Pangea

[DropBeat]

Been watching this from the hill on the park, can’t wait to see it in action at the weekend.

[chazwwe]

Yea, thats a lot bigger than I was expecting, lights hitting that is going to be awesome

Another angle - sent from mate on site

Let’s hope the breeze forecast doesn’t interrupt it’s use.

Couldn't see anyone else confirmed this, but I'm at Glastonbury now and the crane is spinning!!!

Looks a bit trippy on the webcam

I really hope they pull it off, the spider will take alot of beating but had become a little boring after seeing it a few times.

Isn't the moon supposed to be smaller than the earth? ?

I was saying this today to my other half, but if they made them to scale the moon would be a bit shit. My engineering brain can't get past it though, it's not to scale!!

Not only would it be very small, it'd be in Cornwall!

Haha they need a bigger crane

[bombfrog]

Actually, that's wrong, I couldn't resist doing the maths.

The distance between the earth and the moon is 30x the diameter of the earth, much less than I thought, so assuming the earth at the base of the crane is around 5-10m wide it would be a couple if hundred metres away (and a quarter of it's current diameter).

Just seen the pyro on the speaker stacks testing and it’s pretty cool. No fire from the actual crane yet. 

The moon was hanging from the crane earlier and there’s plenty of lasers and lighting on the boom of the crane. 

Still have faith in Arcadia to pull this off. 

And there’s outward facing speakers from the DJ area of the crane so not just the same circular inward facing sound field.

Yeah, I thought you were exaggerating on purpose and didn't want to be that guy to get the calculator out to correct you ?

I’m watching the moon being attached to the crane! It’s massive. At this stage you’d never know it was an Earth/moon scenario just from sight. All very weird. The jury is still out.

Any flame action last night?

Wouldn't be surprised if they give it a dry run tonight in place of the usual show rehearsal.

Yeah the was some after the fireworks, and there was a guy stood right on top of it with some sort of flame thrower in each hand.

[Homer]

Any sign of the lords of lightning? Two plinths would do it!

[Glastokeeno]

Anyone else noticed they removed the moon shortly after putting it up yesterday? Issues with wind safety perhaps? Hasn't gone back up as far as I know. 

 

Flames looked incredible last night tho!!

[Glastokeeno]

And they painted the crane with light last night, looked great!

Do we have any set times for shows? Hoping to watch it all from the Tow and Hitch tonight.

No shows apparently.

[gmb1992]

So what's happening with Pangea? Maybe it's because I'm not there but the concept has completely confused me.

Is here going to be a moon? Are there shows or just Dj sets?

Is it as good as the spider?
