CityStream: What Happened to the Bubbleator?
The Space Needle, Monorail, and Pacific Science Center helped Seattle shine as the city of the future during the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. A lesser-known but equally unique attraction was the Bubbleator. Visitors entering the high-tech elevator were greeted with "Please step to the rear of the sphere" before they enjoyed a ride with a 360-degree view. After a six-month run at the World's Fair, the Bubbleator spent decades inside what is now the Seattle Center Armory, but renovations forced a move in the 1980s. So, what happened to the Bubbleator? Where is it now and does it still work? Feliks Banel has all the answers! View the City of Seattle's commenting policy: seattle.gov/online-comment-policy
