A surprising amount of iconic Expo attractions are still in operation or on display in Vancouver and around the world. Here’s just a few:
• The Scream Machine. Yes, you can still ride Expo’s famously twisty rollercoaster, which originally sat where Rogers Arena is now. The Scream Machine was sold to Six Flags St. Louis, renamed Ninja, and is still in operation.
• World’s Largest Hockey Stick.Originally affixed to the side of the Canada Pavilion, the massive stick can now be found on the Cowichan Community Centre in Duncan, BC.
• UFO H20.The popular Expo water park was relocated to the Mount Layton Hot Springs Resort in Terrace, BC.
•Monorail.The onsite Expo monorail (not to be confused with the Skytrain) sold to the Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, England, is still in operation, and actually looks pretty good!
•Inukshuk.Our English Bay Inukshuk (which became the symbol of the 2010 Olympics) was originally part of Expo’s Northwest Territories Pavilion.
• Log Flume. The Cariboo Log Flume plunge ride was sold off to the Upper Clements Amusement Park in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, and is still in operation.
• China Gate.Originally part of the China Pavilion, it’s now permanently situated on Pender Street, serving as the entrance to Chinatown.
