This Merlin dropped 8 billion confetti into the stadium towards the end of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2012 later on that evening. The colour scheme was temporarily and water soluable paint was used, which was washed off a few days later. (good thing it didn't rain during this period) This photo is copyright © Gerhard Plomitzer, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
