRAND NEW elevators? Ugh seems so wasteful. Especially the Orona with nice fixtures.

    • @Bombiedude.
      @Bombiedude. ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the ones in both the mcdonnalds and the acer structure were probably taken out as one big mass on big trucks or something and then the rest of the building was all just a bunch of pieces that locked together I was thinking they would do the same thing for the basketball building but they probably actually demolished it and all the parts ended up in a scrap yard

    I'm not sure if you are intrested in football or not but I hope you will go one day for that kind of event...unfortunately english clubs have 'picnic' atmosphere , so I suggest to go once aborad xD
