Tweets About The Drones In The Opening Ceremony Show How Impressed Everyone Is

The opening ceremony of any Olympic games is impressive, and the Pyeongchang opening ceremony at the 2018 Winter Olympics was no exception. There were a ton of highlights from the elaborate three hour performance tonight, but one of the standout moments was when we saw some drones dancing in the air. And the tweets about the drones in the Olympics opening ceremony prove just how impressive the artistry and accuracy of these drones actually was.

The opening ceremony took place on Feb. 9, just two day after the the Olympic games began. Although some of the winter sports have already gotten underway beginning on Feb. 8, tonight marked the official opening of the games with a spectacle of an opening ceremony. The performance tonight included an artistic portion that detailed the history and traditions present in North Korea, and displayed where the nation is headed to in the future.

Although the artistry was stunning and the synchronized dancing was something to marvel, the integration of technology that was present throughout the ceremony was truly outstanding. One of the biggest wow moments was when viewers got to witness a pre-filmed sequence where a band of skiers and snowboarders paraded down a mountain with a massive envoy of drones flying above them.

The total amount of drones that were flying together was impressive alone, which stood at 1,200. And if that's not impressive enough for you, the drones made several different formations, including an actual floating snowboarder — and perhaps most impressively the Olympic symbol of the five rings that floated in a perfect formation at the bottom of the mountain.

Take a look for yourself — these drones really mean business.

And Twitter was in a frenzy over this impressive display of technology and artistry.

More to come.
