Where is it now?
 

Food

-- 7.5 million hamburgers were sold during the fair.
-- Enough Cotton Candy was sold to fill the British Columbia Pavilion to the top.
-- 8 million ice-cream products were sold.
-- 4.2 million hot dogs were sold.  Placed end to end, the line would stretch from Vancouver to Seattle and back.
-- 1/4 million pounds of coffee was brewed.
-- 1.2 million gallons of beer was consumed.

Events/Entertainment

--Seven weddings were performed at Expo 86.  One took place under water and six were traditional Shinto ceremonies.  It was the first time traditional Shinto weddings took place outside of Japan.
-- Expo 86 had the largest gathering of Street Entertainers ever to congregate and perform in one place.  There were over 14,000 street performances during the fair's run. 

Souvenirs

-- Contrary to popular belief, the Expo watches for sale were not made by the Swatch company of Switzerland.  Expo 86 inspired swatch designs were available at the Swiss pavilion for a much greater price.

Miscellany

-- Expo 86 was the second World Fair to be held in Canada.  The first was Expo 67 in Montreal.
-- Expo 86 was the largest specialized fair to date in terms of acreage.  With 54 international participants, two thirds of the world's population was represented. 
-- 96 Expo committees were formed around British Columbia.
-- The theme "Transportation and Communication" had a sub theme: "a celebration of ingenuity."
-- Expo 86 boasted the largest Canadian Flag, the largest puck and the largest hockey stick.
-- every building on the 173 acre site was designed to be wheelchair accessible.
-- when the Concorde flew over Expo 86 it had to take off and land in Seattle. At that time, Vancouver did not have a runway long enough to accommodate the Concorde.

China Gate -- was moved in front of the Chinese Cultural Centre on Pender Street.

Friendship 500/Mcdonalds -- nicknamed the McBarge, it was the busiest McDonalds in the world during the summer of 1986.  Today it is abandoned and forgotten. It can be seen anchored in the waters of Burrard Inlet just north of Capitol Hill.

Inukshuk -- the Inukshuk that stood outside the Northwest Territories Pavilion is now sitting on a grassy point on the south side of English Bay.

Locomotive #374 -- which stood in front of the Roundhouse during the fair has been restored and now sits inside the building.  The pavilion itself was turned into a community centre.

Main Gate Circular Portals -- are now situated by the Agradome in Hastings Park.

Million Dollar Gold Coin -- does anyone know? Rumour has it that Jimmy Patterson won it at the Expo 86 garage sale/aution.

Modular Pavilions -- were sold to various corporations.  Several modules have been erected at the Scott Paper processing plant on the outskirts of New Westminster.

The Monorail -- is now shuttling passengers to and from the parking lot at Alton Towers Amusement Park, England.

Office Furniture -- much of which came from pavilion offices and the administration centre was either auctioned off or moved to other government institutions.  The Mapleridge library (now closed) was furnished ala Expo 86.

Park Benches and Garden Planters -- have been moved to various parks.  Hastings Park, site of the Pacific National Exhibition, has the majority of Expo's park benches.

The Spirit Lodge -- This hit attraction was supposedly moved to a town on Vancouver Island where they still perform shows in the summer.  I have not been able to find any information on this.  However, if anyone is interested in experiencing it again Knotts Berry Farm in southern California hired the original designers to produce a show almost identical to the one at Expo 86. 

World's Largest Canada Flag -- is still flying overhead a car dealership in Surrey.

World's Largest Hockey Stick and Puck -- now decorates the front facade of the arena in the town of Duncan, BC.

Expo Ernie -- was last seen sipping margaritas at Wreck Beach.  Go Ernie!
